If you choose to comb your hair, the best comb to use for hair is a wide tooth comb or shower comb. Combing your hair often or with a fine tooth comb is often discouraged as it pulls and tugs on hair strands which at the end causes breakage. When you use a wide tooth comb or shower comb, you are able to get rid of shedded hair without the pulling or tugging of hair. Do not comb your hair excessively regardless of the comb you use.  The main purpose of combing your hair is to remove hair no longer attached to your scalp. When this is done, your task of combing your hair should be done as well.
