Selection tips
Despite the fact that a folding comb is most often used as a travel option, it is necessary to approach its choice no less carefully than buying an everyday accessory.
The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing is the material:
- Plastic is the most inexpensive and most often used material for the manufacture of folding combs. It is lightweight and practical, but has the ability to accumulate static voltage. The hair is electrified, dried and delaminated.
- Metal combs are strong and durable, but they can injure thin and weakened hair. The best option is combs made of silicone, carbon fiber, hard rubber or wood.
The height and frequency of the teeth also matter. For a short haircut, a comb with frequent teeth is suitable, a comb with large, rarely located teeth will perfectly comb long and thick hair.
To avoid injury to the scalp and hair, it is best to choose models with rounded teeth.
Folding massage brushes combined with a mirror are useful in everyday life. They are compact, fit perfectly into a handbag and help to quickly straighten your hair and put yourself in order.
Dual combs with different number of teeth are very convenient and practical. This model can be used for daily care, styling and hair cutting.

Such a beautiful, stylish accessory may well become an original present. The folding model, like the regular one, needs constant and careful care.
