JAKARTA - Combing hair is a mandatory activity to make hair neat so that it looks more attractive. One thing that people often forget when combing is the use of this type of comb to comb the hair. In fact, using the right hair comb for hair can make a difference in your look.

A comb that is suitable for someone with long, curly hair will be very different from the type of comb for fine or fine hair. Some combs, such as the round or wide-toothed type, are best for styling, while others are for detangling, and some can even correct frizz. Launching Healthline, Tuesday, December 21, let's get acquainted with the right type of comb according to hair type.

Comb hair detangler

The detangler comb is good for all hair types, even the thickest and curliest hair, and can be used on both wet and dry hair. This comb minimizes damage from combing tied hair, and its thin, flexible bristles make it easy to style children's hair without pain.

Wet comb

The soft, silky bristles of a wet comb are strong enough to tackle the toughest knots, and soft enough not to damage wet hair. The American Academy of Dermatology Association warns against combing wet hair because it is more prone to breakage. However, if you have very textured or curly hair, it's a good idea to brush when wet. Combs usually have heat-resistant bristles that won't melt or break when used with a hairdryer.

Cushion comb

Cushion combs have a soft rubber base and stiff wire or plastic bristles. Rigid bristles are effective at stimulating the scalp and are good for removing dandruff or buildup from styling products, and can also stimulate hair growth.

Thermal comb

Thermal brushes are round combs with loops made of a material that conducts heat, such as ceramic, tourmaline, or titanium. This can speed up drying. Thermal combs are usually used by hairdressers, or people who use hair dryers frequently.

Curved comb

The curved comb is ergonomically designed to conform to the shape of the human head. Most are made of lightweight plastic and are spaced, which makes them a good choice for travel, the gym, or whenever you want to dry your hair quickly.

Paddle comb

The wide loop allows this comb to smooth hair quickly. The paddle comb is suitable for people with long straight hair.

Sasak comb

A long, thin slat comb can be used to separate and lift sections of hair to create more volume.

Wide tooth comb

A wide-toothed comb has thick teeth that are spaced between them. This comb can be used on thick or curly hair when it is wet.
