Why a Wide-Tooth Comb Matters: Gentle Detangling for All Hair Types
by Maja Reinholdsson on Dec 11, 2025
Tangles happen — to curls, waves, straight hair and everything in between.
That’s why we created a wide-tooth detangling comb, designed together with Fredrik Medin Studio, to make your shower routine smoother, kinder and far easier.
Here’s the story behind the newest member of the Rufs Collective.
Why a wide-tooth comb?
A good detangling tool can change everything.
A wide-tooth comb:
- reduces friction
- protects curl patterns
- glides gently through knots
- causes less breakage than brushes
Perfect for curly hair, wavy hair, kids, and anyone who wants gentler detangling.
Designed by Fredrik Medin Studio – tested by kids
The comb was designed by Fredrik Medin, a Swedish designer with experience from Hong Kong and Milan.
During development, children of different ages tested prototypes and have valuable feedback.
Their input helped shape a comb that:
- stays secure in wet hands
- hangs easily in the shower
- moves smoothly through tangles with conditioner
- works beautifully on dry hair with detangler or leave-in
Fredrik’s design brings together softness, functionality and a playful touch that feels right at home in the bathroom.
Locally made in Sweden – from 100% recycled PET
Instead of producing far away, we partnered with a 3D-printing studio in Torekov, Sweden.
Each comb is printed in small batches, ensuring:
- minimal waste
- local craftsmanship
- shorter transport
- unique character in every piece
Made from 100% recycled PET, it’s lightweight, durable and gentle on both hair and planet.

How to use it
In the shower:
- Apply conditioner
- Detangle from the ends upward
- Hang it to dry - shower or a hook
On dry hair:
- use with Detangler or Leave-In Conditioner
- ideal for gentle, everyday detangling
A small tool that makes a big difference
Thoughtful design. Gentle haircare. Everyday ease.
Sometimes that’s all you need.
Our new wide-tooth comb is exactly that:
a small bathroom hero — for kids and adults alike.
