Hair Combs

The different types of hair comb for suitable styling

The detangling comb has wide teeth that glide easily through the hair, perfect for avoiding breakage when detangling thick or curly hair. The fine-tooth comb is ideal for precise styling, especially for smoothing the hair or working on details. The tail comb makes it easy to separate strands thanks to its thin handle, a useful tool for creating clean styles or preparing a cut.

The afro comb has widely spaced and often long teeth, perfect for shaping coily hair and adding volume without damaging it. For straightening or working on extensions, choosing a robust, ergonomic cutting comb means precise handling of the hair. The comb’s materials influence its quality.

A wooden or horn comb is often anti-static, which reduces frizz and looks after the hair fibre. Combs made of cellulose acetate offer good resistance to heat, useful for heated styles. Options in recycled plastic are light and durable, while staying easy to handle.

A handmade comb often has a unique vintage style and a better finish. Choosing the right hair comb means choosing effective styling that suits your hair type and the hairstyle you want.

How do you choose a comb to suit your hair type (fine, thick, curly)?

For fine hair, choose a comb with closely set teeth, as it gives gentle styling without pulling on the delicate hair fibre. A comb with good ergonomics is easier to hold and avoids snagging the hair when brushing. Wooden or horn models are best for fine hair because they reduce static and are kind to the hair.

If your hair is thick, opt for a sturdy comb with spaced teeth, ideal for quick detangling without straining the fibre. A comb in recycled plastic is often lighter and tougher, perfect for frequent use on dense hair. This type of comb needs to be solid while being comfortable to use.

For curly hair, the comb must respect the natural shape of your curls. A wide-tooth comb specially designed for curly hair avoids flattening the structure of the curls. Handmade combs in natural materials offer gentle, lasting care, also helpful for extension care when you wear them.

Some combs, thanks to their anti-static quality, limit the frizz often found in this type of hair. We offer hair combs suited to every hair type, to give you personalised, effective styling for your daily hair routine.

How do you properly clean and look after your hair combs?

A simple rinse is not enough to keep a hair comb perfectly clean. We advise dipping your comb in lukewarm water with mild soap to remove dust and traces of styling products. For a deeper clean, leave your comb to soak for a few minutes in a solution of water and white vinegar or, if you prefer, in a special cleaning mixture for hair care tools.

This quick step keeps your hair accessories clean. After washing, use an old toothbrush to remove dirt lodged between the teeth of the afro comb or wide-tooth comb. Drying the comb carefully with a soft towel helps its durability, especially for those made of wood or horn.

Avoiding hot water protects combs made of natural materials, while a light wipe with a microfibre cloth removes water marks and avoids stains on vintage-design cellulose acetate models. We recommend a little weekly care ritual to prevent greasy residue on your detangling comb, improve the ergonomics of styling and keep the teeth in good condition even after intensive use. Impeccable extension care also depends on a clean comb, free of build-up.

To protect your clothes when you clean a comb, it is best to put on a suitable accessory such as our aprons & protection. A clean, safe workspace makes these little gestures much easier to build into your routine.
