WHAT COMB SHOULD I USE?
Do not use an old dressing comb for your hair. If some of the teeth are missing it means that the sharp edges of the broken surface will come into contact with the hair and cause dam-
The outside of the hair is composed of scales, having one end of each scale free —arranged like the tiles on the roof of a house. This is the protective layer and is very hard an'd horny.
Beneath this is constituted softer matter. Therefore, if the outside is damaged in any way, then breaking easily takes place. Choose a tortoiseshell comb for preference, or, if this is too expensive, a good vulcanite comb, obtainable quite cheaply, is the next best. See that there is a sloping groove between the interstices of the teeth of the comb so that there is srio scraping of the hair with a sharp edge when being used.
