Attention should be paid to the kind of hair brushes and combs you use.

Personally, i have always felt that it is better to use a comb, instead of a brush. There is less hair breakage when combs are used. If there is a hair problem, like dryness, split ends, brittleness or hair loss, stop using a brush.

** Even where combs are concerned, plastic combs have sharp-edged teeth and this can damage or break the hair.

** Choose a wide toothed comb made of hard rubber, horn, tortoise shell, or even wood.

** If you must use a brush, plastic bristled brushes, or one with wire bristles are out.

** Look for a brush with natural bristles. This would cause the least damage.

Keep your combs and brushes scrupulously clean

Set aside one day in the week for cleaning them. In a mug of the hot water, add a little soap ,or shampoo, one of two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda and a little antiseptic solution. Let your combs and brushes soak in this solution for 15 minutes. Use an old toothbrush to scrub them, if necessary. Then rinse them out well with plain water.
