Brush vs. Comb

I guess this is a question more for the guys to decide then, since I have never really seen a woman use a comb on her hair, but maybe I just haven't seen enough women.

Which do you prefer, which is better for hair, and why?

well at least i'm not a *dumb* ass.

i prefer combs. for some reason using a brush never worked for me.

i use my fingers - fingers and a combination of wax at the start of the week and shower water throughout the week - no shampoo - it kills the vibe - by friday or saturday i have really great manageable hair that i only need to wet and move (fingers) to be able to sculpt in to a great barnet - so brush vs comb - neither they are both tools of the man

don't use either.

There's a lot of love and attention going into those do's boys! I'm all for the dollop of margarine, lightly teased with the finger tips and I'm ready to rock! Comes in handy with the bread rolls during a meal too.

BRUSH - a comb isn't going to get through my giant thick mass of hair.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i use a comb if i can ever be bothered to comb conditioner through my hair when i'm washing it. but when it's dry ALWAYS a brush - like sarah my hair is so think that a mere comb cannot do the job. my favourite brush is a MASSIVE paddle-like thing from Aveda that also comes in handy for swatting aubrey's bum with if he is annoying me (he loves it really hehe)

Comb, for my fine, blonde girly hair. Comb all the way. Good for getting the parting straight for bunches, ponytails and braids. I only once ever had a brush that was any good for partings, and only because it had a super-pointed handle. Brushes make my hair turn into a poofy, flyaway mass, and that is bad.

hair is great - i love the different styles i've had through the years - now i've found a happy medium somewhere in between messy and cultured (meltured) but i may shave it alll off again as this was liberating and easy and v relaxing

― born clippy, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I haven't got out of the habit I developed when my hair was very short of just using my fingers, but it is down to my shoulders now so this clearly will not do for very much longer (as it were ho ho.) But whatever I use it still looks a mess.

― Archel, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Fingers when it gets tangled, otherwise neither. I'd be in danger of developing a "style".

― Graham, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

is there such a thing as a beard come?

― anthony, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(pick)

I haven't combed my hair for years - pH34r m3!

― DG, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am valiantly ignoring the impulse to make a Ewing joke involving the phrase "beard come". I use a brush when my hair is long enough to warrant it.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Neither.

― Sean, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sigh. It irritates me how boys can get away with not brushing/combing their hair. I was talking to Dan (not the one here, but the one I used to have the crush on) about his Dirty Dronerock Boy hair, and he was saying how he had used a comb twice in his adult life, and one time was only cause his girlfriend wanted to cut his hair. Evil harpie bitch, how I hated her. Dan's snarly tangled greasy dronerock hair was the best thing about him. Sigh ...

Boys who do not comb their hair = UTTER CLASSIC. Girls who do not comb their hair = smelly, nasty hippie cows.

Comb for keeping the curls in, paddle brush for making it wavy.

― Anna, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Brush, though mainly just for getting the tangles out. The rest takes care of itself.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

fingers and whatever styling goo is handy. (though born clippy's answer is scarily close to what mine should be)

― Ronan, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Comb. This clearly explains what i've been doing wrong all my life.

― Jeff W, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

who needs either, when certain brands of bleaching product do it all for you. at least that's what i now firmly believe.

― Alan Trewartha, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

DEAR GOD KATIE AND KATE ARE DIFFERENT PERSONS!!! NOW IM ALL CONFUSED ABOUT IT!!! AAARGH!

Have you been reading "How To Be A Skanky Ho Boy For Beginners"? Step one, who needs to bother with anything so mundane as the care and cleanliness of your hair when you're too busy contemplating foucault and the future of modern art. Besides, peroxide is a perfectly acceptible substitute for shampoo.

― kate, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, Kate and Katie are different people. Also not to be confused with Kate Winslett, Cate Blanchet or Kate St.John. Hundreds of Kates. Thousands of Kates. MILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF KATES. The Army Of Kate! Kicking butt and taking names and COMING TO GET YA!!!

― kate, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

um, i was talking about comb v brush. (and i forgot to mention having short hair helps).

― Alan Trewartha, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

b-but foucault HAD no hair

― mark s, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Some of us don't have to worry about this. I am about to get the clippers out and fit the #1 little plastic thingy and make myself look tidy (and nearly bald) once again.

― Martin Skidmore, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

foucault = duncan goodhew

― jel --, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

short hair = EVIL.

Come on, you people, let your POWER and your SPIRITUALITY and your SEXUALITY flow like your lovely long locks.

Oh wait, we don't have none of that in England, do we?

― kate, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I use a hedge. Useful for dragging myself backwards through, for the casual look which I believe is 'de rigeur' this season.

― C J, Wednesday, 31 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i adhere loosely to born clippy's "regimen" - haven't used either a brush or a comb since i was a li'l church-goin tyke - once mes cheveux hit puberty it did whatever the hell it wanted and i was powerless to stop it.
