Pegasus comb buying guide: which comb for cutting, colour and styling?

Pegasus makes professional hard rubber combs, and ProHair carries twenty of them. That is a lot of black combs that look alike in a photo, so this guide sorts them by the job you need done: cutting, colour work, styling and detangling, and barbering. Every comb is priced on its own product page; the number in each name (101, 211, 406…) is the Pegasus model number printed on the comb.

All Pegasus combs share the same material. They are hard rubber (ebonite) made with Flexinite technology, which adapts to temperature changes so the comb stays strong and flexible instead of turning brittle. The teeth are seamless, so they glide without snagging, and the rubber resists dryer heat, colour, perm solution and disinfectant. What changes from comb to comb is the length, the tooth spacing and the tail.

Cutting combs

A cutting comb has fine teeth to hold tension and wider teeth to comb out. Choose by length. The Pegasus 201 (7 in) is the compact all-rounder, easy to steer around ears and hairlines. The Pegasus 211 (8.5 in) holds wider sections flat for layers and long hair and gives you a long edge to check balance. For barbering, the Pegasus 302 barber comb (7.5 in) is tapered so its tip lies flat at the nape for clipper- and scissor-over-comb.

Best for: short cuts and detail → 201 · layers and long hair → 211 · fades and tapers → 302.

Colour and sectioning combs

For foils you want a pin tail: a steel pin that weaves and slices clean sections. The Pegasus 143 (9.5 in) pairs its steel pin with long fine teeth that hold the section flat. The Pegasus 123 (9.75 in) has an extra-long pin that reaches through thick hair. If you prefer no metal near the scalp, the all-rubber Pegasus 141 (9.25 in) keeps the long fine teeth with a rubber tail, and the classic Pegasus 101 (8 in) is the everyday rat-tail for partings and sections.

Best for: foils on fine to medium hair → 143 · foils on thick hair → 123 · metal-free sectioning → 141 · everyday parts → 101.

Styling, volume and detangling combs

For volume, the Pegasus 104 teasing comb has staggered teeth that backcomb a firm base for updos, with a tail to smooth it over. The Pegasus B1 Curved BloStyler (9 in) lifts roots in the dryer stream and opens up curls. For wet hair, reach for wide teeth: the Pegasus 501 rake (9 in, with a handle) for detangling and spreading conditioner at the basin, or the compact Pegasus 406 styling comb (7.25 in), which Pegasus also recommends as a shampoo and colour rake.

Best for: updos → 104 · blow-dry lift and curls → B1 · wet detangling → 501 · compact detangler and colour rake → 406.

Clipper and barber combs

The Pegasus 514A clipper comb (8 in) has a wide, flat blade that guides the clipper for flat-tops and even sides, with a textured grip handle. For a barber kit with more character, the Skulleto line puts the same hard rubber in silver or gold skull print — see our Skulleto comparison.

Quick decision guide

  • Cutting short hair and detail → 201
  • Cutting layers and long hair → 211
  • Fades with clipper-over-comb → 302 or 514A
  • Weaving foils → 143 (fine to medium hair) or 123 (thick hair)
  • Parts and sections, no metal → 101 or 141
  • Backcombing for updos → 104
  • Root lift while blow-drying, curls → B1 BloStyler
  • Detangling wet hair → 501 or 406

If you only buy one — or two

If you only buy one comb, make it a cutting comb with two tooth zones: the 211 if you cut longer hair, the 201 if you cut short. If you colour, the Pegasus pin tail and cutting comb duo gives you the 143 pin tail and the 211 cutting comb in one pack, which is the pair most stylists reach for every day.

FAQ

What is Flexinite hard rubber?

It is the Pegasus name for its hard rubber (ebonite) formulation, which adapts to temperature changes. In practice the comb flexes instead of snapping, does not melt next to a dryer, and does not pit when it meets colour or disinfectant.

Can I disinfect Pegasus combs?

Yes. The hard rubber is chemical resistant, so you can wash the combs in warm soapy water and use salon disinfectant between clients. Rinse and let them dry.

Pin tail or rubber tail?

A steel pin is sharper and more precise for weaving foils; a rubber tail is gentler on the scalp and fine for everyday partings and setting sections.

Why are some Pegasus combs out of stock?

ProHair ships these combs from Canadian distributor stock, and a few models sell out between deliveries. The product page always shows the live status, and you can still order an out-of-stock comb; it ships when stock arrives.
