How to Add Volume to Flat Hair with a Wide-Tooth Shark Comb
Fine, flat, straight hair looks limp by midday no matter which pomade you use. The fix is not the product. It is how you comb it.
The Jason Makki Wide-Tooth Shark Comb is designed to lift roots and create natural fingerprint texture in 30 seconds. It is the comb Jason uses on clients at the Dubai salon when the goal is a textured, modern men's style with real volume — not a slick back.
Why fine or flat hair goes limp
Most men style with a regular fine-tooth comb pressed flat against the scalp. That compresses the roots exactly where you need lift. The shark comb has wide, rounded teeth that let hair separate at the root instead of being flattened against it. The result: visible volume for 6–8 hours, not 20 minutes.
How to use the shark comb for volume
- Apply styling product first. Rub a coin-sized amount of Jason Makki Pomade or a pinch of Matt Volume Powder through damp or dry hair.
- Comb up and outward from the roots. Start at the hairline, pull the comb up and back in one motion, letting the wide teeth separate strands.
- Flip and lift. Turn the comb vertical and use the back of the teeth to flip sections up for volume.
- Finish in your style direction. Final comb-through should follow the way you want hair to sit.

Who the shark comb is for
- Men with modern textured cuts — French crops, textured quiffs, messy fringes, layered looks
- Fine or thin hair that goes flat by lunchtime
- Barbers and stylists wanting a signature finishing comb for clients
- Anyone pairing with Jason Makki Pomade, Matt Volume Powder or Sea Salt Spray for a complete kit
Shark comb vs. regular comb — which to pick
- Wide-tooth shark comb (this one): best for texture, lift, and volume on finished hair
- Fine-tooth cutting comb: best for precision parting and cutting — see the 5-piece barber set
- Tail comb: best for sectioning during keratin or colour application
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the shark comb work on curly hair?
Yes, on dry curly hair it defines curl clumps. On wet curly hair use fingers or a wide-tooth detangler instead — the shark comb's shorter teeth are designed for styling, not wet detangling of long curly hair.
Black or gold — which colour should I pick?
The teeth and function are identical. Black is the classic professional finish. Gold is the signature Jason Makki look, matches the brand aesthetic, and is popular as a gift.
How do I clean it?
Rinse under warm water weekly. For deep clean, soak 5 minutes in warm water with a drop of shampoo and air dry.
