Hairbrush for newborns

With the birth of a baby, new parents appear a lot of trouble. Mom is waiting for all 9 months, when it will be possible to start discovering a new world. Diapers, oils, powders, bottles and nipples are a lot of things that parents need to choose. Often in this heap a comb for newborns takes far from the main position. But it is necessary to approach her choice no less responsibly.

Of course, babies are often born with no hair at all or with a light down.

But this does not mean that you will not need to comb them in the near future.

• With the help of special children's brushes, mother can make the baby a head massage. It improves skin blood circulation and stimulates hair follicles. Thanks to this massage, the growth of the baby’s first hair is accelerated.
• Even a rare and soft down can get confused. Especially with the advent of activity, when the baby starts to turn his head. Special scallops will help to unravel even the most complex nodules and not to injure the hair and scalp.
• Some children are already born, and some for the first year, when a “milky” crust forms on the head. The reasons for her education are many. From hormonal to allergic reactions. To remove it, use special combs.

A comb for a newborn is not just a mom's whim. This is really the right accessory, without which it is impossible to do. Baby care items are usually made from natural materials. This will not only unravel the hair of the child, but also get rid of their excessive electrification. This is especially true for those crumbs who spin a lot while lying down. Indeed, in this case, the hair can be electrified from friction, which will bring discomfort to both mother and baby.

The use of special materials also contributes to the preservation of the hair. After all, the fluff on the head of babies is very soft, thin and fragile. Combing with high-quality scallops promotes baby's hair growth, but it does not hurt them.

Regular combing and washing the baby’s head with shampoo no more than 1 time per week helps to reduce the formation of crusts. Well, if the crust appeared, then with the help of the comb you can easily get rid of them. Beforehand, the head must be oiled and let the child lie for 15-20 minutes. Then the crusts will soften and move away more easily. With the help of a comb with frequent teeth, it will be possible to comb the stuck pieces of crusts out of the hair.

For babies under one year, only 2 types of combs are required:

• Brush with soft bristles - designed mainly for head massage. Although combing a gentle childish fluff, it is also very good. At the same time, soft bristles do not injure the skin.
• Scallop - designed for combing and disentangling hair. But one more of its purpose is the combing of milk crusts. Special baby scallops are usually with short but frequent teeth, with small balls at the ends.

After a year, when the crumbs hairstyle becomes more thick and strong, you can add more accessories such as:

• Baby massage brush. They come in different shapes and sizes. It is necessary to select depending on the thickness and length of the hair. This accessory is especially useful for guys with curly hair. After all, such hair are confused and combing them is quite difficult. Massage brush will avoid discomfort when combing.
• Comb is most suitable for disentangling nodules on the tips of the hair. It is also good to use it for babies with sparse and short hair.

In addition, different materials and comb.

Of course, for children it is most preferable to buy items from natural materials.

• Wood - reduces the electrification of the hair, does not injure the hair. And some types of wood have unique properties. For example, juniper or sandalwood are excellent antiseptics, and birch helps to get rid of dandruff. There is a tree and cons, it is quite picky in the care. When washing it absorbs water and soap. And in too dry an environment can crack and crack.
• Natural bristles - the least traumatic, removes static electricity from the hair. Natural bristles are very soft and suitable for very tiny babies. For older kids and children with lush and curly hair, this brush will not work. Like any natural material requires careful maintenance.

But combs made of synthetic materials are now not much less natural in their properties. And in some moments even surpass them.

At the price such accessories are usually much more affordable.

• Combs made of plastic - easy to clean, do not require any special storage conditions, inexpensive. But for constant use, such combs are not suitable. They can injure the hair and the bulb.
• Metal combs - now they can be found mainly as a souvenir. Use such combs in everyday life is not worth it. They can only harm the child's hair.
• Brushes with synthetic bristles - easy to clean, the most durable and affordable. The only negative - the hair after them can be very electrified.
