How To Comb Your Hair:
Here is a list of 5 Important tips and tricks for how to comb hair properly are as follows.
- When you start with combing your hair, make sure you have the tangles sorted out first. If you try to comb your hair scalp down with tangles, not only will you end up losing a lot of hair but also will experience pain and difficulty.
- Always start from the end. Separate your hair from the middle and gather one side with your hand. With a brush or comb start lightly combing through the lower layers. Don’t hesitate to use your hand if the tough tangles don’t listen to the combs.
- Slowly work your way up to the middle only after the lower ends have been sorted out. The last section is the scalp. If you have your hair parted in the middle, follow the hair line and comb sideways.
- Once you have combed the two sides down, use a partition comb to part the hair to your desired parting. You can even try the flip and sweep method where the hair is combed backwards and then making a suitable partition, the front locks and flicked to the side and swept. This gives a more defined and volume filled look.
- Always avoid combing wet hair. If you have wet hair and combing is necessary please follow the upper rules where you comb the lower ends and move up. In case of wet hair tangles, use water force to detangle your hair. Then dry it before combing.
