What is the most desirable material for a hair comb?

  1. Plastic

  2. Metal

  3. Hard rubber

  4. Wood

The correct answer is: Hard rubber

Human hair is typically smooth and can easily glide through materials, making it important to select a material that is durable and provides the least amount of resistance. While plastic, metal, and wood are all commonly used for hair combs, they may not be as desirable as hard rubber. Plastic is easily prone to breaking and can cause static and frizz in the hair. Metal combs can have sharp edges that can snag and damage the hair. Wood combs may have natural variations and imperfections that can also cause hair to catch and break. Hard rubber, on the other hand, is smooth, durable, and lightweight, making it the most desirable material for a hair comb.
