The type of comb that is used for distribution, molding, scaling, and parting the hair is called

• A. Fine tooth tail comb
• B. Wide-tooth comb
• C. Paddle brush
• D. Rat-tail comb

Answer: (A)

A fine tooth tail comb is best because it combines two essential features for shaping hair: fine teeth that distribute product and smooth the strands evenly, and a long, pointed tail that lets you create precise parts and sectioning without disturbing the rest of the hair. This allows you to distribute product smoothly, mold the shape with control, and part the hair cleanly in different areas. Wide-tooth combs are great for detangling and handling bulky hair but lack the precision for distribution and molding. A paddle brush smooths the surface rather than forming defined parts. A rat-tail comb has a tail for parting but often lacks the fine teeth needed for even distribution and detailed molding.
