"Plastic: They make combs out of plain old plastic. Cheap, but generally not the most comfortable or durable and they are prone to conducting electricity. Aka frizz. Acetate: Most of the combs I recommend here are made from cellulose acetate. It's a sustainable material that is anti-static (no frizz) and comfortable on the scalp. A good acetate comb will last years."
"Metal: Metal combs are ok. Very hygienic and durable, but they are not always the best at cancelling out static. They are also far from gentle. If you have a sensitive scalp, forget it. Teeth Spacing: Typically you are choosing between fine toothed and wide toothed when it comes to comb spacing. If you're not sure which you need, get a comb that gives you multiple options-it may turn out you need both."
Common comb materials include plastic, cellulose acetate, wood, and metal, each with distinct benefits and drawbacks. Plastic combs are inexpensive but can be uncomfortable, less durable, and prone to static, causing frizz. Cellulose acetate is sustainable, anti-static, gentle on the scalp, and durable enough to last years. Wood combs share anti-static and comfort benefits but require more maintenance. Metal combs are hygienic and durable but can be harsh and may not eliminate static. Choose tooth spacing (fine or wide) based on hair type and task, and consider form factors like handles, folding designs, or pocket sizing.
