Professional Opinion

Two tooth counts cover very different jobs here: the T30 takes 20 to 25 percent for routine blending, while the T1010 texturizer removes 60 to 65 percent when serious weight needs to come out. Waved-groove teeth help the hair release without lines. True left-handed builds, $704 and $863.
