rattail comb

Hairdresser's parting implement

A rattail comb is a comb with fine teeth on one end and a long, thin, pointed handle on the other—the "tail." The pointed end parts hair precisely and lifts sections for styling, making it essential for braiding, highlighting, and other detail work: She used a rattail comb to section the hair for cornrows.
