4 Detangling Comb Options
1. The Rat-Tail Comb
While the name of this particular tool isn’t the most pleasing, the benefits it provides are endless. The rat-tail comb serves a multitude of purposes including detangling. This is a fine-toothed comb and is the best option for women with shorter strands as it takes a little extra time and care to work it through your knots. Once you’ve finished detangling, this comb also helps create a super straight part, works really well for teasing, and can help smooth flyaways, too.
2. The Wooden Comb
The most beneficial part of using a wooden comb is the static-fighting power that comes with this particular hair tool. Great for women with finer hair and for use specifically in the winter months, a wooden comb will help you work through your knots without giving you that mad scientist look.
3. The Wide-Toothed Comb
Perhaps the most famous, and certainly one of our favorites, is the wide-toothed comb. We most often see women using this tool either in the shower or right after. The wide set placement of the comb’s teeth allow for easy detangling and ensures that your hair won’t get caught in finer bristles. Use this comb to evenly distribute your conditioner in the shower, or right after you wash your hair to detangle and simultaneously stimulate your roots.
4. The Spaced-Out Brush
While this tool isn’t technically a comb, sometimes the best option might be to use a brush. These brushes, in particular, feature bristles with a bit more space between them making them a great option for detangling. The wider the bristle the more gentle you’ll be on your strands and that’s particularly important when considering the health of your hair. No matter what kind of comb or brush you end up choosing always remember to start at the bottom and work your way up as you detangle. This will ensure that you cause minimal breakage to your strands and keep them super healthy. Looking to learn more about your essential hair tools?
