Alright fellas, let’s talk. Beards are back, long hair is in, and whether you’re heading to work, out on a date, or traveling, there’s no reason you can’t keep your man mane in check. You don’t need to carry around a duffel bag full of products to keep yourself looking presentable. Just a pocket. Do you have a pocket? Great, you’re halfway there.
When it comes to taming your tresses, having a pocket-sized comb on hand is a great way to ensure that you’re always looking your best. Plus, combs were good enough for the Fonz, and no one is cooler than the Fonz.
A pocket comb helps to straighten a coif, tame a beard or mustache, and even get unruly eyebrows under control. Combs can be easily cleaned with soap and water to avoid build-up from hair products and they’re lightweight and ideal for daily use and travel.
Whether you want a comb that won’t break your heart if it gets lost or a high-quality option that won’t break in your pocket, we’ve got you and your hair covered.
1. Kent Pocket Beard Comb
With a handmade ergonomic design, the Kent Pocket Beard Comb is comfortable to hold. The travel-size comb is designed for use just about anywhere, including beards and mustaches. The comb is made with cellulose acetate, a non-petroleum-based plastic derived from plants that helps to reduce the static reaction that often comes from combs.
Pros: The smooth teeth on the Kent comb are hand polished and buffed and help to stimulate the scalp and skin, regenerating the natural oil that gives hair its shine.
Cons: The Kent comb is only 2.8 inches long and may be too small to be used for anything other than mustaches or beards.
2. Onedor Sandalwood Fine Tooth Folding Brush Comb
One reason people often don’t carry combs is because they can easily break.

The comb is available in extra-wide tooth and fine tooth and its durability and versatility make it a quality comb that is well worth the money.

Cons: The Ondedor is not anti-static.
