Choose the right bristles: Rounded, flexible bristles are better suited for sensitive scalps; sharp or overly rigid tips can easily scratch the scalp, potentially leading to infection or inflammation.
Keep it clean and dry: Oil, dandruff, and dust trapped between the bristles can harbor bacteria. Clean the comb regularly after use-rinsing with warm water and allowing it to air-dry completely is recommended.
Distinguish between wet and dry use: Dry scalp massages can be performed at any time for 5–10 minutes by slowly combing from the hairline toward the back of the head. When hair is wet, the cuticle swells slightly and the area around the hair follicles becomes more fragile; therefore, use a gentler touch to avoid excessive pulling and hair breakage.
Exercise caution with sensitive scalps: If you have scalp abrasions, folliculitis, severe seborrheic dermatitis, sunburn, or an allergic reaction, stop using the comb to avoid aggravating irritation or spreading opportunistic infections.
It cannot replace medical treatment for underlying causes: Hair loss is linked to factors such as genetics, hormones, and the immune system. Relying solely on a massage comb cannot reverse the process of hair follicle atrophy; consult a specialist if you experience persistent, abnormal hair loss or scalp issues.
