Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: FUL Wide Tooth Comb
Say you are a contender for ‘Tangliest Hair on the Planet’. And say – we are talking about Jo, here – the sound of a Tangle T*ezer is right up there with chalk on a blackboard, in terms of irritating sounds. In this case, there’s really only one solution: a wide-toothed detangling comb.
Really brilliant for teasing out tangles, smoothing through a hair mask or conditioner, and – if your hair likes to tie itself in knots overnight, as Jo’s does – for a first-thing-in-the-morning grooming session.
But whatever your hairtype, some experts believe that a wide-toothed comb is the best way to smooth out hair, post-washing. This is a brilliant version: the FUL Wide Tooth Comb has totally smooth edges, perfect placement of ‘teeth’, and durable enough to last you a lifetime.
And don’t just take Jo’s word for it. There’s an endorsement on this comb, meanwhile, from Live True’s Senior Colourist, Stéphane Ferreira, who says…
… it’s useful for applying just the right amount of product, whether a serum or even purple shampoo or conditioner, for even coverage. He suggests applying to the comb, rather than to the hair or scalp itself – ‘a great way to apply a sheer amount of product and evenly distribute it onto hair.’
… ‘Unlike with fine tooth combs, wide tooth combs create less tugging and pulling, which if your scalp is feeling irritated or inflamed, can only exacerbate problems. For those experiencing psoriasis or eczema, the wide teeth make for easier cleaning, helping to avoid irritation from a build-up of product and impurities.’
…. for curls and coils, meanwhile, ‘Once your hair is scrunched with your favourite curly hair products, use the wide tooth comb to gently brush through wet curls, being careful not to comb over one section more than once. As the teeth are thick and set widely apart, this adds definition to the curls without frizz.’
… and then there’s what Jo uses it for, of course. Explains Stéphane, ‘The wide tooth comb is perfect for gentle detangling during your wash routine. With either a conditioner or hair mask applied to wet hair, the comb can be used to gently detangle any snags without breakage, as well as disperse the product more evenly throughout the hair. It can also be used during rinsing to help ensure the product is thoroughly rinsed from the hair and so you don’t gain any more tangles while doing so.’
And not a whisper of a ‘chalk-on-blackboard’ sound effect, either.
