Wide-Tooth, Cutting or Tail Comb? A Wholesale Buying Guide

1. Match the format to your customer’s styling task

• Wide-tooth formats: compare spacing, prong length, tip finish and handle shape for the intended arranging or detangling task. “Wide tooth” describes a geometry, not a universal performance guarantee; test the exact sample for your customer’s use.
• Cutting combs: compare fine and coarse tooth zones, length, grip and the visibility of the section being worked. A salon assortment may need a dedicated cutting format rather than a decorative styling comb.
• Tail combs: use the tail format as a selection point for parting and sectioning. Specify a moulded tail or a separate pin tail, overall length and tooth spacing instead of treating all pointed combs as one item.

2. Explore finished-brand products for different scenarios

For ready-branded tools, the following official product pages offer useful examples of task-led product presentation. These are separate retail products, not specifications for Tianba models; the links do not identify the manufacturer of the branded items.

• ANNIE Wide Tooth Comb Large, 1 Count, Bone: an example of a wide-tooth format presented for textured-hair detangling. Review the brand’s own use directions and product details.
• FROMM Limitless 7.5-inch Carbon Cutting Comb: an example of a cutting-comb format with task, material and care information grouped on the product page.
• FROMM Limitless 9.25-inch Carbon Rat Tail Comb: a separate tail-comb option for buyers comparing sectioning formats.

3. Build a model-specific Tianba sample brief

HS00439: handled wide-tooth styling comb

View Tianba HS00439. The catalogue shows a handled, single-row wide-prong profile measuring 185 × 45mm. The brown product view makes the handle and prong layout easy to compare. Check the actual tooth gaps, tip finish and hand feel on a sample. Export-carton quantity and dimensions are not separately listed for this model in the catalogue and must be confirmed in the quotation.

CFC 70339: fine-tooth comb with a moulded pointed tail

View Tianba CFC 70339. Catalogue page 35 lists a 233mm carbon-fibre series comb with a long moulded tail. Standard catalogue packing is 12 combs per bag and 240 individual combs per export carton. The 240 figure is the total comb count, not a bag count. Confirm carton dimensions, any mixed assortment and the final retail pack before freight planning.

4. Avoid four common sourcing mismatches

• Same length, different working geometry: record the tooth zones, spacing and tail construction alongside the length. Keep a labelled reference photo with the approved sample.
• Material name mistaken for tested performance: do not copy heat, antistatic or chemical-resistance claims from another brand or comb. Agree any required test method, conditions and supporting evidence for the exact product before artwork approval.
• One comb, one bag and one retail set confused: state pieces per sales pack, packs per inner bag and total pieces per carton separately. A catalogue inner bag is not automatically the consumer sales pack.
• A repeat order follows an old photo: retain the approved sample, selected colour, logo location, artwork revision and packing record. Recheck changes before repeating the order.

5. How Tianba supports your brand’s comb project

Guangzhou Tianba Beauty & Cosmetic Co., Ltd. supports brands, importers and distributors with product requirements, sample confirmation, production and packaging coordination. Your team defines the channel and retail proposition; Tianba helps turn the selected model, finish and pack into a clearer manufacturing brief.

For a private-label enquiry, send the model or drawing, intended task, destination, quantity by colour, logo artwork and proposed retail pack. Review sample requirements and inspection criteria together. Tianba’s quality procedures cover incoming, in-process and finished-product checks; the records and acceptance criteria required for an order should be agreed for that project. Custom options, minimum quantities and lead times are confirmed in the quotation.

Frequently asked questions

Is a wide-tooth comb the same as a tail comb?

No. Tooth spacing describes the working teeth; a tail describes the handle or sectioning end. One design can combine features, so compare the actual profile and intended task rather than the category name alone.

Does carbon fibre automatically mean a specific heat rating?

No specific rating should be assumed from the material name alone. Confirm the exact model, intended conditions and any required supporting test information before making a performance claim.

Does 240 per carton mean 240 bags for CFC 70339?

No. The catalogue lists 240 individual combs in total per carton, with 12 combs per bag. Alternative retail packs and carton dimensions need order-specific confirmation.

What should a private-label comb enquiry include?

Send the model or design, dimensions and tooth profile, target use, destination, quantity by colour, branding artwork and pieces per retail pack. Keep sample approval, inspection criteria and artwork revision with the quotation.
