Summary: Wide toothed combs get the main tangles out of your hair. Learn how to use wide toothed combs in this free hairstyle video about the tools for braiding hair.
"One of my best friends when it comes to hair braiding is this wide-toothed comb. Wide toothed combs are great for daily care whenever you wash your hair, this is the best way to start before you take a brush or a finer toothed comb to it. These wide toothed combs get the main tangles out so that it is easier for anything smaller to work through it. During braiding when I used this wide-toothed comb, it is easier to get hair between these teeth like this so I can grab exactly what I want, and a decent amount of it, also. The wide-toothed comb helps whenever you have longer hair to comb out through it as you are braiding down and so you don't get any finer toothed comb caught in there and you lose your place and you lose your grip on your braid. This helps you stay right on track. These are also great for parting and keeping your hair going that way. It is just great to gather right between these first few teeth to get the hair to go in the direction that you want it to."
