    The choice of a comb is not less, and perhaps even more important than, say, the choice of shoes. Therefore, choose a comb carefully. Ideally, combs should be several: for

    daily care( combing), for massage( massage comb), several types of combs for styling. When buying a comb, you should pay attention to the quality, material and shape of the product.

    Quality. A good comb should not damage the hair and scratch the skin. Do not buy plastic combs with a seam in the center of each tooth - these combs remove keratin layer by layer from the hair, which causes the hair to become dim weak. Avoid also combs with sharp prongs - they are too traumatic for the skin. The most sparing comb is a comb with rounded teeth or one whose teeth have ballpoints: they massage the skin gently, without damaging it. Such a hairbrush does not tear and does not break hair. If the balls are made of the same material as the comb itself, and have the same color as the comb teeth, you made a good choice: this

    comb will last long. And one more nuance: in the massage brush the pillow should be soft. In this case, when combing, the pad will where it should be deflated, the brush itself will repeat the shape of your head and minimally injure the skin. A brush that does not have such a pad, more aggressively affects the scalp and hair.

    Material. The most ancient material for combs is a bone. As the excavations have shown, even in the Stone Age, people learned to make crests from the cow's horn. Currently, elite hairbrushes made of ivory or tortoise shell are produced. It is clear that the natural material for hair - it's good, but the price of such a comb, to put it mildly, is quite high.

    Wooden combs have a special healing power, as it is believed that the life and heat of the tree is transferred to the comb( this does not apply to wooden combs covered with varnish or paint).The action of a wooden comb is influenced by the type of tree from which it is made. For example, after oak combs, hair is not electrified, and birch is well combed after applying masks and balms - they activate the effect of nutrients from these preparations. With regular use of wooden combs, hair grows faster.

    Ebonitic combs( hard rubber combs), as well as combs made of high-quality plastic alloy and beech wood chips, remove static electricity and make hair shiny. Suitable for all types of hair.

    Carbon hairbrush with ceramic spraying is the most practical. She is not afraid of dust and dirt. At the same time, after combing such a comb, the hair becomes smooth,

    as silk.

    Silicone comb is the most durable. Its advantages over others: it does not confuse hair, does not pull strands, perfectly combs fine hair with a humbuck.

    Plastic combs - better to refuse from their application. Care for plastic combs is complicated: they get dirty quickly, dust, grease, dirt immediately adhere to them. After using plastic combs, the hair is split and electrified. It's also bad that, when in contact with the hot spray of a hair dryer, the plastic heats up and emits harmful substances.

    Metal combs remove static electricity, that is, after them the hair is not electrified. However, metal combs are harmful to the hair, especially if the teeth on the comb are obliquely scooped. Combs of this type gradually disappear from everyday life, but they can still be found in many hairdressing salons.

    Shape. For combing long hair you need a flat comb with long, rare teeth, and the thicker the hair, the less often the teeth should be located( No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4).

    For thick hair, for hair after a perm, for combing wet hair, you need to purchase a flat comb with a handle, where the width of the teeth is 3-4 mm, and the distance between them is 6-7 mm( No. 1).

    Brush for thick and / or long hair should be with rare teeth( No. 5).

    For combing thin and weak hair, a medium-sized wooden comb( No. 8) and rare. It is better not to use brushes. In extreme cases, the owners of weakened hair can use a soft brush. For short haircuts you need a brush with frequent teeth( No. 6).However, with oily hair of any length, the use of the brush should be kept to a minimum.

    So that you can always put yourself in order, men are recommended to carry a small comb with women, and women - a folding version of the comb - most often it is sold with a mirror( № 7).

    For round hair use round brushes with natural or plastic bristles - brashingi( № 13, № 14, № 15, № 16).Brashingi with a large diameter are used to make the volume( No. 15), with small and medium - to create a volume at the roots, to model the hairstyle, bangs( No. 13, No. 14, No. 16).

    If such brushes have a metal base( No. 14), then this enhances the curling effect, since the metal heats up when it comes into contact with the hot air of the hair dryer and the comb, in a sense, repeats the curling in some sense. Brushes with a thick natural bristle are used to smooth the hair, while the bristles may be shorter than the main teeth( No. 18).Breathable wireframe( skeletal) combs are used when laying hair with a hairdryer;the longer the hair, the wider and larger the brush should be( No. 17).Comb with a long handle and sufficiently frequent teeth( No. 10) - for the separation of hair strands and napes - can be used for hair coloring. A comb with a comb on one end and a fork on the other( No. 9) is an economical option. With a fork it is possible to lift and divide curls, and also to distribute the hair conditioner. Comb comb( No. 11) - on one side the teeth are often located, on the other - rarely - it is used for several purposes: for nap and tupirovaniya and just for combing hair.

    To ensure that you can see your hair at the back of your neck, you can use the mirror on the handle( No. 12) - in practice it is very convenient.
