How to choose comb?

Everyone knows that hair is very important, to achieve and maintain healthy hair requires more than just your favorite shampoo or conditioner. Having the right tools and knowledge is just as important in your daily hair care regimen.

There are two primary functions for using a comb:

1. To help separate and detangle the individual hairs so that the comb teeth can reach the scalp to release the sebum, stimulate blood circulation, and to remove dirt.
2. To assist in creating your preferred cut, style and technique.

Based on above, choosing the right comb(s) becomes very important. As we mentioned in earlier blogs, there are many types combs to choose from. Selecting the right comb for your hair care regimen, depends on a few factors: hair type, function, occasion and style. No matter what hair type you have, it is very important to have combs with various spacing between the teeth. Additional factors you should consider is knowing the quality and material your comb is made of (please refer to other blogs within this site)

1. Hair type:
• Long or high density hair may choose extra wide tooth comb, these combs are considered large rakes due to the generous spacing between the teeth and overall size and diameter of each individual tooth. The combination of these attributes also helps to comb and detangle wet or dry hair while preventing hair breakage. Combs such as White Horn Wide Teeth and Rosewood Teeth Insert 7-14from our collection are much larger than the average wide tooth combs. Extra wide tooth combs, can tackle the toughest jobs for combing and detangling high density, wet or dry hair.
• Long hair, but relatively low density hair may choose combs with less spacing between the teeth, we have a wide range of selection to fall into this one such as: Peach Wood 3-46, Rosewood Joint 1-14, Boxwood Natural Dyed Purple 7-7, etc
• Short hair, regardless of density, you can choose anything you like.
• Curly hair, depends on the density, might want to choose one row or two rows teech insert combs such as: Rosewood Teeth Insert 4-8, Rosewood Teeth Insert 2-10.
2. Function:
• If you have frequent headache or lack of energy, white horn comb such as White Horn 9-1 andWhite Horn 4-4 will help if you use it on daily basis according to tradition Chinese medicine science.
• If you have dandruff and scalp itching problem, all combs made of boxwood will help.
• If you want to massage your scalp often and stimulate blood circulation, black horn products such as Horn and Rosewood 5-1, Horn and Rosewood 8-1 and Horn and Rosewood 2-3 will have best result.
• If you would like your comb not only just a comb, but also a piece of art, then you might want to look at our collections like: hand painted combs, Natural Dyed combs as well as Lacquer Comb gift sets.
3. Occasion:
