How to choose a comb for hair

Hairbrush - an indispensable attribute of any person who cares about their hair, care for which is required daily. But for the thousand-year history of this accessory there are still people who do not even realize that each species performs its function, and each type of hair requires its own form, materials and structure. All of this, just much more, we will tell right now.

Gone are the days of antiquity, when hairbrushes were made exclusively of polished animal bones, and Russian beauties use not only wooden combs. Modern stores will offer a dozen materials, but the most popular of them quite fit into a kind of Top-5.

Rather expensive, but universal option for owners of straight and not too naughty hair. Natural pile is rough to the touch, but at the same time it is generally pleasant to the head and certainly does not damage the skin, even when strongly pressed.

But this material has a number of disadvantages:

• Not suitable for oily hair - it becomes even greasy in appearance;
• Pile is useless for curly, curly and tangled hair;
• Such combs are capricious and short-lived.

The most common to date raw materials for the production of comb. Most of the brands represented in the stores use hypoallergenic plastics with a good margin of safety, durability when working with a hairdryer, and an extremely low price when compared with other materials.

Someone might say that this is a worthy alternative to plastic, but the specification of such combs is very narrow - they are suitable only for dyeing and other procedures related to chemical compositions that are easy for carbon. Plus, the price of them is often more “toothy” than the usual plastic products.

The choice of our grandmothers, and for the most part they were right. Wooden combs, massage options and other forms will always be in trend, thanks to the beneficial effects on the skin and on the strands themselves, the absence of static electricity and allergies.

The most popular and useful species are:

• Oak;
• Birch tree;
• Juniper;
• Sandalwood

The stereotype that a metal comb is needed in the pocket of every man is no longer relevant. Many girls, having a short haircut, prefer this material, but they forget that chemical reaction with metal is a dangerous thing, and can cause many unpleasant things, including premature gray hair.

Extraordinary and very expensive option for those who love antiques.Although their production is now limited, in order to preserve the reptile population in the world, in some boutiques the tortoise horn is the number one material.

There will not even have to say a lot - oval, rectangular and square brushes will never leave the dressing table of fashionistas and stylists, and without a difference, it is made from natural fiber or from synthetic. The main thing is quality and durable rubberized grip so that nothing slips out.

More popular option that can be performed in any of the above materials. The main condition is a flat shape and vertically arranged rounded teeth to massage the surface of the head, but not to injure it.

The leader of sales, regardless of the material. It looks like a primitive form has more than one modification, designed for a variety of purposes - from disentangling the tips to parting and more complex hairstyles.

There is a separate layer of hairbrushes that cannot be found in every home, and even if they do, then their owners themselves sometimes do not know what exactly this model was designed for. There are a lot of them, but the best-selling species are the next three.

She is a round brush. Designed to create voluminous cocoons and other hairstyles. It is a recognizable "tube" on the handle with a heap of hard nylon pile. Brand models have replaceable and spare cylinders.

Special design for drying and styling with a hairdryer. Holes in the form of "edges" just play the role of a primitive duct, so as not to burn the sensitive root system. The teeth on it are mostly rare, which only improves practicality.

In the people - a nine-row comb, because it is in this format that it is most often made. The row arrangement of the teeth is not accidental - it is necessary at the final stage of laying in order to finally fix the position of unruly curls.

It is not easy to answer this question, because the correct and final choice of comb always depends on you, your hair type and the result you want to achieve.

Massage forms are best bought by curly ladies, because only this design allows you to unwind the curly ringlets from nature.

Oily hair should be combed with a compensating material - a tree or a horn, by which natural bone is often meant. And, if wood raw materials, if we are not talking about expensive breeds, are relatively cheap, then the second type is not so easy to buy.

Opinions happy, and not very much, the owners of hairbrushes in the network a great many. If you try to bring this stream of negative and positive into some kind of system, you get the following conclusions:

• Wooden teeth should not have burrs - this is a factory defect.
• If the brush has a rubber base, check its integrity and tightness.
• The rounded tips of the teeth are always good.
• For aromatherapy with natural hair oils, only wood is suitable.
