Will the stainless steel lice comb needles bend or break with frequent use?

Material and structural characteristics of stainless steel lice comb needles
Stainless steel lice comb needles are usually made of strong and tough metal materials, which makes them durable in daily use. The fineness and length of the comb pins are specially designed to ensure sufficient rigidity to effectively comb lice and lice eggs, and also to have a certain elasticity to prevent breakage due to excessive force during use. The metal material gives it a certain ability to withstand pressure and bend, so that the comb pins can adapt to the combing needs of different hair qualities.
The connection method between the comb pin and the comb body also plays an important role in its overall stability. The reasonable application of welding, embedding or other mechanical connection technologies can reduce the risk of comb pins falling off and enhance the durability of the overall structure.

The impact of high-frequency use on comb pins
In a high-frequency use environment, any tool will face greater wear and fatigue. For stainless steel lice comb needles, frequent combing actions mean that the needle teeth are constantly subjected to mechanical effects such as bending, stretching and pressure. Over a long period of time, tiny structural changes may occur in the metal material, which is called metal fatigue.
Metal fatigue refers to the gradual appearance of cracks in the microstructure of a material during repeated loading and unloading cycles, which eventually leads to fracture or deformation. Although stainless steel has good fatigue resistance, it is still possible to bend, deform, or even break under extreme or continuous high-intensity use. Especially when combing hard or tangled hair, the comb pins bear a greater load and the wear rate will also accelerate.

The impact of design factors on durability
The design details of the comb pin have a direct impact on its durability. Thicker needles are usually less likely to bend, but may affect the comfort and cleaning effect during use. Thinner needles are easier to penetrate fine hair and lice eggs, but their resistance to bending is slightly weaker.
The processing technology of the needle tip is also crucial. Polished or rounded needles are not only safer and less irritating to the scalp, but can also reduce stress concentration caused by surface defects and delay fatigue damage. The differences in material selection and processing technology among different manufacturers also determine the performance differences of comb pins when used at high frequencies.

The role of maintenance and usage habits
Proper use and maintenance can effectively extend the service life of stainless steel lice comb needles. Avoid using too much force, avoid combing hair that is seriously clumped, and clean the dirt and residue on the comb pins in time. These can reduce the extra pressure on the comb pins and slow down the fatigue process.
Regularly check whether the comb pins are bent or cracked, and replace them in time if abnormalities are found, which can also avoid the inconvenience and safety hazards caused by breakage during use. Avoid using highly corrosive detergents when cleaning, which helps protect the metal surface and maintain the toughness of the material.
