Baby combs

From the very birth of the baby, young parents need to pay attention to the soft gun on the baby's head. Subsequently, it is no less closely worth taking care of the hair of more adult children. This article will help you choose the right children's combs and not get lost in a huge variety of types and brands.

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

It should be understood that male and female hairs are no different in themselves: the difference in structure is due not to gender, but to heredity. Thus, differences in combs for girls and boys in the early years of their lives do not exist. All brushes for babies should be very soft so as not to irritate delicate skin. They are needed not so much for combing as for head massage, which stimulates the development of skin bulbs.

But for older children, combs may already be different. As a rule, girls wear long hair, so for proper care they should buy several combs: one simple brush, a large scallop for unraveling large tangles and a small scallop for tips. Boys can do with one simple brush, the main thing is that it is comfortable and does not bring discomfort.

This look has either natural pile, or rather soft synthetic bristles that do not injure the epidermis.Use it is for babies who do not yet have hair or they are rare. You can use brushes before the child is three years old and his hair becomes stiffer. Do not try to save on it, because the process of hair care can be even painful.

If the baby's scalp peels off and crusts form on it, then a comb is simply necessary. It is worth combing them very carefully, best after a bath and applying special baby oil, when the skin is as soft as possible. The teeth should not be sharp so as not to scratch the child.

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

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

Probably the most winning option. It is environmentally friendly and does not cause allergies. The objective advantage of wood is that it does not electrify 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, and sandalwood and juniper work as an antiseptic, while birch copes with dandruff.

However, the tree has several disadvantages. Firstly, the teeth of such ridges are quite sharp. Secondly, the tree easily darkens and loses its attractive appearance. Thirdly, such material requires careful care. You need to wash the comb only with cool water, as the wood swells due to hot water. Then it needs to be dried, otherwise microbes can be planted there.

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

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

This is an excellent material for babies - it is soft and does not contain toxic dyes. But you need to remember that a 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 will not be able to comb them. For oily hair, it will also be ineffective, because it will only carry fat along its entire length.

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

• Chicco set. Popular and high-quality combs. The kit includes a brush with natural, soft bristles and a plastic scallop with small balls at the end. The price usually varies from 600 to 800 rubles.
• NUK combs. The complete set is the same as in the last paragraph: brush and comb. However, the appearance is more attractive and ergonomic - they are convenient to hold. There are several colors: yellow, blue, red and green.
• Cute set of "Kurnosiki". A pair of combs are made in the shape of animals. They will easily help you make a fun game out of the combing ritual. The price pleases - only about 150 rubles.
• Baby Nova is also a two-piece set. Here are just the materials in it are artificial: plastic and synthetics. There are no balls at the ends of the ridge, but they are rounded enough so that the child does not get hurt.
• Faberlic Yes, this popular brand also produces children's combs! Such a brush is suitable for older children. It is bright: multi-colored bristles will amuse the child and instill a love of self-care.
• Winx comb by Vitek. An ionizer is built into it, which, according to the manufacturers, will preserve the health of the hair. But the effectiveness of the properties has not yet been studied, so still you should not experiment on the child.

The comb selection process can be difficult even for adults, not to mention a child. The two decisive factors are the length and structure of the hair.

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

If your hair is sparse and grow slowly, then a massage brush will do.. Bristles should be mixed, as this will provide maximum blood flow to the head and stimulate hair growth.

For curls, use a rare comb, so that the strands continue to curl gently, and if you want to straighten them a little, use a brush with frequent cloves - it will help to straighten.

Excess hair needs to be removed immediately to comb the comb, also combs 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 so simple - it must never be soaked, otherwise the tree will soften! It is best to just rinse and leave to dry.

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