The Importance Of Combing Your Hair Daily
Combing your hair is essential to your daily routine. Similar to brushing your teeth, if you don’t comb your hair, it’s noticeable. It's time to embrace your hair and treat it good, so it can be good to you. Here are reasons why combing your hair daily is important and tips on the proper way to comb your hair.
Why Is It Important?
Combing your hair daily not only helps keep your style in place, but it also helps to stimulate the scalp. Your hair roots produce natural oil (sebum) within the scalp and combing your hair activates those sebaceous glands. Just like other parts of your body, when the scalp is stimulated it produces blood flow which helps promote health and in return grows the hair. Implementing this simple routine is an easy way to see new hair results. Try it, you will like it.
How Often Should You Comb Your Hair?
As I mentioned in my previous post about shedding (check it out if you missed it) ideally you want to comb your hair every day. Each day we lose up to 100 hair follicles. So imagine the number of hair follicles you may lose if you only comb your hair once a week. Combing your hair daily maintains the stimulation of the scalp and quickly removes dead hair.
What’s The Best Comb To Use?
When detangling the hair, always choose a wide-tooth comb. The spaced-out teeth on the comb allow you to seamlessly glide through the hair, gently grabbing any loose strands ready to come out. You’ll also notice that you can grab larger portions of hair with a wide-tooth comb, making your overall hair process a lot quicker. Though larger tooth combs are always ideal when styling hair, styling and maintaining a pixie is a bit different. When it comes to maintaining your pixie you may need more than one comb to get the job done. After detangling with the wide-tooth comb, try a barber comb to position the hair in your desired style. The beauty of a barber comb is that it has both a wide tooth and a fine-tooth section, which is great for preventing breakage while styling.
How To Comb Your Hair To Maintain A Pixie
Comb your hair to shape your face. Whichever way you plan to wear your hair, create a routine where you constantly comb your hair into that desired style. This will naturally train the hair to stay in that specific spot. Always comb forward when styling a pixie. Since combing your hair is the prep work before molding and shaping your pixie, it’s important to comb forward to help with the process.
