This metal pik comb features long, widely-spaced tines built for lifting, separating, and detangling curly, coily, and afro-textured hair -- a purpose-built tool for this hair type rather than a general-purpose comb. It's best used on dry, already-styled hair, such as after a twist-out or blowout, rather than on soaking-wet curls, since picking wet hair is a common cause of breakage and can disrupt curl pattern.
Insert the tines near the roots and lift gently outward in sections to build volume, rather than dragging through knots or tangles. Because the tines are rigid metal, use a light hand -- forcing the comb through resistant hair can scratch the scalp or snap strands rather than gently lift them.
