Throughout the entire day your hair goes through a myriad of problems and solutions. Is the air too hot and the hair starting to frizzy? Just roll it up in a bun and forget about it. Does the parent teacher meeting require you and her to be both dresses to the best in your formals? Just throw your hair into a tight braid and hers’ into two ponies. Will the hot guy from English class be walking past you in a few minutes? Just open the hair and ruffle it up for a messy look. Our hair goes through a lot of solutions and at the end of the day it comes down to the important nitty gritties.
Combing has a lot of benefits other than the usual settling the hair down. When you comb your hair, the scalp experiences pressure from the comb teeth which in turn stimulates blood circulation. With proper circulation, now you can easily grow your long stunted hair without worry.
* When you start with combing your hair, make sure you have the tangles sorted out first. If you try to comb your hair scalp down with tangles, not only will you end up losing a lot of hair but also will experience pain and difficulty.
* Always start from the end. Separate your hair from the middle and gather one side with your hand. With a brush or comb start lightly combing through the lower layers. Don’t hesitate to use your hand if the tough tangles don’t listen to the combs.
* Slowly work your way up to the middle only after the lower ends have been sorted out. The last section is the scalp. If you have your hair parted in the middle, follow the hair line and comb sideways.
* Once you have combed the two sides down, use a partition comb to part the hair to your desired parting. You can even try the flip and sweep method where the hair is combed backwards and then making a suitable partition, the front locks and flicked to the side and swept. This gives a more defined and volume filled look.
* Always avoid combing wet hair. If you have wet hair and combing is necessary please follow the upper rules where you comb the lower ends and move up. In case of wet hair tangles, use water force to detangle your hair. Then dry it before combing.
