Hair combing is more than just a routine; it is a reflection of your personality. While everyone wants to follow the latest trends and fashions, the health of your scalp often depends on how you treat it during your daily grooming. Poor hygiene and improper combing can lead to tangled, dirty hair and even permanent hair loss.
To maintain a healthy, beautiful mane, it’s not just about the oil or shampoo you use—it's about the technique. Here are the essential precautions you should take:
1. Choose Your Tools Wisely
Not all combs are created equal. You must select the right comb based on your hair type (soft, hard, long, or short). Avoid combs with sharp teeth that can scratch the scalp; a good comb should glide easily without causing pain.
2. Never Comb Wet Hair
This is a common mistake! Hair is at its weakest when wet.
The Fix: Dry it gently with a towel first, apply some hair oil, and massage it. Only then should you start combing. This makes the process harmless and much easier.

3. Gentleness is Key
Vigorous combing doesn't make your hair straighter—it just increases hair fall. Always comb gently and avoid combing in the opposite direction of hair growth. Also, be careful with "backward combing" styles, as they can lead to traction baldness.
4. Limit the Frequency
Are you a "pocket comb" addict? Combing too frequently can damage your hair follicles and irritate the scalp. For most people, combing two or three times a day is more than enough.
5. Hygiene and Health
Clean Your Comb: Always wash your comb before and after use. Dirt and old hair trapped in the teeth can cause infections and pain.
No Sharing: Never use someone else's comb! This is the easiest way to spread bacterial infections, fungal issues, and head lice.
6. Dealing with Tangles
Combing tangled hair is painful and causes breakage. Use a good shampoo for cleaning, and once dry, apply oil to make the hair free-flowing before you even touch the comb.
