Title: Combs! Share your stories please
Post by yaku on Sep 4th, 2007 at 7:03pm
Hi! :) I am curious (read: Desperately in need of advice/your experiences). I have a couple questions too, that you may have insight into.
I have a large plastic Revlon comb from Walgreens, wide toothed, that I use to comb my hair right when I get out of the shower in the morning. I do not remember where, but I read that it is best to use a wide tooth comb to best detangle hair when wet, rather than dry. Lately I am looking for a horn comb, but find so many websites!!:

Those are a few of the better ones.

Anyway my questions are:
1)Should I not be combing my hair AT ALL when wet no matter what?
2) Should I be showering at night (with ample time for hair to dry before I lay down for the night) instead of a half hour before work?
3) Can I use a horn comb when hair is wet (bad for horn comb?)? (if I should be using a comb when hair is wet at all in the first place)
4) Who scritches here? Is it for everybody?

Thanks so much!

Hey, Yaku  :)

Any comb that you pick up at a drugstore is going to be loaded with damaging seams, so I would advise you to discontinue using it at once. Sadly, I have no advice on horn combs, since the only combs that I use are seamless cellulose.

As to your options, I'd suggest the first one. I never comb my hair when it's wet, as it breaks very easily. But if that isn't a problem for you, it might be fine.

I use my Heavenly Harvest horn combs the most.  I do use them on my wet/damp hair, and then dry them with a towel.

I also have Ric's wooden combs which I like to use in the winter as they produce the least amount of static.  The wood combs should not be used on wet or damp hair and must be oiled/waxed regularly to prevent the wood from cracking.

I have a plastic wide toothed comb that I filed the seams on so that I can use this in the shower to detangle my hair.
