Which description matches the use of a mane-comb during thinning?

• A. First detangle the mane, then pull evenly.
• B. Use the comb to trim the entire mane.
• C. Wind a few hairs around and pluck them briskly for thinning.
• D. Forget about thinning and just brush.

Answer: (C)

Thinning the mane focuses on reducing bulk in targeted sections rather than shortening or smoothing the whole mane. Using a mane comb for thinning means isolating a small amount of hair, winding a few hairs around the comb, and plucking briskly to remove them. This selective removal lightens the mane a little at each chosen spot, helping the overall shape look lighter and more even. It’s done in small bites across sections to avoid patches and maintain balance. This contrasts with detangling and then pulling evenly, which aims more at pulling hair out uniformly rather than reducing volume in specific areas; trimming the entire mane with a comb would shorten the mane rather than thin it; and simply brushing without thinning would leave the bulk unchanged.
