What is a comb? What are its advantages?
A comb is a ” comb ” with teeth arranged on a thin board. In Japan, it is called by either name, but professionals such as barbers and hairdressers often call it a comb. Basically, a comb is an item used for combing and parting hair, and is also useful for applying water-soluble styling products to hair in men’s hairstyling. The advantage of combs is that they can achieve a finish more similar to a professional hairstyle than a hand comb.
Difference between a comb and a brush
Although combs and brushes are often mentioned in the same sentence, they differ not only in shape but also in effectiveness. A comb tends to leave hair with a straight, silky finish, whereas a brush follows the shape of the head, creating a naturally rounded volume and silhouette. The brush has a wide surface, so it can be used for lifting hair into updos, curls, and blow-drying. Since these hairstyles are more common among women, a small comb is recommended for men’s styling.
There are five major types of combs! What are the features and advantages of each?
There are five major types of combs, each of which has its own advantages, so it is a good idea to know what features you are looking for. Here are the features of the five types of combs.
Type of comb (1) “Tail and ring comb
This is a versatile type that can be easily applied to styling, such as parting or creating a bun. The thin handle allows for fine-tuning, making it easy to use even for those who are not very dexterous with their hands.
Type of comb (2) “Cut comb
As the name suggests, this comb is used for cutting hair, and many people have seen hairstylists using it with scissors or clippers. It is useful not only for self-cutting at home, but also for styling hair, taking advantage of the fact that it has both dense and coarse teeth. Compared to the previous version, this comb does not have a thin handle, so it requires a bit more skill to turn it around in small circles, but the breadth of coverage provided by the two types of teeth makes it a good choice for those looking for a comb that focuses more on styling.
Type of Comb (3) “Mesh Comb”
The mesh comb is recommended for styling barber styles. Its advantage is that it has coarse teeth, so it can be smoothly slid and blended in even with a sticky wet styling product such as pomade. As shown in the image, there are 2-way and 3-way types with different coarseness, so you can change the atmosphere of your hair subtly, from a tight style to a slightly loose and natural style. They are also effective for permed styles, as they do not snag easily.
Type of comb (4) “Jumbo comb
A coarse jumbo comb is recommended for people with long hair that tangle easily, people with long permed hair, and those who are concerned about damage. It is characterized by its ability to comb hair with minimal friction, and is useful for quickly combing hair before and after shampooing, or when you want to blend in a treatment. The overall weight and rounded teeth can also be used for scalp massage.
Type of comb (5) “Folding comb
For those who want to quickly style their hair on the go, we recommend the folding comb, which is easy to carry around. It is compact enough to fit in a small bag, such as a jacket pocket or clutch bag. Many items are equipped with pleasant features that will scratch an itch, such as a type with multiple teeth of different coarseness and a type that can fix an open comb in place.
Can Daiso and other hundred-yen products be used?
As it turns out, many hundred-yen items can be used. To begin with, many combs are inexpensive products, so it can be said that there is no big difference unless you choose a brand or high-end material. The most important thing is to find a comb that is easy to use for you, so if a hundred-yen comb matches your style, it is probably the best choice.
