My hardwood ones cost between 30-35 USD each. And you can't use wooden combs on wet hair. The seamless acetate ones are much cheaper and can be used in the shower: http://www.uncommonscents.com Scroll down to the Rachael Stephens combs. HTH Anais

Is your hair fine? Do you use a wooden comb?

yes i do, but mine is like one i more or less stole from mommy ... the thing must be 20 years old at least. i recently polished it and glued in some teeth it had lost (it's wide toothed). it's very gentle. i recently also bought a wide tooth bone comb and also a bone one with smaller teeth, to cut my hair with. i like them too, seems even smoother than wood. they are from a brand called Gerson.

i always considered my hair as fine (since it''s way smoother than my mother's who's hair is rather coarse). but i think it's pretty normal actually, just fine on the temples and in the neck ... if you get what i mean.
but those natural materials are really supposed to be the gentlest, just be careful with bone ones, i've seen some pretty badly cut ones too in pharmacies (where i found mine as well).

I think some people use a shower comb to distribute conditioner through the hair, but I sure don't! What is a corn one? ???
I got a plastic/rubber comb at Sally's for less than $5. It's not advertised as seamless, but I checked it and it seemed very smooth to me (I later noticed that it did look as if it had been made in a mold, but the seam is so small its barely visible, let alone big/rough enough to tear my hair). It's actually called a "shower comb", so the teeth are big, rather rounded as opposed to flat, and wide.

oops sorry, i meant bone (corne is bone in french, i think in three languages, it can be confusing)

i know that some conditioners say to comb through the hair when it's full of conditioner ... i never saw the point (just ripping out more hairs than i want). my hair seems to untangle on it's own when i rinse it.

I am VERY careful when doing this so that I don't stretch the hair and damage it.
