Sharp parts. Clean sections. Seamless curls. The Curldo Tail Comb is your go-to tool when you want precision in your styling. Whether you’re doing wash-day sectioning, a middle part bun, or twist sections, this little comb makes your styling faster and cleaner — no tugging required.
Why Curly Hair Needs a Tail Comb
- Regular combs can snag curls or leave uneven parts — a tail comb glides precisely without breakage.
- It creates balance in updos, buns, and braids where symmetry matters.
- Sectioning with the tail helps distribute products evenly for better curl definition.
Prep for Parting
- Start on stretched or detangled hair. Use the Curl Detangling Shower Comb to remove knots before you begin.
- Apply a small amount of product. A light oil or leave-in gives slip and helps the tail glide through easily.
- Decide your part placement. Center, deep side, zig-zag, or diagonal — choose what flatters your face shape.
Parting Techniques
Middle Part
Hold the tail horizontally across your forehead. Place the tip at your nose bridge and trace straight back to the crown. Separate gently with fingers before styling.
Side Part
Align the tail just above your eyebrow arch for a soft asymmetrical look. Perfect for volume on one side or defined waves.
Zig-Zag Part
Use short, alternating motions with the tail to create a playful, textured part. Ideal for braids or half-up styles.
Wash-Day Sections
Divide your curls into four to six sections with the tail end. Clip each section to keep hair organized for cleansing, conditioning, and styling.
Hairstyles That Need Clean Parts
- Twist-outs and braid-outs: Clean sections equal even curl definition.

- Half-up styles: Use the tail to separate crown curls neatly from the lower layer.

FAQs
Can I part my hair while it’s dry?
You can, but lightly misting or adding a drop of oil helps reduce frizz and tension on strands.
Will the tail comb break my curls?
No. The smooth tail slides through without snagging, so your curl pattern stays intact.
What’s the best way to keep parts neat all day?
After parting, apply a touch of gel along the line and smooth with the Slick Back Brush for a clean, defined finish.
