Hair Loss Myth: Better to Use a Brush than a Comb

Will using a comb make me go bald?   I heard using a brush is better.   Is this true?  

The truth is, hair loss is not caused by brushing or combing the hair.   So the use of either is safe and will not cause baldness.

A comb however, may be a better option for hair care especially since  a bristle brush is more likely to cause split ends thus making the hair unhealthy.

Though hair loss can be due to a number of medical conditions, the most common is Androgenetic Alopecia or hereditary hair loss.  

To learn more about the cause of hereditary hair loss I recommend you read the following Hair Loss Q&A Blog.   You can also learn more about hair restoration  on our website.
