Baby combs

Since the birth of the baby, young parents need to pay attention to the soft gun on the head of the child. Subsequently, it is no less intent to look after the hair of older children. This article will help you choose suitable baby combs and not get lost in a huge variety of types and brands.

Any parents care about the health of their children, including the condition of the hair and scalp. It is important not to damage the delicate epidermis of the baby and take care of the hypoallergenic materials, so as not to cause a negative reaction of the young body.

It should be understood that in themselves male and female hair is no different: the difference in the structure is not due to sex, but heredity. Thus, differences in the comb for girls and boys in the first years of their life does not exist. All baby brushes should be very soft so as not to irritate delicate skin. They are needed not so much for combing as for massage of the head, which stimulates the development of skin bulbs.

But for older children combs may already be different. As a rule, girls have long hair, so for the full care they should buy a few combs: one simple brush, a large comb for disentangling large mats and a small comb for the tips. Boys can do with a simple brush, as long as it is comfortable and does not bring discomfort.

This type has either a natural bristle, or a rather soft synthetic bristle that does not traumatize the epidermis. Use it for kids who have no hair or they are rare. You can use brushes before the child turns three years old and his hair will become more rigid. You should not try to save on it, because the process of hair care can even be painful.

If the baby’s scalp flakes off and crusts form on it, the comb is simply necessary. It is necessary to comb them very carefully, preferably after a bath and applying special baby oil, when the skin is softened to the maximum. Dental teeth should not be sharp, so as not to scratch the child.

It should be understood that such a comb is necessary not for hair care, but for massage. It stimulates the growth of bulbs to grow, improving blood circulation.

Many combs for children are made from low-quality materials, and this can cause great harm to your baby.

Probably the most winning option. It is eco-friendly and does not cause allergies. Objective advantage of the tree is that it does not electrify the hair. In addition, it does not violate the natural structure of the hair, preventing the formation of split ends. Some wood species have simply amazing properties, for example, oak combs help relieve statistical stress, while sandalwood and juniper work as an antiseptic, while birch does an excellent job with dandruff.

However, the tree has several drawbacks. First, the teeth of such ridges are quite sharp. Secondly, the tree darkens easily and loses its attractive appearance.Thirdly, such material requires careful maintenance. It is only necessary to wash the comb with cool water, as the wood swells due to the hot water. Then it needs to be dried, otherwise microbes can start there.

It is very easy to care for such scallops, they are not subject to external aggressive influences. Because of this, their service life is much longer than that of wooden ones. However, such combs can damage hair and electrify them.

These combs are certainly very beautiful and interesting. But this material is the most inappropriate for children. First of all, the metal spoils the hair. Such combs are traumatic - children can hurt themselves, especially if they use it on their own.

This is a great material for babies - it is soft and does not contain toxic dyes. But we must remember that the child may begin to be allergic to him. Parents of children with thick curly hair should also think about other types, as the bristles simply cannot comb them. For oily hair, it will also be ineffective, because it will only spread the fat along the entire length.

Artificial bristles: a classic and very convenient option. Hygienic, does not cause allergies. Usually they have small round bumps on the ends - so the bristles do not injure the scalp.

• Winx comb from Vitek. The ionizer which, according to producers, will keep health of hair is built in it. But the effectiveness of the properties has not yet been studied, so it’s still not worth experimenting with a child.

The process of choosing a comb can be complicated even for adults, not to mention a child. Two decisive factors will be the length and structure of the hair.

Long and thin hair tangles easily, so they need a special approach. Brushes with soft teeth, slightly different lengths easily slide through the hair, untangling the strands.

If the hair is sparse and slowly grows, then a massage brush will do.. The bristles should choose mixed, so it will ensure maximum blood flow to the head and stimulate hair growth.

For curls, use a rare comb, to keep the strands gently curled, and if you want to straighten them a little, use a brush with frequent teeth - it will help straighten.

Excess hair should be removed immediately combing the comb, also need to be washed. With plastic everything is quite simple: you need to soak for ten minutes in warm water. With a tree, everything is far from being so simple - in no case can it be soaked, otherwise the tree will soften! It is best to just rinse and leave to dry.

To cope with the bristles, it is synthetic or natural, too difficult - to rinse will not work.Prepare a special tool: in one liter of warm water, stir 5-10 milliliters of baby shampoo and one tablespoon of vinegar (it works as an antiseptic). Leave the brush for 10 minutes, then rinse. Pay special attention to drying: otherwise the comb can cause bacteria that can harm the delicate scalp.
