Krest Goldilocks

Krest Goldilocks Combs for Cutting and Sectioning

What is this range?

Krest Goldilocks is a line of salon combs for cutting, sectioning, detangling and finishing. Krest has made salon-grade combs in the USA for decades, and product pages note that the brand has served hair professionals since 1958.

These combs use DuPont Delrin, a high-grade thermoplastic. Delrin gives strength, low friction, and heat and chemical resistance. That helps the comb keep its shape around hot tools and during colour or perm work. The teeth glide through hair with less drag, which speeds up the service and feels better for the client.

The range covers cutting combs, dual wide-and-fine combs, plastic-pin and steel-pin tail combs, a teasing comb with metal lifter tails, and a basin comb for wet hair. Compare more tools in our Hair and Barber collections.

Cutting combs

Cutting combs handle everyday scissor work and clean sections. They keep a smooth, low-friction glide and suit general cutting on most hair types.

• Cutting Comb #4 — 18cm comb for general cutting and sectioning. Low-friction teeth, ergonomic shape, DuPont Delrin. You can sterilise it. Made in the USA.
• Cutting Comb Large G20 — wide teeth for low-tension combing on thick or curly hair, plus fine teeth for precision cutting with control. Delrin builds in strength, low friction and heat resistance.
• Sectioning/Cutting Comb 8" #16 — 21.5cm comb with wide teeth for thick or curly hair and fine teeth for precision cutting. Delrin gives strength, low friction and heat resistance.
• Sectioning/Cutting Comb 7 1/4" G25 — 18.4cm cutting comb with wide teeth for low tension on thick or curly hair, plus a sectioning tooth. Delrin adds strength and heat resistance.
• Cutting Comb & Tail Comb Pack #4 and #5 — a two-comb pack. The cutting comb supports precise cutting. The tail comb sections hair before cutting, perming, blow-drying or colouring. Both use Delrin for strength, rigidity, low friction and heat resistance.

Tail combs

Tail combs create sharp partings and clean sections before styling, colour or blow-drying. Choose a plastic pin or a stainless steel pin based on the technique.

• Tail Comb #5 - Plastic Pin — 21.5cm red comb with a pointed plastic tail for sectioning, parting, colouring and perm work. Regular teeth glide through wet or dry hair. Made in the USA from Delrin.
• Tail Comb G56 - Stainless Steel Pin — 23cm red fine-teeth comb with a stainless steel tail for sectioning, parting and braiding. It helps prevent pulling and snagging. Made in the USA from Delrin.
• Tail Comb G36 - Stainless Steel Pin — large stainless steel pin tail comb for sectioning before styling or blow-drying, and for braiding.

Teasing and basin combs

• Teasing Comb with 4 Tails #8 - Stainless Steel — 19.5cm teasing comb with metal lifter tails. Use it for teasing, lifting and backcombing when you want volume without snarls. Delrin gives strength, low friction and heat resistance, with a balance of rigidity and flexibility. You can sterilise it.
• Basin Comb 8.5" #1 — 21.5cm ergonomic basin comb for gently detangling wet hair. It resists heat and chemicals, keeps a low-friction glide, and you can sterilise it. Made from DuPont Delrin in the USA.

How to choose a comb

Match the comb to the service:

1. **Everyday cutting** — start with Cutting Comb #4 (18cm) or the G25 (18.4cm) if you want a sectioning tooth.
2. **Thick or curly hair** — use the G20 or the #16. Wide teeth keep tension low; fine teeth give control for precision cutting.
3. **Clean sections for colour, perms or blow-drying** — use a tail comb. Pick the #5 plastic pin for a lightweight pointed tail, or the G56 / G36 stainless steel pin when you want a metal pin for partings and braiding.
4. **Volume and backcombing** — use the Teasing Comb #8 with its four metal lifter tails.
5. **Wet hair at the basin** — use the Basin Comb #1 to detangle gently after shampooing.
6. **Starter kit** — the #4 and #5 pack gives you a cutting comb and a tail comb in one box.

All of these combs use DuPont Delrin, so they resist heat and chemicals and keep a low-friction glide.

How to use and care for the combs

**Cutting:** Comb the section, hold the tension you need, then cut. On thick or curly hair, start with the wide teeth to move through the hair with less pull, then switch to the fine teeth for the final line.

**Sectioning:** Use the pointed tail to create a clean parting. Hold the section with the teeth or clips, then cut, colour, perm or blow-dry. The #5 plastic pin and the G56 / G36 steel pins all support this step.

**Teasing:** Lift the section with the metal tails, then backcomb at the root for volume. Work in small sections so the hair stays smooth on the surface.

**Basin work:** After shampooing, use the Basin Comb #1 to detangle from ends to roots while the hair is wet. The ergonomic shape helps you work quickly at the wash bay.

**Care:** Rinse the comb after chemical services. You can sterilise the #4 cutting comb, the teasing comb and the basin comb as part of normal tool hygiene. Store combs dry so the teeth stay true.

FAQ

DuPont Delrin. It is a thermoplastic chosen for strength, low friction, and heat and chemical resistance.

Are they made in the USA?

Yes. Product descriptions state that Krest makes these combs in the USA. Krest has supplied hair professionals since 1958.

Which comb should I use for sectioning before colour?

Use a tail comb. The #5 plastic pin, the G56 stainless steel pin and the G36 stainless steel pin all support clean partings and sections before colour, perming or blow-drying.

Which comb suits thick or curly hair?

Choose a dual-tooth cutting comb such as the Large G20 or the 8" #16. Wide teeth reduce tension on thick or curly hair. Fine teeth give control when you need a precise cut.

What is the difference between a plastic pin and a steel pin tail comb?

Both section and part the hair. The #5 uses a plastic pin and regular teeth at 21.5cm. The G56 uses fine teeth and a stainless steel pin at 23cm, and suits braiding as well as parting. The G36 is a larger stainless steel pin tail comb for sectioning and braiding.

Can I sterilise these combs?

Yes for the models that say so on the product page. The Cutting Comb #4, the Teasing Comb #8 and the Basin Comb #1 can be sterilised. Follow your salon’s normal hygiene process.

Will the combs handle hot tools and colour?

Product pages describe Delrin as heat and chemical resistant, so the combs suit hot tools and colour or chemical services when you use them as directed.
