I love these combs and I have quite a few. Anyway, after rinsing my hair just now I decided to use one of them to comb my leave-in through. I usually use my fingers, don't know why I didn't this time. Anyway, I tried combing through my hair and it got stuck. I looked in the mirror and saw that some of my hair was actually caught on two of the teeth. I used my other hand and worked the comb out. I did lose some hair in the process, not too much to cry over. What happened is that there was some excess glue that was used for the balls on the teeth. The glue was peeling away from the comb and my hair got caught between the glue and the comb. I own about 5 of these combs and this is the only one that I had a problem with. Just take a moment to check out the teeth of your comb before using it.
