Hearing breakage while combing my hair drives me CRAZY!

try not to comb all of your hair at the same time. i comb my hair in the evening bind them loosely so i don`t have to comb them in the morning. my long, curly hair would be a mess after the night.. remember that it`s normal to loose up to 100 hairs in a day. also, if you have your hair up, you will notice this natural hairloss not until you open your hair to comb it.

Hi SuperGrover,

Actually, you are wise to "listen" to your hair talk while you comb it. (We maintain our cars in part by washing them, so why shouldn't we also maintain our hair in part by brushing it carefully? IMO this is not obsessive -- it is being thoughtful and careful of one's self). Anyway, slower combing helps. And if it snarls, use the fingers to detangle the snag... helps prevents damage. Hope this helps!

OK, I think I'm anti-hair-damage OBSESSED.

I rarely brush my hair, I usually just comb it once a day with a wide-tooth wooden comb.

But even when I'm being super gentle, I still hear and feel these light pulls. I figure they must be causing damage, because the sounds are caused by friction, and friction means damage.

Maybe I should do nothing but finger comb my hair from now on? Am I over-obsessed? Do I need to just chill and comb my hair like a normal person?
