A fine-toothed stainless steel comb with rotating teeth works wonders for that delicate area. I've found the ones with wider spacing on one end and finer on the other let me gently work out the tangles without pulling or irritating the skin behind the ears. That's a solid choice, and your Balinese will thank you for the extra care.

I grab a slicker brush with fine, slightly bent pins and it glides through that delicate post-auricular fluff without snagging. The key is the angled bristles that lift and separate each strand, preventing mats from forming in that tricky spot. My own Balinese hated the metal combs but actually purrs when I use this soft-bristled slicker there.

A greyhound-style comb with long, widely spaced teeth does the trick for me. The spacing lets me slide through the fine point-color fluff without yanking, and I just go slowly behind the ears where mats love to hide. My Balinese, Jasper, sits still for it because the teeth don't scrape his skin like a tight comb would.
