comb teeth
Hair-separating parallel spikes
The teeth of a comb are its narrow, evenly spaced projections—the tines that pass through hair to detangle and arrange it.
By extension, comb teeth describes any similar row of parallel protrusions: the comb teeth of a music box, gear comb teeth.
A fine-toothed comb has teeth set close together for detailed work.
