hair comb

Grooming tool, toothed

A hair comb is a toothed implement for grooming hair—untangling, smoothing, or styling it.

The term distinguishes combs meant for hair from other toothed devices like curry combs for horses or combs in beekeeping.

Usually just called a comb: She ran a comb through her hair before leaving.
