General Benefits

A Beard Comb can round out your grooming kit.
Many beards men find that using a comb grants them the extra flexibility and control they needed to craft their manes exactly as desired. It goes well in tandem with your standard boar bristle beard brush, giving you some of that good cop—bad cop action. The comb firmly slices through and detangles your hair while the brush massages and pats it down.

A Beard Comb detangles your beard.
As mentioned above, beard combs are excellent for detangling even the thickest of manes. As you grow it out, you’ll notice that you need something longer and finer to dive deep into the fluff and sort out those knots. If you’re new to beard care and haven’t grown yours out much, this may have never been a problem. But trust us, you’ll run into annoying knots eventually.
Why should I buy a beard comb when I can have all of these benefits with a standard plastic hair comb?
Listen carefully, young beard. There are several reasons why a beard comb is superior to its plastic counterpart. Afterall, there’s a reason it’s called a Beard Comb.
-
Wood combs don’t cause static.
Plastic combs cause frizz and static, both of which push your hairs out of place and give off a somewhat sloppy appearance. This is similar to the effect you see when you rub a balloon on the carpet. Using a standard wood beard brush prevents this.
-
Wood combs are seamless.
Beard combs are carved out of wood. This means that the final polish is well-rounded. Plastic combs are mass-produced through a melting and molding process that leaves microscopic jagged edges along with the teeth. These edges tear at your hairs and their follicles, causing irritation, breakage, split-ends, and more problems. A good way to deal with split-ends is to snip the tip-off, but preventing them is even better.
-
Wood combs don’t stab you in the face.
Grooming with a metal combs can feel like your stabbing yourself over and over. Metal combs can also be unpleasantly cold and tend to rust over time depending on the type of metal used. This both compromises the health of the comb and your beard.
At the end of the day, there’s a good reason why almost every serious beardsmen out there chooses wooden combs over anything else. If you’re looking to up your beard game even just a tad, look no further.
