Best type of combs.

Hi Holly,I would be *very* careful about wood combs, unless they're *really* polished up otherwise tiny rough bits of wood would catch and damage hair. I don't like goody much either, though, 'cause the paint on the plastic chips off so easily and I would think that the chipped off plastic would be hard on hair as well. . . But that's just what I *think* ;-DI would also love to hear about good combs. . .Sorry I couldn't come up with anything more useful ;-(Briony.

Hi, Holly,I thought of you today when I received a catalog containing hair brushes with wooden bristles (called wood pins). I know you inquired about wooden combs, and although the catalog had none of those, I thought you may be interested, anyway.Like Briony, I too, would be concerned about splintering, but these brushes are made of beechwood, which I'm fairly sure is a hardwood, as opposed to a softwood such as pine, which is very prone to splintering.The catalog is, "Natural Balance: Natural Solutions for Health", and their web site is: www.gaiam.com. These brushes are called Wooden Pin Brushes; the travel brush (#43-0035) is $24.00, and the larger paddle brush (#43-0034) is $36.00. There is also a natural bristle brush (#43-0033) for $20.00. All have wooden bases, and the brand is Acca Kappa.According to the description, "The all-natural bristles distribute oil for shine and brilliance." and "The Wooden Pin brushes massage the scalp and reduce the pulling and tearing that lead to split ends."Take care,EthelTake care, Ethel> Hi,> What comb is most getle to hair-I know that wide tooth> is best, but should it be "double-dipped"> plastic, such as "Goody" brand combs, or is> a wood comb better, since I heard that wood keeps away> static?

Hi all. I just wondered if anyone has found some good combs that last and don't damage hair. I have a hard time finding any myself so advice would be greatly appreciated. I've asked some hairstylists in my area but they get a glazed over look when I ask about combs and express concern about those nasty rough edges that tear hair so much. Info on good brushes (besides Mason Peason brushes) would also be wonderful.Thank you!Briony.
