Hair Comb

Hair combs are combs that are used to brush through hair. They help keep hair looking neat, healthy, and knot-free.

What are the different types of hair combs?

One type is the rat tail comb, which has a thin metal or plastic "tail" at the bottom of the plastic teeth of the comb. Another type of hair comb is the widetooth comb. Wide tooth combs have thicker, widely spaced teeth on the comb. On the other side of the spectrum from the wide tooth comb is the fine tooth comb. Fine tooth combs have fine, closely spaced teeth on the comb. There is also the option of getting a beard comb, which will help keep your beard looking neat. For textured or natural hair, you may want to look into getting an afro pick comb. Afro pick combs are generally upright combs with long teeth, in contrast to most other types of combs which have shorter teeth on the side.

How can you style your hair using a hair comb?

For a neat and sleek look that requires little fuss and can be touched up throughout the day, a regular comb should do the trick. To tame hair that is a bit more unruly or a longer-lasting style, you could try an electric hot comb or a nonelectric hot comb. You can create a long-lasting sleek look with a straightening comb. A fun and easy accessory to top off either of these looks would be comb headband.

Which comb is the right one for you?

If you have curly hair that tangles often, you should consider a hairbrush for curly hair or a wide-tooth comb. Fine hair would do well with a fine-tooth comb. Razor combs are only good options if you're hoping to thin out your hair, not for everyday use. If you or your child is suffering from lice, you will definitely want to invest in a lice comb.
