Just like hairbrushes, combs are an essential tool for your hair. But when faced with a large selection of accessories on the market, it is sometimes difficult to decide which one to go for. Styling, detangling, backcombing… Learn how to choose the right comb for each purpose.

A wide-tooth comb for detangling your locks

Its main aim is to get rid of knots, dead hairs and build-up of impurities. The thicker your hair is, the wider the comb’s teeth should be. If your locks are curly or frizzy, opt for a comb with extra wide teeth and always use it on damp hair, working from the tips up to the roots. This ensures pain-free and quick detangling, whilst preserving your curls’ shape.

Another benefit: the wide-tooth comb means that you can apply treatments and styling products (masks, styling mousse, and conditioner) evenly along the length of the hair fibre. Finally, it allows you to soften your hair at any time during the day.

A tail comb for styling

Recognisable by its fine tip, this is the perfect tool for creating sophisticated hairstyles as well as slicked-back ponytails structured by a middle parting or multiple sleek braids. Maximum precision guaranteed, it quickly separates your hair and marks out clear sections.

A fine-tooth comb to create volume

With its fine teeth, this one is your best ally if your hair is lacking in volume. It allows you to boost the volume of short hair whilst adding movement. It is also a favourite amongst hairdressers for backcombing, whatever the hair’s texture, by combing the hair in the opposite way to which it grows. A technique which instantly adds hold and gives volume to the hairstyle.

Besides its volumizing abilities, the fine-tooth comb can smooth down the surface of the hair for flawless hairstyles. If you wish to create a sleek look, spray hairspray on your comb, then carefully comb your hair… Say goodbye to lumps, unruly strands and frizz! Finally, it can also be used to style baby hair, one of the key trends this season.
