FAQs
What is ebonite and why is it used?
Ebonite is a hard rubber material known for its durability, resistance to chemicals, and smooth finish. It's used for professional combs because it is hard-wearing, anti-static, and allows for precision in manufacturing fine teeth without rough edges.
How does the dual tooth spacing work?
The comb features sections with wider-spaced teeth and sections with finer-spaced teeth. The wider teeth are ideal for detangling and distributing products, while the finer teeth are perfect for precise combing, styling, and creating sharp lines.
Is this comb suitable for home use?
While designed for professionals, the Matador MC42 can be used by anyone seeking a high-quality, durable comb. Its size and precision features are excellent for detailed styling or managing thicker hair types.
Will this comb damage my hair or scalp?
No, the comb is specifically engineered with smooth, rounded teeth designed to glide through hair easily without snagging, damaging strands, or scratching the scalp. The anti-static properties also contribute to gentler handling.
How long is the Matador MC42 comb?
The Matador MC42 Large Military Comb is 215mm (approximately 8.5 inches) in length.
Where is this comb made?
The Matador MC42 comb is precision engineered in Austria.
Troubleshooting
Comb feels stiff or difficult to glide through hair.
Ensure hair is adequately moisturized or has product applied. Clean the comb thoroughly to remove any residue build-up that might affect glide.
Visible static in hair after combing.
The comb is made of anti-static material, but extreme environmental conditions can still contribute to static. Ensure hair is properly conditioned. Wipe the comb with a slightly damp cloth before use if static persists.
Difficulty cleaning product residue from teeth.
Use a soft toothbrush with warm water and a small amount of mild shampoo or clarifying treatment to gently scrub between the teeth. Rinse thoroughly.

Compatibility: This comb is designed for use on all hair types and lengths. Its primary compatibility is with professional hairdressing and barbering techniques.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose hair. Wash the comb with warm water and mild soap. A soft brush can help remove stubborn residue. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Pat dry with a soft towel or allow to air dry completely. Avoid exposing the comb to excessive heat, as this can damage the ebonite material over time.
