This comb is a variation on a commission from someone who was looking for a wooden hand-held comb that would have wide-spaced teeth like my Handled Hair Comb but that would be small enough to fit into a pocket or purse. With its wide-spaced teeth, it will handle even the thickest hair without static. 9-tooth Combs are three inches in width (about 8 cm) and two and a quarter inches in height (6 cm). Teeth measure about one and a quarter inch (about 3 cm) and are spaced half an inch apart (9 mm). Lignum vitae, the wood of life, is native to the East Indies and northwestern South America and has a storied past. This wood is one of the hardest known and contains naturally water resistant oils which make it an ideal wood for a comb. The 9-tooth comb will handle even the thickest hair without static. |
