Choosing the right detangling comb for your hair type can make all the difference in your hair care routine. Whether you have curly, straight, thick, or fine hair, using the right comb can help prevent breakage and damage while detangling.

A wide-tooth comb is ideal for detangling curly or thick hair, while a fine-tooth comb is better suited for straight or fine hair.

The best combs for fine hair are fine-toothed combs. These will detangle your hair whilst avoiding any frizziness. It is also important you choose a non-damaging hair comb as metal and plastic combs can cause breakage to the hair. Our French Handmade hair combs are made from a sustainable material called cellulose actetate, this is a strong yet flexible material. These are handmade in our French factory that have been making hair clips since 1892, these combs are polished for smooth, non-damaging edges.

People with curly and highly textured hair should brush their hair minimally, and only during wash days, in order to keep their hair from getting too frizzy and losing its texture. However, fine and straighter hair types should comb their hair daily, either once or twice a day. This is important because regular combing helps to clean old hair, dead skin cells, hair product residues, grime, and other deposits that sit at the root of your hair and scalp.

To avoid frizz you need to be using a wide-tooth comb and reduce the amount of times you are combing your hair. Constant combing will lead to frizz.

It is important to brush or comb your hair once it's fully or almost dry. This is because wet hair is more fragile and is more prone to breakage. However, if you have very tangled and knotted hair it is recommended to use a wide-tooth comb very gently through your hair. This comb must have smooth edges or it can cause irritation to your scalp and will be more likely to break your hair.
