The Absolute Guide to Hair Combs
Sometimes, we have lots of hair combs and we don't really know what each one is for. Its correct use
is very important because that depends on the detangling of our hair without the comb pulling, curling
or breaking our hair.
The bristles of the comb vary according to the utility and their thickness changes according to
the hair to be combed : the thin ones serve to separate strands of hair during the cut or comb , while
the wide and separated ones work to detangle the wet hairs and help to maintain the natural curl of
hair fibers. For more tips go here and find additional info.
