How to Comb Your Hair
Each and every person has been gifted with the natural crowned jewel, which we all know as hair. Who would have thought that something dead can actually make you look alive if you can set them well. OK, RELAX, just because I mentioned 'dead', don't get a panic attack. The truth is that the hair on our body (head included) is nothing but dead proteins. Proper hair care can enhance the personality of a person to a great extent.
Have people been pestering you your whole life saying mean things about your hair? Well, let's turn the tables on them and show them just how, by combing your hair the right way, you can make a difference. Also, these tips will prove beneficial for those who already have their hair style defined since ages.
Devour the cake piece by piece. What I mean is, work on your hair in parts rather than as a whole. This prevents hair damage and reduces hair loss to a considerable level.
The Right Way of Combing Hair
Step 1: Divide the hair in smaller sections using a rat tail comb. Take one section and clip up the rest so that they do not interfere in your working.
Step 2: Hold the entire section of hair in the center tightly with one hand and start combing the lower layer first. The ends are the most entangled of all therefore time and patience is required on your part to segregate them.
Step 3: Then hold a little higher and comb the section which you were holding with your hand previously. Repeat this step for the whole length of hair.
Step 4: Now, comb from the root of the hair so that its teeth touches the scalp. Take care to avoid sharp-teethed comb and do not apply too much pressure. Apply pressure enough to stimulate the blood circulation.
Repeat the above steps for all the sections of hair, one by one. To make your current haircut prominent, it is very important to know how to comb hair while doing a haircut. At first, you have to untangle your hair by following the above specified guidelines, then, spray hair with water and make sections according to the haircut you will be doing. If you have curly or kinky hair, use a wide-toothed comb to prevent hair from breaking. If your hair has curves that are turned in a specific direction, use a round comb and brush in the direction of the curves. Remove the hair that is stuck in the comb before every brush stroke. Do not use comb to untangle wet hair. Do the job with your fingers after applying some hair care product like a moisturizing hair conditioner. Also, a big misconception is that, combing hair very frequently makes hair beautiful. Let me tell you something, the more you 'tease' your hair, the more 'angry' they will get. Combing your hair too often increases the frizz of the hair and makes them look dull. Combing hair once while going to bed and once before going out of the house is more than enough.
The above instructions will prove beneficial mostly for gals however, guys who like to keep the 60's retro look alive (having long hair), can implement them. Stop parting your hair completely if you are trying to smoothen out tangles from the back of your head. Whenever you wash your hair or are tying it back, pull back your hair and pin it up or apply some hair products like hair gel or hair spray to keep them that way. Throughout the day, if anytime the parting starts showing, finger comb your tresses and keep doing it till your hair gets used to that style. If you want to use hot comb on your hair, you should learn the method from a professional. Else, a small mistake can burn your hair.
People hate and curse their hair just because they look unkempt even after combing their hair. They do not realize that combing hair systematically can actually make them look good. Well-groomed look can actually make you look like a different and confident person.
