Scissor/Comb hybrids
January 26, 2023 2:33 PM Subscribe
I am searching for an object that might not exist: A comb that is like scissors so it can grab hair. Does it exist? What is it called?
I thought this existed and I am trying to purchase one but I don't even know what to call it. I know about thinning scissors that have one blade comb-like, but the other side is a blade.
I don't want this tool to do any cutting! Just hold hair still so I can cut it with scissors in my other hand.
The only term I can come up with is "scissor comb" which is apparently wrong.

Best answer: Are you looking for something like these? Apparently good keywords are "straightening comb" or "v-shaped comb"

Best answer: Another similar option here, and this one's a little bit of a different mechanism

Thanks!
I store the tip of my tongue in the hivemind. No. That sounded better in my head.
