Straight comb

Straight comb is the plain tool people reach for when hair needs to be separated, smoothed, or sectioned without drama. By our assessment, its strength is exactly that ordinary precision: a fixed row of teeth gives cleaner control than a brush when you are parting, tidying, or working through short hair. The downside is just as simple, because a straight comb does little for detangling dense knots and can feel fussy on very thick or curly hair. In practice it is a small manual tool that depends on hand skill and a bit of patience, not on power or clever mechanics. It sits next to tail combs, wide-tooth combs, and brushes, but it is the everyday straight-line version of the lot. It suits people who want basic control and neat sections, while anyone needing real detangling will want something else.
