Foldable comb
At all times, well-groomed hair was a sign of health and beauty. For hair styling it is important to choose a suitable comb. To date, the world of haberdashery provides a huge range of models for hair care, including folding.
In ancient times, combing devices were made from tortoise shell, ivory, wood and coral. It took a lot of time and effort to make a comb. The teeth of the comb were polished by hand and served as an ornament for women.
A bit of history
In 1869, the two brothers John and Isaiah Hyatt invented a material called celluloid, which they successfully began to use in the production of scallops. The combing device became available to many segments of the population, as it was made from this cheap material.
In the modern world there are many models of hairbrushes, but two types remain the main ones: a massage brush and a comb. The volumetric, round-shaped brush with different sizes of teeth is used for styling hair. Scallop is used to comb out lost hair, and in some cases, to remove parasites.
The advantage in the manufacture of folding combs is a natural material, such as: wood or animal bone. Also used in the production of plastic, polypropylene, celluloid, various metals (aluminum, stainless steel). There are combined options, for example, a metal base with a plastic handle, and vice versa. Wooden model should be polished with high quality.
Compactness and convenience - the attributes of modernity
Special ease of use is a folding comb. It easily fits in the women's handbag, without contacting its base with external objects. The hygiene device in the folded state is clean and takes up little space, so the folding type of combs is popular with most people.

The compact, easily folding hairbrush with a mirror is indispensable for modern women with its practicality. This view is comfortable to use on trips and in training. The mirror can be used when applying makeup outside the home.
There are several types of folding combs:
- Double comb (large and small teeth on different bases).
- Butterfly (flat base, closing on both sides as a case).
- Mirror (the base is connected to the mirror part on the handle).
- Dangerous (comb with blade).
- Multifunctional (several models in one copy).
- Pointed (at one end fit the tip for laying).
- Combined (brush and comb).
Benefits
Foldable comb is very popular among hairdressers. The most convenient to use, "clamshell" fits easily in the hand and is an indispensable tool for the specialist. It develops and unfolds simply, almost with one hand movement.
When combing long hair, the emphasis falls on the handle of the device, so it is important that the comb should have a comfortable handle in working condition. The folding model will last longer if it is made of metal, as often plastic fasteners do not withstand the loads and quickly break.
The mirror part of the hygienic appliance should be firmly fixed and preferably covered with a lid or case. It will be more comfortable to use models of rounded shapes, without sharp corners and protruding parts.
It is important that when folding the comb has access to air. A tightly closed model will encourage microbial aggregation.A blown or skeletal comb will “breathe” thanks to the holes in the body. Also, when drying hair, air circulation will take place in full, which will save time.
The benefits of folding models:
- Convenience Store
- Space saving
- Compactness
- Practicality
- Additional functions (in some models)
- The ability to carry always with you
The hairbrush is a personal hygiene item and in order for it to last a long time, the user must follow some recommendations. Ideally, you need to have several types of combs. You should not needlessly open and close the mechanism and store in the same bag with heavy objects. Also, the brushes should be regularly cleaned with a special solution and after the cleansing procedure, wait for drying naturally.
