A wooden comb with a few strands of hair on a table

A wide-tooth comb for wet hair

Wet hair stretches and snaps more easily. A wide-tooth comb detangles with less pulling.

A soft brush for dry hair

A brush with soft bristles or rounded tips suits styling. Avoid sharp brushes on the scalp.

Start at the ends

Work out tangles from the ends first, then move up to the roots bit by bit. Do not drag straight from root to tip.

Clean your comb

Remove hair and wash combs regularly so oil and product residue do not go back onto the scalp. Read daily hair care.
