Precautions:

Combing hair should be conducted on daily basis yet with details to be watched out for:

1, avoid combing all the way to the end

Combing all the way from the root to bottom will not only cause the hair to knot, but also cause hair loss. The correct hair brushing should be holding a fragment of hair first, comb the scattered hair tips, then comb the hair to the end of the hair, and finally comb the hair from the hair root to the tail.

2, avoid combing hair too fast

If combing the hair too fast, especially when combing with a fine tooth, the hair will be pulled and hurt. If it happens for  a long time, it may cause breakage.

3, Please clean the comb

Many scalp diseases are transmitted by combs. Grease, dust and other dirt remain on the comb. After a long time, it will breed germs and infect the human body by contact with the scalp. Therefore, the handmade wooden comb should be wiped once a week with a wet towel.

4. Combing the scalp is KEY

Combing the hair without actually combing the comb cannot scrap out all the dirt on the hair, and it does not stimulate the blood circulation of the scalp. Correct hair brushing should divide the hair into several parts, such as the top of the head, the forehead, the sides, and then gently comb the scalp from the inside and outside. This is beneficial to transfer the oil secreted by the scalp to the surface of the hair to form a natural moisturizing layer to prevent the hair from drying and splitting. The comb gently strokes across the scalp to stimulate the nerve endings of the scalp, relaxing, relieving fatigue and promoting sleep.

5, DO NOT COMB WHEN HAIR is WET

It is recommended to comb the hair before washing the hair, wash it with a hairdryer or wait until it is naturally dry and then comb.
