The tail comb is an all-round tool for hairdressers, but it’s also a must-have in every bathroom. The most important feature of the tail comb, as the name suggests, is the tail itself. It’s used to part or section the hair. Especially when creating updos, teasing, or applying highlights, the tail comb is an indispensable styling instrument. Tail combs come in a variety of designs.

What types of tail combs are there?

There are tail combs with standard teeth or teasing teeth. With standard teeth, all the teeth are the same length. With teasing teeth, short and long teeth alternate.

Tail combs are made from different materials. Carbon tail combs are resistant to heat and chemicals and are almost unbreakable. Tail combs can also be made of metal or plastic.

Needle tail combs are also available with one or multiple needles.

Different brands of professional tail combs

Professional tail combs for salon or home use are available from various hairdressing supply manufacturers.

Hercules Sägemann tail comb

The combs made in Germany by Hercules Sägemann are known for their exceptional quality, shape retention, and flexibility. They are crafted from high-grade materials such as natural rubber, carbon, or plastic.

A bestseller from the brand is the Hercules Sägemann Tail Comb 260, available in several colors. It’s made of ebonite, a type of rubber that is both shatterproof and flexible. The comb sits comfortably in the hand, and its rounded teeth are gentle on the scalp.

Jaguar tail comb

The combs from Jaguar Solingen’s A-Line are antistatic and made from high-quality plastic. They are resistant to heat and chemicals.

The handcrafted Jaguar Tail Comb 8.25’’ A-Line features rounded teeth that are gentle on both scalp and hair. It’s sturdy yet flexible, gliding through the hair smoothly without causing damage. 

Comair tail comb

As early as 1970, the brand Comair introduced a high-quality series of combs made from Celcon. Today, Comair is one of the leading manufacturers in the professional hairdressing sector. Combs in a variety of shapes and colors have become an essential part of everyday salon work.

A standout model is the Comair Coloring and Highlighting Comb 717 Blue Profi-Line. As the name suggests, it’s the ideal tool for applying hair color. With this professional Celcon comb, highlights can be created quickly and precisely.

Tangle Teezer tail comb

Although Tangle Teezer refers to it as a brush, the Tangle Teezer Back-Combing Brush Pink definitely deserves a place in our list of tail combs. The compact brush with a handle features dual-layered bristle technology, making it perfect for teasing and creating volume.

Styling with a tail comb

If you want precise lines or a defined parting style, use a professional tail comb to easily guide your hair in the desired direction. Individual strands or sections can be divided very accurately with a needle tail comb.

To highlight individual strands, when coloring or adding highlights, small sections of hair are simply lifted with the tail comb and then divided like with a weaving needle.

Many professional tail combs, with their closely spaced, fine, and differently sized teeth, are ideal for backcombing. To do this, separate small sections from the lower layers of hair and hold them by the ends. Then, using a teasing comb, comb the hair near the roots against the natural growth direction. Finally, smooth the top layer over it and set the hairstyle with a bit of hairspray.
