We do a lot of things to keep our hair healthy. From shampoo and conditioner to various hair treatments, we tend to do everything to achieve ultimate hair and scalp health. Little do we know that sometimes the simplest habits like combing hair can take the health of our hair a notch higher. Yes, you read it right!
Combing hair regularly plays a significant role in maintaining the health, strength, and shine of our hair. On top of it, it also benefits scalp health. Allow us to help you understand why combing your hair regularly can be a game changer for your hair health.
1. Distribute natural oils
First things first, distributing your scalp’s natural oils through your hair can be easily done by combing your hair. It is beneficial to enhance the natural shine, prevent dryness, promote scalp health, and add hydration. It ultimately leads to a shinier and healthier appearance. However, it is imperative to choose the best comb.
For instance, you can use Dressing Comb from Vega’s range of Handcrafted Combs made from cellulose acetate which creates less static charge in hair due to its non-petroleum-based material, derived from natural plants. It is gentle on the scalp and ideal for every skin type including sensitive ones.
2. Massage the scalp
Combs that are made with rounded teeth like Vega Handcrafted Combs deliver a massaging experience that is soothing to the scalp. It also promotes blood circulation and thus helps to nourish hair follicles with the essential nutrients required for healthy hair and scalp.
3. Detangles hair knots pain-free
Use the wide-tooth comb to keep your knotty hair woes at bay. It helps to detangle hair without tugging and pulling while also delivering a gentle hair-combing experience. We recommend using Wide Tooth Wooden Comb by Vega to detangle your hair. The wooden teeth have rounded tips that have a gentle massaging effect on your scalp. This massaging effect stimulates natural oils in your hair cuticles which create natural volume and luster. It reduces hair breakage as well.
4. Reduces scalp buildup
Dirt, dust, dead skin cells, product residue, and other environmental factors deposited on your scalp can result in hair loss, hair breakage, and impact hair growth. However, if you comb your hair regularly, it helps to reduce product buildup and keep your scalp clean and clear. This will keep the debris potentially affecting your hair health at bay while also stimulating hair growth.
