What part of the comb is used to smooth the hair during relaxer processing?

• A. Spine or Back
• B. Teeth
• C. Handle
• D. Tip

Answer: (A)

During relaxer processing you want a flat, smooth surface to press the hair and distribute the product evenly without snagging. The spine (back) of the comb provides that smooth edge, allowing you to glide along each strand and keep the hair aligned as you work. The teeth are for detangling and line-by-line guidance, which can catch hair or disrupt even distribution during chemical processing. The handle is for grip, and the tip is used more for parting or directing product, not smoothing. So the spine or back is the best tool for a clean, controlled smooth during relaxer processing.
