A taper comb is used for cutting or trimming hair in those areas where a gradual blending of the hair is required. The taper end helps with trimming mustaches, tapering necklines and blending around the ear areas.

A flat handle comb with evenly spaced teeth works best to achieve a float-top style.

A wide-toothed comb can be used in hairstyle finishing or to spread relaxer creams, detangling the hair or comb through curly hair
