wide tooth comb

Coarse hair separator

A wide tooth comb has teeth spaced farther apart than standard combs, designed for detangling wet or curly hair without breakage.

The gaps allow it to glide through thick or textured hair more gently: She worked through her curls with a wide tooth comb.

Also spelled wide-tooth comb or wide-toothed comb.
