You’ve been combing your hair the wrong way all this time; here’s the right way to do it

When all of us were younger, we all wanted to be Rapunzel. That naive innocent beauty with mesmerising eyes and luscious long hair. She won over the World with her stunning locks and here we are trying to hold on to every strand that’s left on our head. 

Hairfall and hair loss has become an extremely important issue. More and more people from ages across are complaining about losing good quality hair and only being left with dry and frizzy mane. However, what many forget is that the condition of your hair depends mainly on how you treat it. Combing your hair is an essential part of keeping your hair healthy but are you combing your hair the right way? 

Most of us don’t even know if we are brushing our hair the right way. While there are a lot of myths floating around, combing your hair too harshly or softly does affect your hair regimen. 

Does combining your hair regularly really help your hair?

1. The answer to this is, Yes. Combing your hair regularly massages your hair and helps in blood circulation. The increased circulation further on brings in oxygen which makes the hair healthy. 

2. Brushing your hair regularly also helps in secreting ‘sebum’ which is scalp’s natural oil. This helps in keeping the hair healthy and nourished. 

3. Not just that it also acts as a great conditioner. So when you brush them regularly, the conditioner overlaps all over the hair making your hair look healthy. 

4. Most importantly, it prevents the hair from tangling. We all know the struggle with tangled hair. Combing regularly helps in less breakage and shiny looking hair. 

So how many times should we brush our hair and how should we do it?

You should comb your hair as often as possible. However, do not over-brush your hair. Anything between 20-50 strokes is good enough for your hair in the whole day. If you over-brush or comb your hair too hard then there are chances that you might scratch your scalp. If your hair is dry then make sure you’re using few drops of hair serum or argan oil. 

Listed below are some quick tips to make sure you know all about combing your hair correctly. 

1. Always use a wooden hairbrush. Its softer on your hair, no static discharges and is way safer than the plastic alternative. 

2. Opt for a wide tooth brush as it helps in detangling the hair and also provides better circulation. 

3. Its a myth that you cannot comb when your hair is wet. There's absolutely no harm in it.

4. Make sure that you don't comb on dry hair. Always use a few drops of argan oil on your hair and then comb your hair.
