An ordinary comb can become a real threat to your health.

The reason is that we often forget to wash this item.

Let's figure out what kind of care your comb actually needs.

How to care for a comb

When we comb our hair, not only hair but also skin particles from the scalp inevitably remain on the comb.

These conditions are considered ideal for the development of bacteria and mold, which can eventually lead to dandruff and hair loss.

That is why it is necessary to clean the comb after each use. The type of care depends on the material it is made of.

Plastic or ceramic products are washed with warm water and liquid soap once a month.

And if you use a comb with a rubber pad, then it is better to disassemble it so that moisture does not stagnate inside the product. If the product cannot be disassembled, then it must be treated with disinfectants.
