Haircombs, those tools used for styling and detangling hair, have a number of synonyms. The most obvious are "combs" and "hairbrushes", but there are other terms that are less commonly used. "Rakes" and "teasers" are sometimes used to refer to haircombs, especially those with long, pointed teeth. A "pik" or "pick" may also be used to refer to a comb that is specifically designed for use with curly hair. Additionally, "detangling brush" and "wide-toothed comb" are commonly used to describe less traditional haircombs that are used primarily for detangling long or curly hair. Ultimately, the word chosen may depend on regional dialect or personal preference.
