Folding comb
At all times, well-groomed hair has been a sign of health and beauty. When styling your hair, it is important to choose the right comb for you. Today, the world of haberdashery provides a huge range of hair care models, including folding ones.
In ancient times, combing tools were made from tortoise shell, ivory, wood and coral. It took a lot of effort and time to make a comb. The teeth of the comb were polished by hand and served as an adornment for women.
A bit of history
In 1869, two brothers John and Isaiah Hyatt invented a material called celluloid, which was successfully used in the production of scallops. The device for combing became available to many segments of the population, as it was made from this cheap material.
In the modern world, there are many models of combs, but two types remain the main ones: a massage brush and a comb. A voluminous, round-shaped brush with teeth of different sizes is used for styling hair. The comb is used to comb out loose hair, and in some cases to remove parasites.
An advantage in the manufacture of folding combs is the natural material, such as wood or animal bone. Plastic, polypropylene, celluloid, various metals (aluminum, stainless steel) are also used in production.There are combined options, for example, a metal base with a plastic handle, and vice versa. The wooden model must be well polished.
Compactness and convenience are the attributes of modernity
The foldable comb is especially easy to use. It easily fits in a women's handbag, without contacting its base with external objects. The folded hygiene device is clean and takes up little space, so the folding type of combs is popular with most people.

A compact, easy-to-fold comb with a mirror is indispensable for modern women due to its practicality. This type is comfortable to use on trips and in training. The mirror can be used when applying makeup outside the home.
There are several types of folding combs:
- Double comb (large and small teeth on different bases).
- Butterfly (flat base, closed on both sides like a case).
- Mirror (the base is connected to the mirror part on the handle).
- Dangerous (comb with a blade).
- Multifunctional (several models in one copy).
- Pointed (at one end a point for styling is adapted).
- Combined (brush and comb).
Advantages
The folding comb is very popular among hairdressers. The most convenient to use, the "clamshell" fits easily in the hand and is an indispensable tool for a specialist. Folds and unfolds simply, with just one hand.
When combing long hair, the emphasis falls on the handle of the device, so it is important that the comb has a comfortable handle in working order.A folding model will last longer if it is made of metal, since plastic fasteners often do not withstand loads and break quickly.
The mirror part of the hygienic device must be firmly fixed and preferably covered with a lid or case. It will be more comfortable to use models of rounded shapes, without sharp corners and protruding parts.
It is important that when folding the comb has access to air. A tightly closed model will encourage the accumulation of germs. A blown or skeletal comb will "breathe" thanks to the holes in the body. Also, when drying hair, air circulation will take place in full, which will save time.
The benefits of folding models:
- Ease of storage
- Space saving
- compactness
- Practicality
- Additional features (on some models)
- The ability to always carry with you
A comb is a personal hygiene item and in order for it to last a long time, the user must follow some recommendations. Ideally, you need to have several types of combs. Do not unnecessarily open and close the mechanism and store in the same bag with heavy items. Also, brushes should be regularly cleaned with a special solution and after the cleaning procedure, wait for it to dry naturally.
