When using a comb with wide and fine teeth, which side should be used first?

Wide teeth
Fine teeth
Use both simultaneously
Neither

The correct answer is: Fine teeth

When using a comb with wide and fine teeth, you should use the fine teeth first. This is because the wide teeth are meant to detangle and remove any large knots or tangles, while the fine teeth are meant to smooth and refine the hair. Using the fine teeth first will help to loosen any smaller tangles and make it easier for the wide teeth to glide through the hair. Using both simultaneously may lead to hair breakage or damage and not using either side will not effectively comb through the hair.
