This comb’s spine is designed longer, thicker, and wider for better grip and easier combing. The teeth are spaced wider and designed smaller in diameter for less tension which is great for thicker hair types. The larger size makes this comb popular for stage styling and color work. The round shaped teeth create a loose tension, enabling stylist to create shattered texture in one step and the holes on the spine are great for extra grip and control but also act as a measuring device with 5 holes totaling 2 inches.
