Men must take care of this hair regularly to stay healthy

Combing hair is equally important for men. It is not only beautiful, but also beneficial to health. Men should also pay attention to this little thing in life. Combing hair is generally considered a woman's thing, but few people know that combing hair also has a fitness effect, so men should also comb their hair frequently. As we all know, the human head is known as the "head of all yang".

Near the hairline of the head, there are the Du Meridian, the Bladder Meridian, the Gallbladder Meridian, the Stomach Meridian, as well as the Baihui and Dumen acupoints. If you can use a comb to massage and stimulate the acupoints and meridians on the head, it will have many effects such as unblocking the meridians, refreshing the brain, etc.

From this point of view, combing hair can indeed play a special role in massage and health care. It is natural for women to comb their hair, and men should also comb their hair frequently. An expert on human health and longevity said: "One of the reasons why men have a shorter life span than women is that they rarely comb their hair." This statement makes sense when you think about it carefully. It seems that men should also develop a good habit of combing their hair.

Proper hair combing is good for health

Combing your hair and letting the comb gently stroke your scalp can stimulate the nerve endings in the scalp through the cerebral cortex, regulate the nerve function of the head, relax the tension of the head nerves, and promote blood circulation. It is especially effective for people with neurasthenia or due to insomnia, overthinking, etc.

In addition, when you are tired from work or study, combing your hair with your fingers instead of a comb will also make you feel relaxed and comfortable. The ancients believed that combing your hair with your fingers can massage the scalp, make the blood flow smoothly, and make the hair shiny, so there is a saying that "hair should be combed frequently".

The "hair combing" massage method has a long history in my country. Every morning when you wake up, take a nap, before going to bed, or after practicing Qigong or massage, use the ten fingers of both hands to comb from the forehead to the back of the hair. It is best to do it slowly and gently, and it is even better to rub the scalp while combing. There is no limit to the number of times, and the time can be about ten minutes. You can also rub it dozens of times when you have time. Over time, you will feel a clear mind, better sleep, shiny hair, and senile hair loss will be prevented or alleviated.

Many people think that washing your hair frequently is a good way to protect your hair, but this is not entirely true. Washing your hair too often can easily cause hair loss. Dust and bacteria in the air attach to your hair and mix with the secretions of the sebaceous glands. When they dry, they become dandruff and dirt, which affects the health of your hair. Combing your hair in the morning and evening can reduce the irritation of dandruff and dirt on the scalp, promote blood circulation, and promote metabolism.

When combing your hair, pay attention to the method. The hair on the top and back of the head should be combed upwards, and the hair on both sides should be combed from the roots to the ends, and to the left and right. The hair and scalp should be perpendicular, and the comb teeth should lightly touch the scalp.

Combs should be used by one person only to prevent the spread of skin diseases. The combing technique should also be appropriate. Generally speaking, when combing long hair, start from the ends and comb upwards section by section to avoid unnecessary hair loss. When combing short hair, comb from the roots to the ends.

Combing in this way feels more comfortable and has a significant fitness effect. If you have acne on the top of your head, do not comb your hair with a close-toothed comb or a hair brush. You can use your fingers instead. Patients with head trauma should be careful not to use too much force when combing with a comb or fingers, which may cause infection.
