Not sure which Kent Salon comb fits your routine? Compare the Pintail, Cutting, Tapered, and Styling combs to find the right tool for precise cuts, sectioning, or everyday styling.
Quick answer
For precision cutting, choose the Cutting Comb (KSC04). For sectioning and teasing, the Pintail Comb (KSC01) is ideal. The Styling Comb (KSC06) works best for everyday styling, while the Tapered Comb (KSC08) suits fine detail work.
What makes Kent Salon combs different?
All four combs are hand-finished from hard rubber with seamless teeth that glide through hair without snagging or damaging the cuticle. They also feature FLEXINITE technology, meaning they resist high heat and chemicals—so you can use them with hot tools or styling products without worry.
Key trade-offs to consider
Length and width vary: the Pintail Comb is longest (250 mm) for sectioning, while the Tapered Comb is shortest (183 mm) for detail work. The Styling Comb is widest (42 mm), good for distributing product through larger areas. The Cutting Comb balances length and width for precision cutting but lacks the metal pin of the Pintail Comb.
How to choose your Kent Salon comb
- Need to section and tease?: Pick the Pintail Comb (KSC01). Its metal pin parts hair cleanly, and the 250 mm length gives you plenty of reach.
- Cutting at home or in the salon?: Go with the Cutting Comb (KSC04). The 210 mm length and 29 mm width are ideal for precision cuts and scissor work.
- Everyday styling and detangling?: Choose the Styling Comb (KSC06). Its wider body (42 mm) helps distribute product and smooth hair quickly.
- Fine detail or short hair?: The Tapered Comb (KSC08) at 183 mm is compact and great for close work around ears or nape. If you need both sectioning and cutting, the Pintail Comb and Cutting Comb make a practical duo.
