1. Parting: rest the tail at the hairline, draw it straight back, then comb each side down.
2. Curling or straightening prep: trace the tail across the head and clip each panel away.
3. Backcombing: hold a small piece away from the head, place the comb a few centimetres from the roots and push down twice in short strokes.
4. On the third stroke, push all the way to the roots; repeat across the crown.
5. Comb the top layer lightly over the teased base to hide it.
6. To undo volume, brush out gently from the ends upwards.
7. Wash in warm, soapy water, air-dry, and store away from heat.

• Parting perfectionists: crisp middle, side or zig-zag lines
• At-home stylists: tidy panels before curling, straightening or a blow-dry
• Braid and updo lovers: clean bases for plaits, buns and ponytails
• Headscarf wearers: a sleek, flat foundation under any style
• Volume seekers: crown lift that holds through the day
• DIY colour fans: even application with accurate divisions

Fingers and wide combs leave wobbly lines and messy panels, which turn into uneven curls, lopsided braids and lumpy buns. The needle tail draws exact lines, while the fine teeth tidy or tease with control, giving every look a polished, deliberate finish.

And with two in the pack, one is always within reach, so a quick fix never means hunting through drawers.

What is a rat tail comb used for?

The pointed tail creates partings and sections; the fine-tooth end styles, tames flyaways and teases roots.

How do I make a straight parting?

Start the tail at the centre of your hairline and draw it back in one steady line, then comb each side down.

How do I backcomb without damaging my hair?

Use short, gentle strokes on small sections, never tug, and remove it by brushing from the ends rather than the roots.

How do I section hair for curling?

Divide it into bottom, middle and top layers with the tail, clipping each away as you work upwards.

Can it slick down baby hairs and edges?

Yes. The fine teeth lay short hairs flat with a little gel or serum.

Can it help create a sleek bun?

Yes. Comb the hair back to smooth bumps and flyaways before securing it.

Is the tail safe to use near the scalp?

Yes, when used with light pressure. Glide it along the surface rather than pressing into the skin.

Can I use it on wet hair?

It works best on dry or damp hair. For detangling wet lengths, the Brushworks Wide Tooth Comb is gentler.

Which Brushworks comb do I need?

Needle Combs for partings and volume, the Wide Tooth Comb for wet detangling, and the Smoothing Curl Comb for brushing out curls.

Are they vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, both are PETA-approved as cruelty-free and vegan-friendly.
