Speaking to the founder of Pro Love Salon, Lazaros Sumbane, he told Briefly News about the benefits of not combing your hair:

"Your hair will get more nutrients from the follicles to the scalp, up to the strand. It locks in the natural moisture; everything happens naturally. It reduces breakage, dryness, growth of split ends, and, of course, the pain of combing the hair."

Lazaros also told the publication about some challenges and shared expert advice for maintaining unkempt hair:

"You need to wash, treat and hand detangle your hair because if you don't comb it, it will be tangled and lead to locks."
