Custom Tail Combs for Sectioning and Styling
Develop the sectioning tool around tail length, taper and material, overall balance, grip, fine-tooth pitch, body color, branding and tail protection.
- Material: ABS, POM, nylon or another confirmed professional material; metal tail where specified
- Size: Custom overall length, fine-tooth pitch and tail dimensions
- Color: Solid or Pantone-matched colors
- Logo: Pad, screen or UV print, or molded-in branding
- Packaging: Individual bags, sleeves, cards or salon sets
Tail-comb projects can start at 50 pcs. Typical timing is about 15 days for a sample and about 28 days for production after sample approval; tail construction, material, tooling, branding, packaging and quantity can affect the confirmed schedule.

Start with the Sectioning Tail, Not Only the Fine Teeth
The tail is the defining working feature on this page. Its length, taper, point, material, straightness and balance should be confirmed before color and logo choices are treated as final.
Three Approvals That Define a Tail Comb
Review them on the complete sample because tail and body dimensions affect one another.
Tail Profile & Material
Balance & Grip
Fine-Tooth Zone
Confirm Tail Construction and Heat Requirements Separately
Material choice should follow the body, tail and actual salon-use conditions in the brief.
- POM & ABS
Review molded body and tail directions where controlled dimensions and a defined surface are required. - Nylon or metal-tail construction
Review flexibility or a distinct inserted tail only when the complete structure is specified. - Heat requirement
State the expected exposure and any test or acceptance method; do not rely on a general “heat-resistant” label without project confirmation.
Dimension the Body and Tail on One Drawing
Typical overall length is 90–230 mm, or a custom professional format can be reviewed.
- Tail callouts
Mark exposed length, taper, point, material, diameter or thickness and the connection to the body. - Body callouts
Specify overall length, spine thickness, grip area, fine-tooth pitch, tooth length and tip shape. - Sample approval
Check total balance, tail straightness, tooth alignment, dimensions and agreed tolerances on the same sample.
Approve Color on the Complete Tail-Comb Structure
The body color, surface and any separate tail material should be viewed together.
- Standard solid direction
Confirm the selected resin and surface instead of approving a color name alone. - Pantone direction
Review a molded sample in the specified material and gloss or texture. - Combined reference
Check body color, tail appearance and print contrast on the finished product.
Keep Branding on the Body, Clear of the Working Tail
Logo position should remain visible without using the pointed or gripped areas as artwork space.
- Pad, screen or UV print
Review a suitable flat body area, final color count and required print position. - Molded-in mark
Include the raised or recessed logo in the tooling review when that route is selected. - Artwork control
Supply vector artwork at final size and mark its distance from tooth roots, grip and tail transition.
Prevent the Long Tail from Taking Pack Loads
Review the pack around the complete length and point rather than around the body alone.
- Bag or sleeve
Confirm tail clearance, insertion direction and the position of any seal or label. - Backing card or salon set
Keep attachment points away from the tail and record the set configuration. - Carton details
Save unit orientation, tail protection, count, carton quantity, marks and destination.

Form the Body and Verify the Tail as One Tool
Prepare the drawing with the shape and size guide, define the profile through custom shapes and sizes, and review the sample-to-production process.
