Many people don’t realize that there is a difference between a comb and a brush. I often find that using a set of combs helps me get rid of tangles in my hair more effectively – with less breakage and, luckily, not as much pain.
Combs are versatile accessories that easily fit into your handbag. I always keep a few in the bathroom and at my dresser too. Feeling unsure about which combs will give you the best results? Take a look at these to help you make a decision.
Onedor Wooden Hair Comb
“It’s the sandalwood and craftsmanship that makes the difference! I’ve always used inexpensive wood and plastic combs because I didn’t know there was anything better. Then, I splurged and bought one of the sandalwood brushes and voila, my hair showed me that there is a difference and it’s worth the price of these sandalwood pieces. I have long, fine textured, thick hair that tangles, gets oily and mats together and gets wispy when it’s dry. It’s challenging to keep it looking good and these combs smooth it out, getting rid of the tangles and fly aways without engaging excess sebum production to make it oily.”
“All that and the delicate scent of the sandalwood has changed my hair care time into a pleasant experience. I’ll never be without one of these. Don’t let the price scare you, they’re worth every penny.” — Amazon Customer
Paul Mitchell Pro Tools Detangler Comb
“Best darn comb I’ve ever had. Originally received it as a gift over 20 yrs ago and wore that one out. Happy day when I found it on Amazon! I have long thicker wavy hair, it easily tames the tangles after a shower. Bought one for my daughter too and planning on buying one for my niece. So much better than breaking hair with a brush.” — Amazon Customer
12 Pieces Hair Combs Set
“After having had multiple dollar store pocket combs break in my back pocket I decided to get a bunch of them. To my surprise, these combs have the perfect blend of firmness and flexibility to last a long time. I should be set now for years.” — Amazon Customer
Colorful 5 Pack Comb Set
“I bought these combs for myself. I have a lot of thick wavy long hair. I typically don’t like using brushes because my hair gets frizzy. These combs are great. They are sturdy and a good value for money. They have a bit of a bend as you use them but they don’t feel flimsy like they’re about to break. I love the bright colors because they are easy to find if my nieces borrow them and don’t put them back and easy to find in a beach or camping bag. I will buy them again.” — Amazon Customer
American Comb 45-Piece Pack
“There are so many pieces! I bought this because it was the cheapest price per piece and I just needed one small comb to brush my daughters hair. If we lose them, we know where to find them. We can also stick a comb in random bags of we are out and about.” — Liem
8 Pcs Xuanl Wooden Hair Comb Pack
“I’ve had these for a couple months now. I use these on my thick curly, 4b-4c hair. I got tired of plastic combs that would lose teeth or snap in half all together. I of course still have to section it. I start with the larger tooth then use the smallest tooth while detangling curly. No pulling or snagging. I keep the medium handled comb in my console for travel needs. Gave one to my brother who has short curly hair. Combs work on curly or straight. Don’t ruin my waves if I’ve styled with heat either. Combs are very sturdy do not bend at all. Even when detangling in the shower with conditioner they are super easy to rinse and they don’t get that annoying product build up between the teeth either. Dry super fast. No discoloration. Super smooth finish. I would say will buy again but I don’t foresee needing to replace these for a long, long time, if ever. Very impressed.” — Amazon Customer
DOTING Wide Tooth Comb
“This comb is huge. It’s 10″ by 2.25″ making it very comfortable in the hand. The thines are extra wide and this comb is so smooth no tugging whatsoever. I have very fine baby hair, a ton of it, so much so people mistake my hair for being thick or course. Anyway it snarls quickly this comb glides right threw my snarls and the comb itself is super thick and super smooth. I had a similar comb to this that I loved and I lost it and that is what made me look for this comb but this comb is far superior to the one I used to love. This comb is amazing and would be great with any type of hair most especially appreciated by unruly, snarly hair. It may be a few $ more than other combs but this comb will last a lifetime and be your hair’s new best friend.” — Eva
Breezelike Wooden Round Comb
“Combs have always been sort of incidental and forgettable to me. However, I really love this one. It doesn’t tangle my hair and it’s a good quality piece, rather than plastic that’s going to break in 3 months and sit in a landfill somewhere. I can imagine having this comb in 20 years. It also smelled great due to the sandalwood, though eventually that wore off (so now I occasionally rub the wood with sandalwood oil, just because I like the scent). This brand also has a Handmade Fine Tooth Teasing Tail Comb that I bought to go with it. I love it just as much.” — K. M. Johnson
Patelai Large Hair Detangling Comb
“This is the only kind of comb I will use as I have very thick and long hair. This comb de-tangles quickly and easily without grabbing/ripping too many locks. Remember always to start at the bottom of tangles and work your way up toward the scalp to de-tangle! Great combs.” — April
Pink Woolf Organic Neem Wood Comb
“This is a very good product, its plastic free, natural product. Have less hair fall after use, it also comes in eco friendly packaging. Go for it. Good product.” — Amazon Customer
