Selecting the appropriate hair comb can significantly impact the realization of 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 comprehensive guide, we will examine the various kinds of combs that exist and offer advice for choosing the ideal one for your hair.

Understanding Your Hair Type

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. Various combs are crafted for various hair types and textures, making it vital to select one that complements your hair rather than hinders it.

Choosing the Right Comb for Your Hair Type

Hair Combs for Fine Hair

For those with fine hair, it's best to use a comb with closely spaced teeth. This will prevent the comb from sliding out of your slippery, fine hair. Choose a comb that has teeth which are smooth and rounded, since sharp teeth can harm delicate hair. Our French Handmade hair combs are handcrafted from cellulose acetate, a biodegradable material that is very flexible. These combs are polished and smoothed by hand for smooth, shiny edges, ensuring they won’t 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 their shape prevents any hair from escaping or sliding out.

Hair Combs for Thick Hair

Dear Lykkers, for those with thick hair, a comb with widely spaced teeth is ideal. It's also essential to find a comb with strong teeth that won’t snap. Our thick hair combs are designed with your hair in mind and can withstand a large amount of thick hair without breaking. Our Large Thick Hair Side Comb is perfect for thick hair, with a wide-toothed, curved finish that provides superior comfort and easily contours to the shape of your head.

Which Comb is Best for Frizzy or Curly Hair?

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