Many of us only have a rat tail comb that we use to comb our hair everyday. We would take it everywhere and we would always comb and comb and comb...Yet you would wonder, Why does my hair keeps breaking? Well, the answer to your question is that bloody rat tail comb. Before you toss it in the nearest trash can remember that it have its purpose but it is surely not to comb your hair. Do not be ashamed! I too didn't know better. How can a rat tail comb possibly break your hair? Well, when you comb you enter head of hair all that hair strands are forced between the tightly spaced teeth which forces the hair to snag and snap because of the pressure applied. To address the problem is quite simply get a "wide" teeth comb.
How to use the following:
Rat tail comb- It can be used for smoothing "small" sections of hair to ensure smooth straight from a roller set. The tail of the comb can be used for easy section or parting of the hair especially when your new growth starts coming in.
Wide tooth/Rake comb- can be used to comb the entire head of hair and to detangle.
Another offence we are guilty of is "detangling" our hair from root to end. Just stop! Put the comb down! That too cause breakage, excessive shedding and more tangles. The best way to detangle your hair is to start from the ends and gently work your way up using a "wide" teeth comb. You're now free to take up your comb.
