Afro Combs & Afro Picks

Shop afro combs and afro picks for natural, curly and coily hair.

A flat brush or fine comb can squash an afro and drag through curls, leaving it shapeless.

An afro pick has long, widely spaced teeth that slide in at the root and lift, so you get volume and shape while your curls stay defined.

Use it on detangled, moisturised hair, working around your head section by section.

Our Magic Collection Styling Metal Pik has smooth teeth that won't scratch, and it's heat and chemical resistant.

To detangle before you pick, see our wide tooth and detangling combs.

Order before 2pm, Monday to Friday, for same-day despatch, with free UK delivery on orders of £50 or more.

How to pick out an afro

Afro Combs & Afro Picks FAQs

What is an afro pick?

An afro pick, or pik, is a comb with long, widely spaced teeth. It lifts curly and coily hair from the root to add volume and shape without flattening your curls.

How do you use an afro comb?

Start with detangled, moisturised hair. Slide the teeth in close to the scalp, then lift up and out, working around your head section by section. Pick at the roots rather than dragging through the lengths, so your curls keep their shape.

Why do people keep an afro comb in their hair?

Partly for practical reasons, as it keeps a pick to hand for touch-ups. The afro comb has also long been worn as a symbol of Black pride and identity, especially since the 1960s and 1970s, when combs with a raised-fist handle became popular.

Is a metal or plastic afro comb better?

Metal teeth are strong and keep their shape when lifting dense hair. Plastic and wooden picks are lighter, and some people find them gentler on the scalp. Both work, so it comes down to how they feel to you.
