Combing hair is the process of using a comb or brush to detangle and smooth the strands of hair. This activity helps to remove knots, distribute natural oils from the scalp, and can make hair look neater and more polished. Combing is often done after washing hair or when it feels tangled. There are different types of combs and brushes designed for various hair types, such as fine, thick, or curly hair. Regular combing can also promote scalp health by stimulating blood circulation. It is generally recommended to start from the ends and work up to avoid breakage.
