Shop Combs Online in NZ
A comb is the cheapest tool in your grooming kit and often the one you reach for most. The right one parts cleanly, detangles without snapping hair, and sits comfortably in a pocket, a barber's hand or the shower. The wrong one snags, scratches the scalp and leaves static. Tooth spacing, material and shape all make a difference, which is why this collection runs to more than 180 combs and comb attachments.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of every brand here, including Kent, Modern Pirate, Wet Brush, Captain Fawcett, Baxter of California, Cricket, Krest, Pegasus, Silver Bullet, BaByliss Pro, Glide, Goldilocks and Stellar. You will find handmade dressing table combs, carbon cutting combs for salons, pocket and beard combs, afro picks, shower combs and clipper guards.
About Our Comb Collection
Combs are designed around their teeth. Fine teeth give a sharp part and a smooth, sleek finish. Wide teeth slide through wet, thick or curly hair without pulling. Many dressing table combs have both, so you can detangle with one end and finish with the other. Rake and afro combs use long, widely spaced prongs to lift and shape textured hair, while tail combs add a pointed handle for sectioning and parting.
Material matters just as much. Kent's handmade combs have saw-cut teeth with rounded edges that glide rather than scratch. Carbon combs from Cricket, Krest, Silver Bullet, Glide and Stellar are the salon standard because they resist static and stand up to heat and chemicals. Wooden combs, such as the Kent Pure Flow and the Bossman Sandalwood comb, have a natural feel that many beard owners prefer.

Benefits of Using the Right Comb
- Less breakage. Smooth, well-finished teeth glide through hair rather than tearing it.
- Cleaner parts and sections. Fine teeth and tail handles give precise lines for styling, colour and cutting.
- Even product distribution. Combing pomade, beard oil or conditioner through spreads it from root to tip.
- Less static. Carbon and handmade combs reduce flyaways compared with cheap moulded plastic.
- Gentle on the scalp. Rounded tooth tips avoid scratching, which matters for daily use.
- Portable. Pocket and folding combs keep your style sharp through the day.
Comb Buying Guide
Match teeth to hair type. Fine or straight hair suits fine to medium teeth. Thick, wavy or curly hair needs wide teeth. Coils and afro hair are best lifted with a pick or rake comb.
Wet or dry. Always detangle wet hair with a wide-tooth comb, working from the ends up. Fine-tooth combs are for dry styling and finishing.
Choose a material. Handmade combs suit daily personal use. Carbon combs are best for salons, colour work and use with heat tools. Wood is a favourite for beards.
Think about where it lives. A dressing table comb stays at home, a pocket or folding comb travels, and a hook comb hangs in the shower.
For clippers, check the model. Attachment combs are made for specific clipper ranges. Match the brand and model name on the product page before ordering.
How to Care for Your Comb
Remove hair after each use and wash your comb every week or two in warm, soapy water, using an old toothbrush between the teeth. Rinse, shake off the water and let it dry flat. Wooden combs should be wiped clean rather than soaked, and the occasional drop of beard oil keeps them from drying out. Salons can disinfect carbon combs between clients following the disinfectant maker's directions.

Comb FAQs
What type of comb is best for my hair?
Fine or straight hair suits a fine to medium-tooth comb. Thick, wavy or curly hair needs a wide-tooth comb, and afro or coily hair is best styled with a pick or rake comb.
What is the difference between a fine-tooth and a wide-tooth comb?
Fine-tooth combs give sharp parts and a sleek finish on dry hair. Wide-tooth combs detangle wet, thick or curly hair with less pulling.
Should I comb my hair wet or dry?
Use a wide-tooth comb on wet hair, starting at the ends and working up. Save fine-tooth combs for dry hair.
What is a dressing table comb?
It is a full-size comb with both fine and wide teeth, kept at home for daily grooming. The Kent A 5T and 9T are popular examples.
Why are Kent combs so popular?
Kent is one of Britain's oldest brushmakers, and its handmade combs have saw-cut teeth with rounded edges that glide through hair and are gentle on the scalp.
What does saw-cut mean on a comb?
Saw-cut combs have each tooth cut individually and then finished smooth, rather than being moulded in one piece. This avoids the sharp seams that can snag hair.
Which Kent comb is best for thick hair?
The Kent R5T dressing table comb for thick hair and the Kent R-9T 192mm comb for thick, coarse hair are designed for denser hair.
Which Kent comb is best for a beard?
The Kent 81T Handmade Beard and Moustache Comb is compact and fine, and the Kent 87T folds away for travel.
What is the Modern Pirate Black Texture Comb?
It is a men's styling comb designed for working products through and creating textured styles. It is our best-selling comb.
What is a texture comb?
A texture comb has widely spaced, often staggered teeth that separate hair and leave visible lines, creating texture rather than a slick finish.
Which combs are best for pomade styles?
The Layrite Medium Comb, Dapper Dan Handmade Styling Comb, Slick Gorilla Texture Comb and Modern Pirate Black Texture Comb are made for pomade and men's styles.
What is a rat tail comb used for?
A rat tail comb has a long, thin handle for sectioning and parting hair, and fine teeth for smoothing. It is used for styling, braiding and colour work.
What is a rake comb?
A rake comb has long, widely spaced teeth for detangling and shaping thick or curly hair. The Kent SPC83 Handle Rake Comb is an example.
What is an afro comb or pick?
An afro comb or pick has long prongs that lift curls and coils from the root to add volume and shape. Try the Kent SPC86 or the Cricket Ultra Smooth Pick Comb.
Which comb is best for curly hair?
Use a wide-tooth or detangling comb on wet hair with conditioner, such as the Wet Brush Pro Basin Comb or Cricket Ultra Smooth Detangler Comb. Avoid fine-tooth combs on dry curls.
What is a basin comb?
A basin comb is a wide-tooth comb used at the backwash to detangle wet hair and comb through conditioner or treatment.
What is a shower comb?
A shower comb is a wide-tooth comb made to use in the shower. The Glide Hook Shower Comb can hang from a rail or hook.
Why do salons use carbon combs?
Carbon combs are antistatic, resist heat from styling tools and tolerate chemicals such as colour and bleach, so they last well in a busy salon.
Which carbon comb brands do you stock?
We stock carbon combs from Cricket, Krest, Silver Bullet, Glide and Stellar.
What is a teasing comb?
A teasing comb has short, staggered teeth for backcombing to build volume at the root. Krest Cleopatra and Pegasus both make teasing tail combs.
What is a flat-top comb?
A flat-top comb is a barber's comb with a wide, flat top edge used as a guide for cutting flat-top and level haircuts.
What is a tapered barber comb?
A tapered barber comb has teeth that change from fine to wide along its length, ideal for scissor-over-comb and clipper-over-comb work.
What is a highlighting comb?
A highlighting or lightening comb, such as the Echosline Lightening Comb, has a weaving tip to pick out fine sections for foils.
Do you sell clipper guards?
Yes. We stock attachment combs for Silver Bullet Hyper Speed, Connoisseur and Grenadier clippers, Stylecraft magnetic guards, BaByliss Pro clipper combs and a Wahl attachment comb.
Will a clipper guard fit any clipper?
No. Guards are made for specific clipper models. Check the brand and model named on the product page before you order.
What do clipper guard numbers mean?
The number relates to the length of hair left after cutting. Our product titles also show the length in millimetres, for example 3mm, 6mm or 13mm.
Do you sell wooden combs?
Yes, including the Kent Pure Flow Wooden Comb, the Bossman Pocket Beard and Moustache Sandalwood Comb and the Baby Forest neem wood comb for children.
Is a wooden comb better for beards?
Many people like wood for beards because it feels natural and smooth. Wipe it clean rather than soaking it so it does not warp.

Which comb should I use for detangling extensions or fine hair?
A wide-tooth comb with smooth teeth, such as the Wet Brush Custom Care Thin Hair Comb or a Cricket Ultra Smooth Detangler, is gentle on delicate hair.
Can a comb cause hair breakage?
Rough seams, sharp teeth or forcing a comb through knots can cause breakage. Use a smooth, wide-tooth comb and work from the ends up.
How often should I clean my comb?
Remove hair after each use and wash it every week or two in warm, soapy water.
How do I clean a wooden comb?
Brush out hair, wipe it with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, and dry it straight away. Do not soak it.
How often should I replace my comb?
Replace a comb when teeth are missing, chipped or rough, as damaged teeth snag and break hair.
