10 Best Hair Combs For Men 2018
It should come as no surprise that men also use combs and in this article on 10 Best Hair Combs For Men 2018, we will be looking at the world of combs for men. Men use combs for the hair on their head, sideburns, mustache, beard, and believe it or not, some even use combs for their chest hair!
Before we take a look at the 10 Best Hair Combs For Men 2018, let’s define the meaning for a comb.
What Is A Comb?
According to Wikipedia, ‘A comb is a toothed device used for styling, cleaning and managing hair and scalp. Combs have been used by humans since prehistoric times, having been discovered in very refined forms from settlements dating back to 5,000 years ago in Persia.[1]
So, you see, the whole idea of a comb as a hair care tool is not a ‘brand new idea’. The various forms might be as well as the various materials used to make the comb, but a novel idea it is not!
The comb is made up of a shaft and some teeth that are crossed ‘at a perpendicular angle to the shaft’.
Materials Used To Make A Comb
Combs can be made out of:
- plastic
- metal
- wood – boxwood, cherry wood, sandalwood, and other fine-grained woods
- ivory
- tortoiseshell
In modern times, though, there has been a concern for the animals which produce the ivory and the tortoiseshell and this practice has been noticeably reduced. The beauty of a wooden comb is the craftsmanship – the finesse and the polished comb.
The standard comb has a wide set of teeth on one end and then a finer set on the other end. Sometimes, a thin handle or a large handle. It all depends on its use.
Types Of Hair Combs
There are various types of combs. We can find:
- wide-tooth detangling combs
- fine-tooth or rat-tail combs
- picks (more commonly referred to as Afro picks)
- nit-combs or flea-combs – to help remove parasites from the hair, also referred to as a fine-tooth comb
How To Clean Your Comb
As a great suggestion, whatever type of combs you may use, it is always a great idea to wash your hair comb and hair brush each time you wash your hair. It just makes more hygienic sense.
The simplest way to do this is to use a little shampoo or simply immerse the comb or brush in a solution of warm water, baking soda, and some vinegar for a few hours. When you return, you will see all the grime settled to the bottom and revealing a new comb or brush!
Benefits Of Using A Comb
There are a few benefits to using a comb on your hair:
- it helps to detangle an otherwise knotted hair
- it can be a source of a scalp or skin massage
- depending on the type of comb, it helps to distribute the body’s natural oils throughout the length of the hair – long or short
- it can also be used as a source of hair decoration
So, basically, the comb is really a simple hair tool which anyone can use whether they have different hair textures or hair length on just about any part of the body.
Let’s take a look at the 10 Best Hair Combs For Men 2018, to see how combs for men stack up against each other.

I never realized that wooden combs were better for your hair than plastic ones. i’ve always used plastic combs cause they were more availible to me than wooden ones. i guess i’ll have to start replacing my plastic combs with wooden ones then. Thank you for your very infromative post Michelle.
Hello there, Brittaney,
Thanks for visiting and thank you for your compliment.
Yes, wooden combs are far better than the hardened plastic combs. They are also eco-friendly. You don’t have to throw your plastic ones out though, Brittaney, just try to purchase wooden ones from here on out. Treat yourself once in a while.
Good luck.
Michelle.
Michelle,
Thanks for such a detailed review of the 10 best brushes. It is amazing to know that some of the brushes reduce static electricity which is a huge problem in the winter. Not all of the brushes reviewed show that they reduce static electricity. Is this due to the material the brush is made of, such as metal, wooden plastic ect?
Lisa
Hello Lisa,
Thanks for stopping by.
Yes, there are so many choices when it comes to hair tools. Yes, you are correct, some brushes will reduce the static in your hair versus others. Another helpful thing is the moisture balance of your hair. This also can determine the amount of static electricity that can be conducted between your hair tools and your hair.
Yes, winter can do a ‘number’ on your hair. The dryness will not help the generation of static, so ensure that you ‘up’ your moisture use during this time.
All the best, Lisa.
Michelle
This is not a topic I have ever thought about before, but knowing how interesting your posts can be, I had to check it out.
I just never thought about men with facial hair – and even chest hair – needing a product to come their beards before. It makes sense.
Where else but here will they get the information they need to make good choices>
As always, very clear and thorough review!
Hello there, Annie.

Even though I am getting thinner and thinner on my head I still do need a comb. You have lots of nice options here. I really had no idea how to effectively clean a comb until I read your tips above. I just throw mine away and buy a new one when it gets dirty but you made a good point about regular cleaning so if I follow your advice maybe I won’t buy so many. Now if I can just keep from losing them haha
Hello there, Craig.
Thanks for stopping by. Your comment made me smile. Yes, as long as you have some hair left, it makes sense to care for it. Yes, I have also found that most men prefer to use a comb until it ‘dies’ or disappears – it must be a ‘guy-thing’. Cleaning your hair tools is very important. I am glad that you found value in this article that you can implement. Good luck on keeping the combs you buy!
Michelle
Hi Michelle,
I had no idea there were so many combs for men available. I would have to buy one for myself because my husband cuts his hair very, very short. Any of these would make great Christmas and birthday presents too.
Thanks, Michelle.

Hi Michelle, whenever you write something it always makes sense and it does work. Although I am bald, I do grow my beard from time to time, so the rocky mountain wooden comb would be a good fit for me.
