History-:

Have you ever thought about, while combing your hair, who invented the hair comb or when was the first comb made? The earliest use of the comb can be traced to as far back as 5,000 years ago. In fact, primitive versions of the comb have been found throughout history by archaeologists. As early as 5500 B.C. the ancient Egyptians carved out combs among other remnants of the emerging cultures. In ancient China, combs were worn as hair accessories that reflected one's social status

It is believed that the earliest made combs were those of bone, ivory and wood, while silver, brass and tin were later used to make them. Sweden is historically associated with the origin of comb. The oldest known comb is from Sweden and dates back to 2,500 BC, when combs were used not just to care for hair, but also as a decorative piece. In 1800- 500 BC comb were made up from bronze and bone. After that in early iron age 500BC- 400AD combs were made up from iron. The iron combs are wider and half moon shape.

In the Middle Ages (14th century) that the comb underwent its main development. At this time, a new instrument came to be used for making combs, known as comb-maker. Combs made of wood or bone that came from either deer or moose horn began to be made, using the comb-maker. Tortoise shell and horn were the common materials used to make comb in the early to mid-19th century.

During the late-19th century, two brothers, Isaiah and John Hyatt, in the quest for finding an alternative to ivory, conducted an experiment. They developed a plastic material called celluloid, using nitro-cellulose and camphor as primary ingredients. Celluloid can be credited for changing the history of combs significantly, as it came to be increasingly used for making combs. Today, combs are used all over the world, for the purpose of grooming hair.

In modern world Combs come in various shapes and sizes depending on what they are used for. A hairdressing comb may have a thin, tapered handle for parting hair and close teeth. Common hair combs usually have wider teeth halfway and finer teeth for the rest of the comb. Hot combs were used solely for straightening hair during the colonial era in North America. A hairbrush comes in both manual and electric models. It is larger than a comb, and is also commonly used for shaping, styling, and cleaning hair A combination comb and hairbrush was patented in the 19th century
