Comb Choice Matters
Selecting the right comb is the first step. A wide-tooth comb, like the ones your grandmother probably used, is your best bet. This helps detangle gently,
preventing breakage and pulling, especially on those beautiful, thick Indian locks.
Gentle Detangling First
Before you even think about combing, detangle! Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently remove knots. Start from the ends and work your way up, just like resolving family disputes from the younger generation to the elders. This avoids painful tugs.
Slow and Steady Wins
Take your time while combing. Quick, aggressive strokes are a major no-no! Treat this process as a moment of self-care, a chance to unwind. Imagine it as a peaceful evening chai break. Combing slowly minimizes breakage and encourages healthy hair.
Keep it Clean
Just like you clean your puja thali, keep your comb clean too! Regularly wash it with soap and water to remove oil, product buildup, and any unwanted guests. A clean comb promotes healthy hair and scalp, and hygiene is always important, isn't it?
Brush vs. Comb
While brushes have their uses, over-reliance on them can lead to hair fall. Brushes can be too harsh. The comb is gentler for everyday use, detangling with care. Save the brush for special occasions, like weddings, or for styling specific looks.
