Every time you wash your hair and comb it, you get the same annoying knot. Some people think that the sharp tear that happens all the time is merely a necessary evil, like “shedding” or the price of having long, thick, or textured hair. This is an extremely bad idea that costs a lot of money. That sound isn’t normal hair loss; it’s a mechanical break, which is the sound of the hair fiber breaking at its weakest point. This small amount of damage every day is the biggest thing that inhibits people from getting longer, thicker hair. It makes the ends thinner, makes the hair frizzy, and makes it look like growth has stopped.
There are other things than expensive serums and conditioners that can help your hair look its best. These things just strive to fix a cycle of damage that keeps happening. When it comes to untangling, the actual answer is to change how physics works. This entails fixing the specific mechanical issue with the fixed-tooth comb, which can be found in practically every bathroom. In order to completely appreciate the solution, one must first have a deep awareness of how weak the hair fiber structure is.
Part 1: The Biomechanical Crisis of Wet Hair
A significant portion of hair is composed of keratin proteins, which are long, intricate fibers that are grouped in a hierarchical structure. Despite the fact that many think it to be extremely robust and resilient, its strength is only maintained for a short period of time. There are three layers that make up the hair shaft: the medulla, which is the innermost core and is frequently absent in finer hair; the cortex, which is the major structural body that provides hair with its elasticity and tensile strength; and the cuticle, which is the outermost layer of overlapping scales that protects hair.
As a result of the fact that the cortex is where the majority of the hair’s links are located, your hair is most prone to breaking there.
