haair in a bun. She really used the comb in th old days for neatening her hair
in the morning and cleaning it after work in the fields. It occurs to me that
her mother's comb would have been of interest because her hair is long and very
thick. That would mak a difference in degree of wear as well. There is actually
a long-hair society in the States. I wonder whether it would be an interesting
and useful experimen to look for people to use their combs in a natural way
(assuming these are al hair combs. we could at least provide horn, bone and
antler combs and both double sided simple and double sided complex. It might be
a fun experiment to run for five years however it would require people to mak
the combs and alot of coordination between all of us to do it properly.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Thanks, that's a thought, but might long hair be kept braided for much<br>
of the time and thus tangle less?<br>

Is there a fundamental difference in action between combing long and<br>
short hair? I think managing long hair might well use the whole length<br>
of the teeth but shorter hair wouldn't.<br>

I think that would depend on the thickness of the short hair. The<br>
question is whether combing short hair (<10cm) would affect the comb to<br>
any of the extent that combing long hair (bra strap length or longer)<br>
would. After all long hair takes longer to comb, partially because it<br>
tangles easier than shorter hair.<br>
