Pressing Combs With Less Space Between The Teeth Produce A? ›

Final answer:

Explanation: When using a comb with teeth spaced closely together, the primary action it performs is removing definition from the curl. This is because the close teeth act to separate the hair strands more finely, thereby disrupting the curls or waves and making them less distinct.

When the client's scalp is classified as flexible, it is important to remember to **use a lighter comb** to press the hair satisfactorily. This is because a lighter comb will be gentler on the scalp and hair, ensuring that the pressure applied is appropriate for the flexibility of the scalp.

Diastema is the clinical term for a gap between teeth. While gaps can develop anywhere in your mouth, diastema is most common between your two front teeth (midline diastema). Gaps between your teeth may be small or large. Diastema usually doesn't have a negative impact on your oral health.

Fine teeth spacing

Very handy for picking up fine eyebrow, beard and moustache hairs around the face, for fluffy or feathery ears, lifting and fluffing round teddy-bear heads, for feathery tails, for checking your work at the end of the groom, and for toy breeds like Pomeranian legs.

A hot comb (also known as a straightening comb or pressing comb) is a metal comb that is used to straighten moderate or coarse hair and create a smoother hair texture. A hot comb is heated and used to straighten the hair from the roots. It can be placed directly on the source of heat or it may be electrically heated.

The long teeth with soft, rounded tips effortlessly glide through the hair with less pulling, help speed up the detangling process and reduce breakage, while the flexible two-tiered teeth provide a deeper detangle to help remove shed hair and stubborn knots, leaving your pattern popping.

For regular use, you can opt for a paddle brush or a wide-toothed comb, and if you are looking to style your hair, a tail comb or a circular comb would be the best choice. If you have curly hair, choose a detangling comb, while for straight hair, a fine-toothed comb works best.

What's the space between the teeth of a comb called? ›

Sometimes, according to the OED, combs were referred to as redding-combs. I personally would call the space between the teeth of a comb a rut. It's the furrow or gap left between the hard material.

A wide-tooth comb easily detangles knots in your hair. It is specifically recommended for those who have long and curly hair. While removing knots and detangling, one often loses a lot of hair while using a normal comb. However, a wide-tooth comb helps detangle your hair more effectively without losing a lot of hair.

A fine tooth comb is known for its close set of teeth, ideal for getting hair perfectly straight. If you have straight hair, a fine tooth comb is your best option as its close teeth allow it to settle hair in place. However, a fine tooth comb isn't always the best idea for those with thicker or tangled hair.

A comb with more space between the teeth produces a lighter press. Explanation: When the teeth of a comb are spaced further apart, it allows for less resistance and contact with the hair or scalp. This results in a gentler and lighter pressure when combing through hair.

Name and describe the three types of hair presses. Soft press: which removes about 50 -60 percent of the curl. Medium press: removes 60-75 percent of the curl. Hard press: removes 100 percent of the curl.

Pick up hard rubber or other non-flammable comb to hold between client's scalp and hot iron, in order to protect client from burns.

Benefits of using a Wide Tooth Comb

Makes detangling super easy - a normal comb has small spacing between the teeth which is the last thing you need when you're taking on large knots or tangles. A wide tooth comb has wide-set teeth, meaning it can glide through hair effortlessly.

Wide Tooth Combs Help Prevent Breakage

Brushing your hair removes tangles but the constant tugging motion pulls at your strands, causing hair breakage. A wide tooth comb is much kinder on hair thanks to the wide space between the teeth, which allows it to minimize friction.
