What is a "fine-tooth comb"?
A fine-tooth comb is a personal care tool used for grooming and styling hair. It has closely spaced teeth that are designed to glide through the hair, effectively detangling knots and smoothing out strands. This type of comb is particularly suitable for managing and styling fine or thin hair, as it helps to create precise partings, sleek hairstyles, and smooth finishes. The fine teeth of the comb allow for precise control and can be used for teasing or backcombing to add volume and texture to the hair. It is a versatile tool that is commonly used in hairstyling routines for achieving polished and well-groomed looks.
