Dermatologists from Israel have come to the conclusion that combing your hair too often is harmful. The researchers have made an experiment. They chose 14 women and asked them to collect hair that fall for one month. They also asked them to count how many time per day they comb their hair. It turned out that combing your hair increases your daily hair loss for 3 times.
Previously it was thought that hair must be combed not only for aesthetic reasons but also to improve the condition of their roots. Hair specialists were also claiming that while combing we remove dust and dirt particles and distribute all the grease equally over the entire length of your hair. However, a new research says that this also cause hair loss.
