Choosing the right hair comb can make all the difference in achieving your desired hairstyle. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to know which comb is best suited for your hair type. In this ultimate guide, we will explore the different types of combs available and provide tips for selecting the perfect one for your hair.

The first step in choosing the right hair comb is to understand your hair type. Is your hair fine or thick? Straight or curly? Knowing your hair type will help you determine which comb will work best for you. Different combs are designed to tackle different hair types and textures, so it's essential to choose one that will work with your hair, not against it.

For those with fine hair, it's best to use a comb with closely spaced teeth. This will prevent the comb sliding out of your slippery, fine hair. Look for a comb with teeth that are smooth and rounded, as sharp teeth can cause damage to fine hair. Our French Handmade hair combs are handcrafted from cellulose acetate which is a biodegradable material that is very flexible. These combs are polished and smoothed by hand for smooth, shiny edges which will not cause any damage to your fine hair. Plastic, high street hair combs can snag on your hair and cause split ends.

Waved teeth hair combs are also great for fine hair as this shape allows no hair to escape and slide out.

For those with thick hair, a comb with widely spaced teeth is best for you. It's also important to look for a comb with sturdy teeth that won't break. Our thick hair combs are designed with your hair in mind. They can withstand a large amount of thick hair without breaking. Our Large Thick Hair Side Comb is perfect for thick hair, designed to provide superior comfort with its wide-toothed curved finish, allowing it to easily curve to the shape of your head.

If you have curly hair and are looking to sweep sides of your with hair combs then you need to be looking for combs with widely spaced teeth. This ensures a secure hold and prevents damaging any of your curls. Our larger sized combs such as our Curved French Pleat Comb and 12cm French Pleat Combs are perfect for creating French pleats with curly and thick hair.
