Healthy Hair, Happy You: The Benefits of Using a Wide Tooth Comb

Hair combs have been used for thousands of years, and there’s a good reason why. Historically, the hair comb is a tool with a variety of essential features from styling to decoration, and most importantly hygiene. Our stylish and practical wide-tooth combs are no exception.They are the perfect tool to add to your arsenal if you’re looking for hair that is shiny, healthy, and strong. 

What the XXL & Co. Hair Comb Can Do For You:

Reduce Breakage and Minimize Frizz:

Our combs have perfectly spaced teeth that limit the friction on your hair. Less friction reduces the breakage and split ends caused by brushing with a regular hairbrush. The smooth construction of our wide-tooth combs allows them to slide through your hair without resistance, which minimizes frizz and flyaways. Additionally, the reduced friction and resistance limit the amount of unwanted hair fall that results from roughly pulling on the strands. Using a wide-toothed comb allows you to leave your hair exactly where it should be until it’s ready to fall out naturally. Using a wide-tooth comb is gentle on your hair for lasting shine and overall hair health. 

Detangle and Style:

The adequate space between teeth makes it easy to separate hair strands and gently detangle knots (even the XXL kind). Starting from the ends of your hair and working your way up to the scalp will help prevent large knots and the risk of causing more damage to your hair. Once your locks are detangled, you can use the comb to style your hair. Separate curls without disrupting their shape, create sections for cute braids or part your hair perfectly. Use the teeth of the comb to craft a side, middle or zigzag part with precision!

Scalp stimulation and hydration:

These XXL & Co. hair combs have many gently rounded teeth. When you brush your hair, the contact with your scalp will increase blood circulation, which can help to strengthen the hair follicle and stimulate hair growth. The rounded teeth are gentle on your scalp while still massaging and stimulating blood flow and are less likely to irritate a flakey or sensitive scalp. These combs are also able to distribute your natural hair oils evenly to the entire hair strand resulting in less oil buildup near your scalp while also hydrating your hair by using the hair oil you naturally produce. 

Are they worth the hype?

YES! There are many benefits to using a wide tooth hair comb. Whether you’re looking to reduce breakage and frizz, promote hair growth and strength, or save time and money, a wide-tooth comb can be a great addition to your hair care routine.
