The Importance of Hair Combing: How to Do It Properly for Healthy, Shiny Hair

Do you know how important brushing your hair really is? Brushing or combing your hair isn’t just about detangling it's an essential step to promote hair health, shine, and growth. At Malliya, we believe that the right tools make all the difference. In this blog, we’ll show you the best techniques for combing your hair properly and explain why using the right comb matters.

1. Hair Health & Shine

Brushing your hair helps distribute natural oils from your scalp down to the tips of your hair. These oils nourish your hair, giving it a healthy shine and reducing the appearance of dryness. According to celebrity hairstylist Vincent De Marco, brushing is the key to promoting hair health and achieving that glossy finish we all desire.

2. Scalp Stimulation for Hair Growth

Did you know that combing your hair gently can stimulate your scalp? The act of brushing your scalp encourages blood circulation, which, in turn, helps promote hair growth. Brushing is like giving yourself a mini massage, encouraging healthier follicles and stronger strands.

3. Removing Loose Hair

It’s completely normal to shed hair every day—around 50 to 100 strands. Brushing your hair regularly helps remove this loose hair, preventing it from accumulating and potentially causing tangles. A well-timed combing session helps keep your hair smooth and tangle-free.

4. Combing Wet Hair

When your hair is wet, it's in a more fragile state, which makes it prone to damage. Experts recommend using a wide-tooth comb, like The OG Comb in Blonde Tortoise, to gently detangle wet hair. Start at the ends, working your way up, and use a leave-in conditioner or detangler to reduce resistance. Malliya’s combs are designed with round-tip teeth that help prevent snagging and breakage, making them perfect for wet or dry hair.

5. Brushing Dry Hair

Brushing dry hair requires a more delicate approach. Start brushing from the mid-lengths to the ends to avoid breakage. Working your way from the ends to the roots helps prevent knots and tangles. The Malliya Premium C Comb offers a sturdy and smooth glide, making it ideal for detangling dry hair.
