10 Hair Combs You Had No Idea You Actually Needed

Remember the agonizing hours spent as a child detangling your hair after a bath? More times than not, you probably left a little teary-eyed and tender-headed—which is exactly why we've compiled the best combs for women. You may wonder how there could possibly be enough variety to create an entire Top 10 list, but there certainly is. Whether you have a ton of fine hair or tightly wound coils, you're going to need a comb designed for your specific type of hair. (That is, of course, assuming you want to cut down on time spent and pain induced!) Try them in the shower to distribute your conditioner, put one in your beach bag for a day at the pool, or use one combing up to infuse nutrient dense oils to the tip of your strands. There are plenty of reasons to work combs into your hair care routine, and your tresses will be all the more healthy for it! Opening image: @frommbeauty
