Hair combs do not only have value as cosmetic implements but has given users an evolutionary advantage by helping in the endless fight against parasites.

     In early days combs were made of bone, ivory, wood, silver, brass, and tin. Later tortoise shells and horns (the advantage of these was that they could be made soft and moldable by heating and would harden and retain new shape when cooled) became the most common materials used for making combs. Hair combs are a universal and very essential item that can be found in all parts of the world, each having developed their own particular style and use of materials.
