A natural horn comb?

The ox horn comb is actually a comb made of ox horn as a raw material. If it is a better ox horn comb, it will not only feel as smooth as jade, but also be particularly thick and feel good. It can also prevent static electricity. Combing your hair with an ox horn comb is very beneficial to your health. The ox horn comb also has the effect of promoting blood circulation in the head and can relieve fatigue.

There are good and bad horn combs on the market, and I don’t know how to identify the authenticity and quality of horn combs. In fact, the most fundamental difference between the real and the fake is: a real ox horn comb has a natural curvature, and will not generate static electricity. When heated (burned), it will have a horn smell, which is like the smell of burnt feathers or hair. It feels heavier than plastic and generally has slight blood color and lines. Fake ox horn combs do not have the above characteristics. As for the quality of natural horn combs, it mainly depends on the raw materials, workmanship, thickness, glossiness and processing precision. Generally speaking, low-quality horn combs feel bad, lack luster, are dull in color, have cracks, and easily break teeth. Horn combs are natural products and will have unique flaws. Moreover, most natural horn combs are hand-polished. Therefore, each natural horn comb must be unique in the world.

First, smell the horn, you can smell a fishy smell. If you can't smell it, soak it in hot water. A real horn comb will have a smell.

The simplest and most effective identification method is: use a knife to scrape some debris off the comb, then put them on the knife and use a lighter to burn them. When they are burnt and you smell the smell of burnt feathers or burnt hair, it means it is real; if you smell the smell of burnt plastic, it is fake.

Just like how to identify the authenticity of the new version of the hundred-yuan bill, no matter how many methods are introduced, we are helpless and have to rely on the banknote detector in the end. Only by seeing and touching it more can we truly master the method. What's more, there are many ways to fake a horn comb, such as burning it, smelling it, etc., and it does not work for every fake method.

One end of the comb can be used to clear the meridians of the head by scraping, while the other end is concave and can be used to press the corresponding acupoints on the head. The comb-shaped scraping board is used to scrape the active cerebral cortex of the head, press the Baihui point and the Si Shencong point, increase memory and thinking ability, help relieve restlessness and anxiety, and at the same time stimulate hair follicles, reduce hair loss, stimulate hair regeneration, and make gray hair turn black, which has the effect of hair care.

Usage and Maintenance

Use of horn comb: Horn comb is made of ox horn, which has been a kind of traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times. Combing your hair with a horn comb can remove dirt without getting stuck, relieve itching without pain, and moisturize without tangling hair. It also accelerates blood circulation in the scalp, enhances immunity, clears inflammation and cools blood, relieves pain and itching, prevents static electricity, prevents hair loss, removes dandruff and protects hair, relaxes muscles and activates blood circulation, calms the nerves and strengthens the brain, and promotes hair growth, among other unique health benefits. As the saying goes, "Combing your hair a thousand times will never turn it white." Use a horn comb every morning and evening, gently comb and scrape your scalp from front to back and then from back to front several times. Apply force evenly and comb your hair with a horn comb all year round. This can dredge the meridians and promote blood circulation in the head, preventing malnutrition of the hair that leads to white hair, yellow hair and hair loss.

In fact, there are still many uses that need to be practiced and studied.

Horn comb maintenance: Ox horns are brittle and should not be dropped, so be sure to protect them! have

The horn comb will bend or deform to varying degrees. This is because the horn comb is afraid of moisture. If it is kept in a humid or watery environment for a long time, it will bend and deform. In severe cases, cracks may appear. Therefore, please make sure to dry your hair in time after combing it, and place it in a dry and ventilated place. Be especially careful not to place in hot water. (If it smells like horns when heated, put it in cold water to cool down.)

Repair: If there is any bend, you can put it over the fire to roast it, and then press it with a suitable weight for a period of time to restore it.
