I've had good luck with a wide-tooth stainless steel comb, like a greyhound-style comb. It glides through the coat without squishing the fluff, and it catches loose hairs without pulling the silky top layer flat. Just be gentle and go slow around the chest and belly.

A fine-toothed wooden comb with rounded tips works better than metal for preserving the coat's natural volume. The wood's static resistance prevents the hairs from clinging together, and the spacing lets the undercoat breathe while detangling the silkier guard hairs. I use a small, handcrafted sandalwood comb from a local artisan. It's gentle enough for daily grooming without compressing that floaty texture around the neck and tail.

A flea comb with very fine, closely spaced teeth works surprisingly well for Turkish Angoras. It gently lifts and separates the individual silky strands without compressing the overall volume, and it catches loose undercoat hairs that would otherwise mat. I run it through my cat's coat in short, upward strokes, which fluffs rather than flattens.
