Here are some more information for Hair Comb:
Dogs love our attention and what better way to show them that we love them, then by brushing or combing out the mats and dead hair in their coats to make them look and feel better. To do this you'll need to choose the brush or comb that was designed for your dogs type of coat.
Below, I have listed and described some of the different types of brushes and combs so that you'll get an idea of what would work best on your dogs coat.
Types of Brushes
Soft Bristled Brush - This kind of brush works best for short-coated dog. This brush won't damage the skin when it makes contact and is perfect for removing dead hair. When you are brushing your dog with these soft bristles, it helps spread the skin's natural oils, which makes the coat shinier and healthier.
Slicker Brush - Probably the most common dog brush. It can be used on any coat. It works well on the long curly coats to help work out tangles or dead hair and is also good to use on a soft-coated dog to help keep the straight silky hair real soft and shiny. The slicker brush has a wooden handle and flat rectangular back, with rows of bristles that are slightly bent at the top. These are 'pokey' bristles, so care must be taken not to injury the dogs skin.
Pin Brush - Best for a thick-coated dog or a long wavy coat. This brush has thicker wire pins, resembling 'straight pins'. This is a very 'pokey' brush. It's used to go deeper into the hair to pull out the 'under-coat' that causes matting and to pull out dead hair. Use care with this brush. Don't rack it across the dogs skin, as it will hurt.
Types of Stripper Combs
Shedding Comb - Used for thick-coated dogs. There are different styles. This comb usually has a thick rounded handle, and looks like a regular comb, except that it has long teeth with short teeth alternating in between the long ones. You can use this comb to untangle hair, remove debris and loose dead hair.
German Mat Comb - This is another stripper comb. This is a stainless steel comb with 9 stainless steel serrated blades with blunted ends for safety, and a tapered wooden handle. This comb slices through any matted and tangled hair easily.
Undercoat Rake Comb - Another stripping comb. This is called a rake comb because, as you may have already guessed, it resembles a mini rake. The rake comb has thick medal teeth that grab the undercoat and pulls it out easily. This comb is especially good for breeds with thick heavy undercoats.
Shedding Blade - Another style of stripper combs. This tool was designed to remove dead hair, which reduces shedding. The shedding blade can be use on either short coats or on thick-coated dogs. It has a 6" long oval blade with tiny teeth all around the oval shape.
Other Types of Combs
Steel Comb - This comb is a high-quality grooming comb. Used a lot by handlers in the ring for the last minute touch-ups. It's a sturdy 7" comb that is rust resistant and is also easy to disinfect. It has rounded teeth, which makes it glide through the coat without irritating the skin. It lifts and removes tangles and any dead hair.
Flea Comb - Now we have a comb that people hope they never have to use. It's the dreaded flea comb. This may have a plastic or wooden handle on top of very closely-knit row of medal teeth, or can be made of all plastic. As you comb through your dogs hair, it forces the fleas and eggs up between the tight rows of teeth. It's best to do this outside and have soapy water to drown the fleas in.
Now you have an idea of what kind of brush or comb to use. No matter what type of coat your dog has, there's a grooming tool to make your life and his, easier.

Is it safe to comb my hair with a plastic comb?
I'm trying to grow long hair, and all these websites suggest I use boar bristle brushes and stuff like that. I was just wondering if a regular old plastic comb is okay. It won't kill my hair, will it?
lol...probably,no it wont, they just suggest boar bristle brushes because the more bristly soft brushes are gentler on ur hair...i grow my hair all the time which im doing now (just got my ends trimmed a bit yesterday) and i use a cheap ouchless brush from goody though my hair is healthy as can be. if ur hair has trouble growing i suggest investing in a gentler brush, but if it grows with out problems and u see a length difference everytime u got it cut and it was a few times a year, then its all good...hair on avg groes a half an inch a month...or 2 inches ever 4 months...when its a slow grower it will take a lot longer.... that is .1 inch a month...

THE swinging 60’s was a “coming of age” in Britain and the United States, and it has been celebrated with a musical that captured the essence of those days, complete with big hair, high heels and short hemlines.
