Are brushes or combs better for your hair ? Combs for combing hair are found during excavations of ancient Roman cities, in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs and burials of ancient Scythians. For a long time they were made from the horns and bones of various animals, from tortoiseshell, walrus tusks, ivory, coral and wood, made from pig bristles and even cast from gold. Only wealthy people could afford to have combs. Only in the XIX century, with the invention of plastics, these products became publicly available.
Today you can find a huge variety of brushes and combs. Made of a variety of materials: plastic, carbon fiber, wood, metal. Their choice depends on the length and thickness of the hair, on the purpose of use.
