Backcombing is commonly done during hair styling, to create more volume but this type of combing / brushing forces the hair into the opposite direction. The process of backcombing is carried out the same way for men and women (women tend to have longer hair). You might have heard you should never backcomb your hair because it will eventually fall out.
Is this a myth, a tale or is it true? If you brush correctly there shouldn’t be any hair loss, however, brushing your hair
in certain cases in certain ways can result in excessive hair breakage (and thinner ‘less’ hair).
Is Backcombing Advisable and Safe?
One belief is backcombing causes the hair follicles to break and the hair is able to come out easily. Hence:
The follicles are attached to the scalp by a thin layer of tissue called dermal papilla and when the hair is pulled backwards, the follicles become stretched and the thin tissue can be pulled out which results in hair loss. That’s one school of thought but this has never been scientifically proven.
Backcombing occasionally won’t create any irreversible damage, however doing this regularly may well result in permanent damage.
