How Do I Choose the Right Hair Brush

Some people use plastic hair comb as its cheapness. However, it’s harmful to hair because of its sharp edges, which acts like "knives". Low quality plastic combs often cause split hair.

Some people use wooden combs as they are anti-static. Therefore, one can easily comb their hair without entangling it. It’s pointed out that too much static can hurt the hair profile and make it rougher and brittler.

Moreover, the main purpose of using a comb/brush is to distribute the natural oils evenly across the scalp from root to the end. Thus the right kind of brush can reach your scalp smoothly.
