How to maintain a horn comb

In our daily life, we often see many people using ox horn combs when combing their hair. Ox horn combs are made of natural materials and need to be polished before they can be made. Combing your hair with an ox horn comb has many benefits to the human body. It can not only promote blood circulation, but also enhance the body's resistance. However, although the ox horn comb has many benefits, it is easy to break. How to maintain it is what everyone is most concerned about.

How to maintain a horn comb?

Cow horns are brittle, so avoid dropping them. Moreover, the horn comb is afraid of moisture. If it is kept in a humid or water environment for a long time, it will bend and deform, and in serious cases, cracks may appear. Therefore, be sure to dry it in time after combing wet hair, and place it in a dry and ventilated place. Be especially careful not to place in hot water. If the horn comb is bent or deformed, you can soften it with an electric iron or heat it over a fire, then flatten it with a heavy object and let it cool.

When cleaning the comb, be sure to use clean and cold water, and do not use chemical detergents. You can first use a cotton thread to pull it back and forth between the teeth of the comb, or drag a paper towel between the teeth of the comb. After all the dirt between the teeth is out, rinse the horn comb in cold water for a while, wipe it dry with a soft cloth, and put it in a cool place to dry, and it will be as good as new. When combing your hair, be sure to follow the direction of the hair. If you encounter a knot, do not pull it hard. After all, the keratin will break, just like our nails will break. If the weather is too dry, you can put some moisturizer on the comb to prevent it from cracking, just like our skin.

Ox horn combs should be kept away from high temperature, exposure to the sun, acid and alkali corrosion; they should not be pulled, folded, dropped, or hit against hard objects. Do not soak it in water for a long time to avoid deformation of the horn comb or peeling of the cuticle and loss of luster.

As the weather gets colder, more and more girls choose horn combs instead of combs made of inferior materials. However, the air is relatively dry in winter, and when the room is heated or air-conditioned, a horn comb exposed to such an environment will easily crack due to rapid water loss overnight. This is determined by the characteristics of horn products themselves. But the cracking only affects the appearance of the horn comb without affecting its physical properties. Therefore, we recommend that maintenance be performed every 10-15 days on average during the lower and drier seasons.

This can extend the life of the horn comb and make the glossiness more lasting and less likely to crack.
