What are the techniques for combing hair

There are many nerve meridian networks distributed on the scalp. Many people also understand that clever hair combing methods can dredge the meridians in our body, which can not only relieve the fatigue of our brain, but also have a good effect on relieving symptoms such as headaches and insomnia. However, these require us to master better knowledge of Chinese medicine meridians, and we should also consider the strength and method when combing our hair.

When combing your hair, you must master the correct combing method. The method and strength should be moderate, and the entire head should be combed, taking into account every part of the scalp. The comb teeth must act on the scalp, and every part must be combed repeatedly. The force should not be too light or too heavy. If it is too light, it will not have the massage effect, and if it is too heavy, it will scratch the scalp. Use moderate pressure until your scalp feels slightly warm. If you have dry hair, you can use more force when combing. If you have oily hair, use less force, otherwise it will stimulate the sebaceous glands to increase secretion.

When combing your hair, follow the direction of hair growth, starting from the top and sides, combing from the hairline on the forehead to the hair roots at the back of the neck. Repeat each part several times until you feel comfortable. You also need to be flexible about the time you spend combing your hair. For those who work from 9 to 5, 5 minutes each in the morning and evening is a good time. Of course, it would be better if you can stick to it for the rest of the time. But avoid combing your hair after a full meal, as this will affect the spleen and stomach functions. Wet hair should not be combed excessively. Many people think that wet hair is easier to comb, but they don’t know that water will loosen the protein structure of the hair, making the hair more brittle than usual. At this time, if you comb your hair vigorously, it will cause serious damage to the hair and hair follicles.

There is another point that everyone needs to pay attention to, that is the rhythm of combing your hair. The rhythm should be kept at a constant speed, from light to heavy, from slow to fast, so as to better stimulate the acupoints and meridians. It can achieve the purpose of unblocking blood vessels and promoting blood circulation. When combing your hair, you may wish to combine it with some finger massage methods, so that the effect of stimulating acupoints can be more obvious.
