• Combing/brushing should be done with the greatest of care. If you comb/brush your hair without any care, you can cause damage to your hair.

• Combing or brushing hair in the opposite direction of the natural pattern of growth should be avoided. This will cause hair falling.

• Frequent combing/brushing can damage the hair follicles and the scalp. Combing or brushing your hair 2 or 3 times per day is sufficient.
• The tooth of the comb/brush must not be sharp. The comb/brush should not be pressed too tightly on the scalp while combing or brushing.
• Clean the comb/brush before and after use in order to prevent hair and dirt from being deposited in the gaps. Combing or brushing hair with a dirty comb/brush can be difficult and painful.
• Do not use other people’s combs or brushes. This will prevent the spread of fungal and bacterial infections.
