MEMORIES:

Tasha Tasha remembers...
These were way popular back in the day. I still have some.  More »
The oldest hair accessory in history, the comb has been smoothing, unsnarling, and shaping hair for centuries.
 
A simple tool that looks like a series of prongs sticking out from a base, a comb sides through the hair separating the strands and nudging your locks where you want them. Made of everything from plastic, to metal, to wood, combs come in a rainbow of colors and styles. They can also be used as hair decoration, encrusted with jewels or feathers, and stuck into folds of hair, such as the large mantilla combs from Spain.
 
Whether slid into back pockets, laid out on a vanity table, tossing back feathered hair styles, teasing beehives, or stuck into curls, the comb’s long history proves that no matter what the latest fashions call for, you’ve got to make sure you’re hair is doing what you want it to.
