In ancient time the most popular comb in my country were the wooden combs. In the past I used plastic combs. Lately I bought the ox horn comb as I heard it is good for the hair. Besides, it won't create the static electricity, especially in autumn and winter when the weather is very dry. I have used the ox horn comb for some time and I find it comfortable when I am combing my hair. Now I don't want to use my plastic combs any more.

I use a pick, which I guess is a form of a comb. I have curly hair, and with a pick it doesn’t get frizzy when used.

@RubyHawk It is a "type" of comb, that is flat and square shaped, kind of like a painter's brush. It's specifically for curly hair, and a lot of African Americans use them. I would post a picture, but those things never show up for me.

I don't use a comb. I use a brush made of plastic. It took me a while to find the right one for my thick, long hair.

Well I am mostly balled on my head, I give myself a buzz cut at least once a month but for the beard I use a beard comb made of some kind of wood, not sure what it is.

I’ve only ever had plastic ones. I’ve never heard of ox horn ones. Is that what’s in the photo?

I use a plastic comb, besides my hair looks like it needs strengthening so it doesn't fall out.

I do not use a comb I brush my hair. Use what works for you. Enjoy the rest of your day.
