FAQs
What type of coats is this comb best for?
This comb is ideal for medium to long coats that need to be fluffed and lifted for scissoring. It works exceptionally well on breeds requiring volume, such as Poodles, Bichons Frises, and Shih Tzus, provided their coats are mat-free.
Can I use this comb to detangle my dog's coat?
No, this comb is specifically designed for lifting and separating hair for scissoring and is not suitable for detangling matted or knotted fur. Using it on mats can cause discomfort to the animal and damage the comb.
How do I properly use the circular rolling action?
Hold the comb firmly at one end. Insert the teeth into the coat near the base. Use a gentle, circular rolling motion with your wrist as you draw the comb upwards through the coat, working from the skin to the tips.
How long are the teeth on this comb?
The teeth on this comb are 29mm (approximately 3cm or 1.1 inches) long.
What is the overall length of the comb?
The total length of the Yento Comb is 19cm.
How should I clean and maintain the comb?
Clean the comb after each use by removing loose hair. Wipe with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking. Store in a dry place to maintain the nickel plating.
What is the benefit of the nickel plating?
The ultra-smooth nickel plating ensures the comb glides effortlessly through the coat without snagging, minimizing stress on the hair and preventing breakage.
Troubleshooting
Comb snags or pulls hair.
Ensure the coat is thoroughly brushed and free of any knots or tangles before use. Clean the comb teeth to remove any debris. If the problem persists, the coat may be too matted for this comb, or the comb may be damaged.
Comb does not provide enough lift.
Try using a more pronounced circular rolling action from the root of the hair upwards. Ensure you are working the comb through dry, fully fluffed hair. For very dense coats, ensure you are combing in sections.
Nickel plating appears dull or damaged.
Clean the comb gently with a soft cloth and mild soap if necessary, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If the plating is significantly damaged, it may be time to replace the comb to prevent hair snagging.
