When to Comb Hair?

Published in Hair Care Timing 2 mins read

Combing your hair can be beneficial at various times for different reasons. Here's a breakdown of when it's best to comb your hair, based on information from La Bonne Brosse:

Optimal Times to Comb Your Hair


Time Purpose
Morning To detangle hair, distribute sebum, and style.
During the Day For a quick refresh.


Morning Combing

  • Detangling: After sleeping, hair can become tangled. Combing in the morning helps to gently remove these tangles, preventing breakage.
  • Sebum Distribution: Your scalp produces sebum (natural oils) overnight. Combing helps to distribute this oil from your roots to the tips of your hair, which acts as a natural conditioner and adds shine.
  • Styling: A morning comb is also a great opportunity to style your hair. It can smooth down flyaways and prepare your hair for your preferred look.

Combing During the Day

  • Refresh: Combing your hair during the day provides a quick and easy way to refresh your style. This helps keep your hair looking neat and well-maintained throughout the day.

Benefits of Regular Combing

  • Improved Scalp Health: Combing can stimulate the scalp, promoting blood flow and encouraging healthy hair growth.
  • Reduced Breakage: Gentle detangling prevents hair from breaking when it's knotted.
  • Enhanced Shine: Distributing sebum creates a natural, healthy shine to your hair.


By combing at these specific times, you can help keep your hair healthy, styled, and looking its best.
