4. Combs All purpose comb Taper comb Flat handle comb Wide-toothed comb
Tail comb
Pick or afro comb
The all purpose comb is used for general haircutting and styling. An all purpose comb with a curved interior assists in lifting subsections and partings of hair while cutting.
A taper comb is used for cutting or trimming hair in those areas where a gradual blending of the hair is required. The taper end helps with trimming mustaches, tapering necklines and blending around the ear areas.
A flat handle comb with evenly spaced teeth works best to achieve a float-top style.
A wide-toothed comb can be used in hairstyle finishing or to spread relaxer creams, detangling the hair or comb through curly hair
The tail comb is the best choice for sectioning long hair or when making partings to wrap on perm rods or rollers
The pick or afro comb is usually the most efficient comb for combing through tight curl patterns or permanent waved hair.

Trimmers
Cordless clippers
Blades and guards
The rotary motor clippers are also known as the universal clippers. These can be used on cutting both wet and dry hair.

Trimmers are used for outlining, edging and facial hair trims.
Cordless clippers are a very important innovation for barbers because they are easily maneuverable and portable.
Blades range in sizes and styles. Barbers can choose the size of the blade based on the desired length of the clients hair.
Guards are also know as attachment combs and are meant to allow the hair to be left longer than what might be achieved from the size of the clipper.

8. Straight razors Changeable-blade straight Conventional straight razor
