This application concerns a hair-thinning comb (200) comprising pairs of comb teeth. Each pair comprises a primary comb tooth (216) and an adjacent secondary comb tooth (217). A distal primary tip (218) of the primary comb tooth (216) extends longitudinally beyond a distal secondary tip (219) of the secondary comb tooth (217). A blocking channel (226) between roots of the primary and secondary comb teeth (216, 217) prevent hairs received therein from reaching a cutting element (106) of a hair clipper (100). There is also a cutting gap (225) separating adjacent pairs of comb teeth to permit hair to pass to a cutting element (106) clipper (100). The distal primary tips (218) separate hair in a first separation stage, and the distal secondary tips (219) separate hair between the blocking channel (226) and the cutting gap (225) in a second separation stage.
