In hairdressing it is necessary to maintain exemplary cleanliness of all rooms. Otherwise, there is a danger, both for clients and for working personnel to be infected with various infectious diseases. Eating and relaxing during breaks should be in a specially designated room.
To protect household clothes from contamination, barber shop employees should have two sets of specials. clothes. It is not allowed to store casual clothes and work clothes in the same wardrobe compartment. Change specials. clothes are made as they are polluted at least twice a week.
All workers, before going to work, must pass a test for the carriage of bacteria of the intestinal group and undergo a sanitary minimum (frequency during work 1 time every two years), and then twice a year they must undergo a mandatory periodic medical examination. In the personal medical booklet, the specialist of the medical examination room shall be admitted to work after laboratory testing of blood for syphilis, bacteriological research for venereal diseases, examination by a dermatovenereologist and fluorography. In order to prevent the possibility of some contagious diseases, hairdresser's workers are given preventive vaccinations, which are marked in a personal medical booklet or issued with a personal certificate.
Before servicing each client, the master must wash his hands thoroughly. The appearance of the barbershop worker must be neat, fit, work clothes must be clean. Do not use the toilet in work clothes. Careful nail care is required. It is not advisable to grow very long nails, as it is possible to hurt the client. Wash nails after each client thoroughly with a brush.
Combing is a mandatory operation of all types of hair treatment, without even looking completely different from one another. Combing allows you to perform the following tasks:
1) to eliminate tangled areas of hair (tangled hair interferes with winding quickly and correctly separate the strands of hair, during dyeing - combing the paint on the ends of the hair),
2) ensure that the hair is parallel with respect to each other, which is very important when curling on curlers, bobbins, etc. to obtain a high-quality curl (hair of each strand should be perpendicular to the corresponding tool axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation, performed only when combing the hair and parallel to their position relative to each other.In addition, with non-parallel arrangement of hair it is impossible to achieve a uniform distribution of the wetting composition A perm.)
3) give the hair the right direction (the fulfillment of this condition is of great importance for shaping the hair),
4) find out the length of each hair or individual sections of the scalp (a necessary requirement for performing haircuts of certain styles).
Before combing the hair, it is necessary to check how tangled they are. The operation of combing heavily entangled hair is divided into several stages.
Stage 1 division of hair into sections. The size of the detachable areas should be inversely proportional to the tangled hair. With the thumb of the left hand or the little finger, the base of the treated strand is lightly pressed to the scalp. Combing hair is advisable to start from the ends. Carefully combing the first 5 to 10 cm of hair strands, proceed to combing the next part of the hair, closer to the base. Stop combing with repeated free passage of the comb across the entire hair strand. For combing, the comb with rare teeth is the most acceptable.
To comb short hair, you can not divide them into sections.
The movement of the hairdresser should be light, neat, unhurried. Special attention requires combing wet and damp hair. Such hairs are easily drawn out and lose their strength. In the process of combing, blood flow to the hair nipples and hair roots increases.

What is a proper hair comb
Take time to the procedure should be twice a day: morning and evening. Ideally, finding about 10 minutes each time: long combing will be of great benefit, besides, this is a great head massage!
- At first, the hair is unraveled with a flat comb-comb with sparse and large teeth.
- Then you need to comb them along the entire length with a brush.
Choosing the right hair comb
Combs, brushes and combs are basic tools for combing. Therefore, their choice must be approached with all responsibility. First of all, pay attention to the material from which the comb is made.
- The best way - tree or horn. Combs from natural materials are useful for hair, pleasant to the scalp. However, it is difficult to care for the wood: it is important to keep this comb clean, and the wood absorbs moisture well, which means that regular washing is excluded. Horn combs are the best option, but over time, chisperins appear on the surface that can damage the hair shafts.
- Most experts are against metal combs. The teeth of such hairbrushes are very hard, often unimportantly processed, therefore, the surface remains dangerous for the hair notches.
- The most common option is plastic tools for combing. These combs are durable, easy to clean, inexpensive. The main disadvantage is that the hair is electrified during long-term combing.
Also important comb view: daily combing comb the spine with rare teeth perfectly, combing dandruff needs a comb with frequent fine teeth. The same applies to the brushes - if the tufts of bristles are rare, then such a comb is great for massaging the head, and a brush with too frequent bristles will not cope with this task - it simply will not be able to break through the hair!
How to care for a brush
- It is important not to give a comb to anyone else - this is the same personal hygiene item as a toothbrush.
- Brush and comb should be kept clean. Ideally, wash after every use. Use for this purpose an old toothbrush or shaving brush - this will clean the teeth and bristles from dirt. After washing, the comb should be rinsed and wiped dry.
- Do not use a purchased comb at once - it must be disinfected in a solution of chloramine. Take 5 grams of crystalline chloramine and dissolve in 1 liter of water. Immerse the brush in the solution for 15 minutes, then rinse and dry.
- The metal comb can be sterilized with alcohol.
- Watch out for the stiffness of the bristles of the brush - over time it is lost. Hold the brush briefly in a weak solution of alum, and it will be like new!

How to comb your hair: tips from ALERANA ® specialists
If you are the owner long hair, you can't go anywhere - you have to buy 2 combs: a comb with wide teeth and a brush for massage. Start combing hair from the ends, and then move to the head. After combing your hair along the entire length with a comb, take a massage brush - here you can safely carry it from root to tip!
With short hair (up to the length of the shoulders) you can comb the hair immediately from the roots and along the entire length. A short haircut does not confuse the hair so much, so if you support it, regularly cut the tips, the problem of the nodules being formed does not threaten you. Choose a brush with a wide working surface without sharp teeth, so as not to injure your head.
Behind curly hair requires special care. Special combs for wavy hair have very rare teeth. Curls are combed, like long hair, starting with disentangling the ends and smoothly rising to the head. For this type of hair, it is enough to use a comb with sparse teeth.
When combing hair of any type should be guided by the following principles:
1. Do not make sudden movements, do not try to "break through" through the tangles and knots.
2. Alternate the movement of the comb with hand stroking - so you evenly distribute sebum, and the hair will be shiny, strong, healthy.
3. If you have no problems with pressure, brush your head with your head bowed: you can sit on a chair and tilt it between your knees down or lie on the sofa with your head hanging down from the armrest. So the blood will flow to the head, go to the roots of the hair.
What does the process of combing affect
It is worth paying attention to this action and emphasize it, giving it enough time. But the correct combing of the curls is not only the need to unravel them or bring them to a normal state. It is also a scalp massage. This procedure activates the blood circulation, which helps with the blood flow to bring a sufficient amount of useful vitamins and minerals to the hair follicle. Combing helps evenly distribute the secreted sebum, which guarantees the protection of the hair structure over the entire length.
Therefore, our grandmothers scrupulously treated this procedure, giving it at least 30 minutes daily.
Brush for combing and massage
Approach this tool very carefully with close attention. The brush is good because combing combines with massage. Therefore, its use is suitable for weakened hair. The choice is best done in favor of brushes that have rounded teeth. Sharp is better to give up, as they can cause injury.
The next thing you notice when choosing the right tool is the material from which it is made. Today, a lot of combs made from plastic or wood. It is preferable to choose the second option, as it is a natural material and it is gentle on the hair. Plastic causes the electrification of curls, which significantly affects and spoils their structure. Tools with metal teeth also have the right to be, but before using them, experts recommend heating them with a hairdryer, which will make the procedure pleasant.
Do not forget that it is not enough to buy a quality comb. It is important to clean it from dirt in time.
Rules easy combing curls
Hairdressers and trichologists recommend combing over the course of the day at least three times. Comb your hair in smooth movements, holding up to ten times on each strand. It is forbidden to comb wet hair, as they are very vulnerable.
- Regardless of the length of the curls, you must choose the right position for this procedure. Choose the one that suits you. It is recommended to do this sitting, with his head down between his knees, or lying down, dangling her from the edge of the sofa. At the same time, the head, lowered down, guarantees a good blood flow to the skin, which under the influence of massage movements from the comb increases several times. Do not forget that you often need to comb your hair and do it smoothly, so spend at least 15–30 minutes on this procedure and repeat it at least 3 times a day.
How to comb long, curly and very tangled hair after washing
Trichologists forbid carrying it on wet hair, as their structure deteriorates and they break. But for a woman, in this case, it remains an open question what to do when shampooing occurs in the morning, and there is a catastrophic shortage of time for complete drying. If you comb your hair properly after washing, you can avoid or minimize the negative impact of such care:
- you must comb your hair before washing,
- after washing to give hair dry, speeding up the process with a towel,
- shake your head
- try to comb your hair without a comb: run your fingers wide apart through them, imitating the actions of the comb,
- continue to use only comb with rare teeth from natural materials,
- combing begins along the strands, moving from the tips gradually to the roots.
It is easiest to comb short hair, as their tips are close to the roots. But long curls require special care. Properly combing long hair is not difficult: it should be done in stages, one at a time, from the bottom and slowly moving to the roots. This will protect against injury of curls. In the same way, it is easy to comb tangled hair to a child. This will not cause him pain, and he will not be afraid in the future of this procedure.
The same technique helps to easily comb and very tangled hair, making it strand by strand with smooth movements.
If you comb your hair correctly, very soon you will notice significant changes in the state of your curls for the better.
1. Need to properly wash your hair
Many will ask, are there rules in this simple and routine procedure?
Actually yes!
The first of these refers to the temperature of the water, which we wash my hair. When we wash our heads we need to adjust the temperature of the water twice, once at the beginning, second time at the end.
The fact is that there are scales on the hair, they must open, then the shampoo and conditioner must complete their task, but in order for the result to be fixed and the scales close back and close together, cold water is needed.
The second rule refers to the amount of shampoothat we put on the hair, many consider the more foam, the cleaner the hair, but in fact this is a wrong opinion, and vice versa.To wash your hair, you need just a drop of shampoo, and when we apply a lot, we dry our scalp, and it begins to produce sebum faster, and ultimately we have to wash our hair again, but now much more often.
The third rule - it is necessary to properly apply and distribute the shampoo and balm.
It is best to lather the shampoo in your hands and then distribute it on the scalp and the hair roots. To distribute the shampoo needs to be massaged, it will lead to improved blood flow and the most rapid hair growth.
A simple rule should be remembered: shampoo is applied to the hair roots and down to the middle of the length, and the conditioner is applied to the ends of the hair and distributed up to the middle of the length, it is best to wet the ends of the hair before applying the conditioner, so we remove the excess moisture and the balm is better absorbed.
2. Properly dry hair
First you should pay attention to the towel that we wipe our heads with. You should not take a huge terry towel, which we wipe the body with, but give preference to a micro fiber towel.
It is not necessary in any case to massage the hair with a towel, and gently blot them. After the hair you need to comb a rare comb. It is necessary to begin to style already almost dry hair, so they are less injured.
3. Proper nutrition
An important component of healthy hair is proper nutrition.
The most necessary products for hair are:
- Different types of nuts, without them, hair growth slows down, and the hair itself becomes dull.
- Eggs - thanks to vitamin B12, hair looks shiny and smooth.
- Vegetables such as zucchini spinach - give a healthy look to the hair and scalp.
If you use these simple rules, you can, without expensive cosmetics, take care of your hair and bring their luxurious condition.
Hair combing tools
A worker cannot be good without a proper tool. Similarly, with combing hair: what to do this procedure?
The modern beauty industry offers a wide range of different hairbrushes, combs and brushes. The first thing you need to pay attention to is the material from which they are all made.
Today, wood as a natural material for combing is one of the best and most optimal options for any type of hair.
Yes, it is difficult to care for a wooden comb, but compared to a metal one it is very pleasant for the skin, and unlike a plastic one it does not electrify curls.
Its main drawback is that it is difficult to maintain perfect cleanliness and sometimes too intensive absorption of moisture makes the comb unsuitable for its further use.
Another good, high-quality, natural material for combing, which is worth paying close attention, is a horn. It also compares favorably with plastic brushes in that it helps to reduce static electricity in curls.
But the most important advantage of the horn as a material for combing is that it is as close as possible in its chemical composition to the biological material that our hair consists of.
He also has a drawback, which should also be taken into account when choosing such a tool for combing: with intensive and frequent washing of hair with hot or warm water, horny hairs appear on the horny comb, which damages the scalp and the strands themselves when combing.
Steel hair tools are very popular because they are affordable and affordable. Experts recommend warming them slightly with metal brushes before combing their hair (this can be done by putting them on the battery or the hot lid of the kettle, pans).
This advice is connected with the fact that the warm metal gives a slightly different (more pleasant) sensations than the cold one. And yet, most of the specialists in hairdressing and trichology are against metal hairbrushes because of the hardness of the teeth and their poor-quality processing.
Plastic
The most common tools for combing hair are plastic. Love for them is dictated by sufficient strength, hygiene, ease of care.
However, the disadvantage is also very significant: with such material you will constantly electrify your hair. So, the material for combing is selected.
Now is the time to pay attention to their teeth, which will also determine the process of correctly combing the most tangled strands:
- sharp and hard teeth are excluded: they injure the scalp and lead to various diseases,
- ideally, the tips of the teeth on the comb should be rounded, not sharp,
- for often confused and curly hair you need to choose comb with rare teeth,
- If you need to comb dandruff, take frequent teeth.
Properly selected comb is a guarantee that the procedure of combing even the most tangled hair will pass smoothly and painlessly. However, there are a few very important nuances that must be kept in mind for the proper combing of the curls.
Important advice from the publisher!
A recent study of hair care products revealed a terrible figure - 98% of popular shampoos spoil our hair. Check the composition of your shampoo for the presence of sulfates: sodium lauryl / laureth sulfate, coco sulfate, PEG, DEA, MEA. These aggressive components destroy the hair structure, deprive the curls of color and elasticity, making them lifeless. But this is not the worst!
These chemicals penetrate the blood through the pores, and are spread through the internal organs, which can cause allergies or even cancer. We strongly recommends discarding these shampoos. Use only natural cosmetics. Our editors conducted a series of shampoo tests, among which they identified the leader, Mulsan Cosmetic.
Products meet all standards and standards of safe cosmetics. Mulsan is the only manufacturer of all-natural cosmetics. We recommend to visit the official website mulsan.ru. We remind you that natural cosmetics do not have a shelf life of more than one year of storage.
Rules of combing hair
To do this, it is enough to adhere to simple and unpretentious rules.
With strict and daily adherence to them, you will feel how your curls are filled with life force, no longer confuse and do not fall out:
- It is mandatory to comb your hair three times a day: in the morning, right after sleep, in the afternoon, after work, in the evening, before going to bed. However, this is not a limitation: in ancient times, according to old recommendations, a girl had to comb her hair ten times throughout the day, and for each combing she had to make 10 smoothing movements through the hair with a comb from top to bottom. From the point of view of trichology, everything is absolutely true: such daily manipulations contribute to the improvement of blood circulation, the secretion of subcutaneous fat by the sebaceous glands, and its even distribution along the strands.
- It is strictly forbidden to comb wet and even wet curls. First, they need to be dried (best of all - naturally).
- To properly comb your hair, you need to tilt your head. This is possible in several poses: lie down so that the head hangs down over the edge of the sofa, sit on a chair and tilt the head between the knees, do it standing up (although in this position, many may have a tired back). The slope is needed for increased blood flow to the skin. However, there is one very important contraindication: it’s impossible to linger in these positions for a long time for those who have problems with blood pressure.
- It is necessary to start combing the hair from the back of the head evenly, smoothly, slowly in all directions. If you do everything right, after 3 minutes you will feel the heat. This is a sign that the blood circulation has begun to work at an accelerated pace: the maximum amount of nutrients is delivered to the roots, the curls are strengthened, gaining strength, start to grow better.
- When combing, alternate movements with a comb (brush) with stroking the curls with the palm of the other (free) hand. One movement do the comb, the other - palm. Stroking the curls with your hands for a few minutes is recommended even after combing. It helps to distribute sebum over the entire hair sheet more evenly, which makes them shiny, strong, elastic.
- No sudden movements during this procedure can be made: they should be smooth and soft.
In order not to lose hair with whole strands and not let them mess, you just need to be able to comb them correctly.
This is - the basis of proper combing hair.
Compliance with which to preserve the beauty and health of your locks, will save them from many diseases and misfortunes, make them irresistible and fantastically beautiful.
How to comb your hair: the basic commandments
To begin with it is necessary to choose a suitable comb. At the same time, start from the type of hair.
For naughty hair
For long hair that is easily confused, a wet brush, a comb for disentangling wet hair or a brush with synthetic teeth of different lengths will do. This brush will help to comb hair without damaging or breaking it. The size of the brush does not affect its effectiveness, but the larger the area, the faster you will comb them.
Editor's Board: in the fight against unruly hair will help indelible moisturizers. We like TIGI Bed Head Ego Boost hair conditioner cream. The product moisturizes and smoothes the strands, gives the hairstyle a well-groomed look and healthy shine.
For thick and thick hair
For thick and dense hair, a wide flat comb will suit. A wide flat comb should be chosen by owners of thick and long hair, as it helps to dry the strands. Wet your hair by combing it with a flat comb, and then go round. A flat comb is also not suitable if you want to shape your hair. It is necessary to comb hair slowly, starting from the tips and gradually moving to the roots.

For short hair
Owners of short hair are not limited in the choice of combs. Bottom volume will help create a small round brush, a wooden comb is suitable for smoothing strands. You can also use a male comb - for example, if you forget your home.
For curly hair
If you have curly, wavy or chemically curled hair, try a large square comb-brush. This comb will not fluff your strands (we know how you dread it), and allow the curls to keep their shape.
Editor's Board: There are many adherents of the idea that curly hair does not need to be combed at all. Try this option: on dried hair, apply TIGI Bed Head Foxy Curl moisturizing and defining mousse, retreating 3-4 centimeters from the roots. The product will help give curls elasticity and get rid of unwanted fluffiness. If you still want to know how to comb your hair, read our detailed instructions for owners of curls and curls.
For fine hair
Owners of thin hair, regardless of their length, will suit the brush with frequent and thin teeth. Give preference to natural materials. This comb will help create additional volume when combing.
Editor's board : if volume is your goal, do not come up with means more conveniently than Dove's “Lightness of Oxygen” spray volume with Oxyfusion technology. The spray is suitable for creating basal volume, as it is specially created for thin and damaged hair.

How to comb your hair and not damage it
Let's go through the most basic laws of neat combing hair.
Release pressure
To become a master of combing you need to remember three words: continue with caution. You can not pull the hair and aggressively wade the comb through the mats - you not only risk brittle strands, but also exert too much pressure on the roots, which can lead to hair loss.
Result of careless handling of the comb? Hair loss, brittleness, split ends, the overall sad look of hair.
For gentle combing, divide the hair into several sections, at least into two, and gently comb the hair, starting from the ends. If you find a knot or koltun - disassemble it with your fingers, do not attack with a comb. The comb with rare teeth also copes well with nodules. Remember: the less effort you make, the better for your curls.
Treat wet hair with extreme caution.
Hair more prone to cross-section and brittleness when it is wet. Avoid combing wet hair, unless you have a special brush, which we discussed above. Instead, dry them with a microfiber towel and let them dry naturally. Only then proceed to careful combing.
