The dangers of using dirty combs

If you are using the same comb all year round without cleaning it, it is very dangerous.

We use combs every day to keep our hair neat and clean. However, dead hair, residual hair products, dead skin cells, and dust can cause combs to become the culprits that destroy your health.

Even though you spend a lot of time and money on hair care, it may all be in vain if you are using a dirty comb.

The buildup of bacteria and yeast on your comb can leave your hair dirty again right after you wash it. It can even lead to infection.

Experts recommend removing dead hair clumps and cleaning your combs weekly to ensure hygiene. For plastic combs, you should use a bowl of warm water mixed with soap or mild detergent to clean.

You should avoid using strong detergents on wooden combs as they can damage them. After cleaning, dry them immediately with a hair dryer. To clean smart combs or combs with more complex structures, you should refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
