This is the best large wide tooth comb I've ever owned; uniquely configured to great on black people's hair. The rubberized coating is unique, sturdy, and unlike any other comb I've ever owned. Most importantly, using this comb led to no breakage. I use it as a detangler after I wash my hair, and due to the width of the space between the teeth, and the coating I experienced no hair loss. I love it.
