HOW TO BRUSH YOUR HAIR THE RIGHT WAY.
Do combing several times help?
Yes, combing serves a similar function as massaging and helps to keep your scalp and hair in good health.
Here is how:
Combing stimulates the scalp and helps increase blood flow. The increased circulation brings with it more oxygen and nutrients, which nourishes the hair roots and promote hair growth.
Combing also activates the sebaceous gland, which produces sebum (scalp’s natural oil). Along with keeping the scalp and hair moisturized, sebum coats the scalp surface and work to create the right pH balance which is very important for healthy hair.
