I have a wonderful hand-cut wooden comb that glides through my hair.  Do any of you have a favorite comb that does not break your hair?

I have a Mebco comb that I just *love*.  I keep meaning to try get some to offer from the boutique, but I just haven't had time.  It's got really wide teeth and every one is bowed, each consecutive one in the opposite direction.  I finally found what I consider to be the perfect comb!

My comb is a very old one, it's black and has long teeth. It's wide-toothed and very helpful for smoothing down wet hair.

I´ve got a Madora detangling comb(purse size),wide-toothed and very smooth.My absolute favourite for detangling my hair after washing it.When it´s dry I NEVER use any comb,only my two favourite brushes from Mason Pearson and Denman.

I never (almost never) use a comb on my hair... only to put a part in it.....I only have a favorite bush ant it is needing replacing :(

I almost never brush my hair as brushing causes splits and flyaways with my fine hair.  What kind of brush do you use?  What is your hair type?  I find it interesting that different types of hair respond so differently to combs and brushes.

As for me,I´ve also got fine hair(lots of it but baby-fine),and I can´t use any kind of comb on dry hair-just rips through it and causes tons of splits. :P I have been using -for the last seven years or so-only my two favourite brushes by Mason Pearson and Denman.Both are boar bristle/nylon mix and are ideal for my hair,very gentle ,no splits or static!

I use both a comb and a brush on my hair. I comb my hair when it's wet and sometimes when the waves are very pronounced so as not to straighten them. I do use a brush most of the time though, as it works well on my thick hair.

I have heard others recommend Mason Pearson and Denman brushes, they must be very nice.  I have a boar bristle brush, but it seems to cause more tangles so I quit using it.  My comb, on the other hand, is a wide toothed wooden comb that has no rough edges and glides through my hair.  No static, no splits.

Yes,you´re right,PURE boar bristle didn´t work for me also(tons of splits).It´s the boar bristle/nylon mix which is great for my hair.

I've never used a boar bristle - it's not really available here - the one I use has metal teeth with little circles on the end (which I think tears the hair?) but it doesn't really harm my hair.
