Care and hygiene

Remove loose hair from brushes and combs after each use, wash in warm water with mild soap, and let them dry. Do not share a scalp massager without cleaning it, and replace tools with cracked or snagging teeth.

A gentle routine

Detangle from the ends upward, work in sections, and start with damp hair and conditioner for stubborn knots. Stop pulling if the hair or scalp is sore; persistent hair loss or scalp problems deserve a professional opinion.
