Working principle of air cushion massage comb: How to achieve "combing hair without damaging hair"?

1. Air cushion buffering: reduce pulling and protect hair

Pain points of ordinary combs: fixed comb teeth, forced pulling when encountering tangled hair, easy to break hair or damage hair follicles.

Solution of air cushion comb:

Elastic air cushion built into the bottom of the comb, and the root of the comb teeth is connected to the air cushion.

When combing to the knot, the air cushion is compressed and rebounds, and the comb teeth automatically adjust the angle and strength to avoid hard pulling.

Similar to the "shock absorber" effect, it is especially suitable for fine and soft hair that is easy to break.

Experimental comparison:

Using ordinary combs and air cushion combs to comb knotted wigs respectively, the amount of broken hair with the air cushion comb is reduced by about 60%.

 

2. Blunt comb teeth: avoid scratching the scalp and hair scales

Risks of ordinary combs: Plastic or metal comb teeth have sharp edges, and long-term use may scratch the scalp or wear the hair cuticle.

 

Design optimization of air cushion comb:

The top of the comb teeth is smooth and round (common materials: rubber, silicone) to reduce friction.

The round teeth can gently stimulate the scalp and promote blood circulation, but will not scratch the skin.

Suitable for sensitive scalp or fragile hair after chemotherapy.

 

3. Air vent design: disperse static electricity and reduce frizz

The trouble of static electricity: when combing hair in a dry environment, ordinary combs are prone to static electricity, causing hair to frizz.

 

Anti-static mechanism of air cushion comb:

The air cushion part is equipped with air vents, and air flow helps to discharge static electricity when combing hair.

Some high-end comb teeth contain natural bristles or anti-static coatings (such as carbon fiber) to further neutralize the charge.

Test data:

In an environment with 30% humidity, the static electricity generated by the air cushion comb is 45% lower than that of the plastic comb.

 

4. Massage the scalp: promote circulation and relieve stress

Limitations of ordinary combs: can only comb the surface of hair and it is difficult to reach the scalp.

Massage advantages of air cushion comb:

The elastic air cushion makes the comb teeth produce a pulsed touch when pressed, similar to finger massage.

Stimulate scalp acupuncture points (such as Baihui acupoint), help relax nerves and relieve headaches.

Long-term use can improve scalp microcirculation and help reduce hair loss.

5. Six scalp health benefits of air cushion massage comb

• Promote scalp blood circulation

Principle: The elastic pressure of the air cushion is evenly transmitted to the scalp through the comb teeth, stimulating the expansion of capillaries and accelerating blood flow.

Effect: Improve the nutrient supply of hair follicles and reduce hair loss caused by poor circulation. It is especially suitable for people who sit for a long time and are under great pressure.

 

• Relieve tension headaches & stress

Principle: The gentle stimulation of the scalp nerve endings when combing the hair triggers the parasympathetic nerve response and reduces the level of cortisol.

Effect: Similar to acupressure, it has a relaxing effect on the tight muscles around the temples and the top of the skull.

 

• Balance the oil secretion of the scalp

Mechanism: The massage action regulates the activity of the sebaceous glands to avoid excessive secretion (oily hair) or dryness (static hair).

Technique: When the hair is dry, comb from the hairline to the back of the neck to help the oil distribute naturally, instead of frequent shampooing.

 

• Reduce scalp inflammation & dandruff

Scientific basis: Regular massage can reduce the breeding environment of Malassezia, which causes dandruff.

Auxiliary effect: The comb teeth clean the old dead skin cells, but you need to choose round-headed comb teeth to avoid scratching.

 

• Improve hair strength

Data comparison: After using the air cushion comb for 3 months, the hair breakage rate is reduced by 40%.

Reason: Reduce knotting and pulling, and the buffering force protects the hair scales, especially effective for hair damaged by dyeing and perming.

 

• Improve sleep quality

Neurological explanation: Combing your hair before going to bed stimulates the trigeminal nerve branches and transmits relaxation signals to the brainstem, similar to the ASMR effect.

Practical suggestion: With lavender essential oil, comb your hair 100 times in a counterclockwise circle for a better sleep-aiding effect.

 

Usage Tips:

Frequency: 5 minutes each morning and evening, the strength should be such that the scalp is slightly hot and painless.

Cleaning: Wipe the comb teeth with alcohol cotton pads every week to prevent bacterial growth.

Contraindications: Stop using it when you have scalp eczema or open wounds.
