Premium 25cm Traditional Buffalo Horn Comb - 100% Natural Horn

Premium 25cm Traditional Buffalo Horn Comb - 100% Natural Horn

100% natural, hand-carved traditional Chinese horn comb made from a single large water buffalo horn.

Traditional horn combs have been used for thousands of years. Just like our own hair, they are naturally made of the protein keratin, and assist in strengthening, thickening and conditioning our hair. As a result of like-on-like, the keratin horn combs simply glide through the hair better, making disentangling easier, and many people notice that they make hair shinier. Unlike plastic combs, horn combs do not trap static electricity, which causes fly-away hairs, but more importantly, an unbalanced electrical charge across the hair - from root to tip, which can interfere with healthy and optimal growth.

This Premium Comb is approx 25-26cms long and is considerably thicker and has a lot more teeth than the more common, much cheaper horn combs that you might of occasionally seen - typically between only 12 - 15cm long and looking tiny next to our ones. If you are into your hair, this is absolutely the comb for you. Long combs like this are relatively rare. Firstly, a suitably high-quality long, sufficiently straight horn has to be located, and secondly, it has to be combined with truly accomplished carving techniques - with a finesse apt to carve more teeth into a single, flush, beautiful piece of hair grooming art. Each premium comb is entirely one of a kind, and colouration, detail and exact proportions vary naturally from piece to piece, reflecting the unique horn that was carved and polished. The pictures shown above are actually two sides of the same comb, emphasising not only how unique internal patterning can be, from comb to comb, but also within a single comb, how dramatically colour and patterning can change, even over very small areas. 

Care Instructions: If used on wet hair, do not leave wet, dry briefly after use and allow to air dry.

More Information

All of the buffalo horns our artisans use come from their local regions of Guangxi, Guangdong and Yunnan provinces, China.

The buffalos in question are all water buffalos, and they spend their lives outdoors, roaming around large areas, including streams, fertile fields and mixed forest. The buffalos themselves are a massive part of traditional Chinese rural life, and in these areas, this has not changed. Locals depend on them for their livelihoods and the buffalo are cherished by by all generations within these communities, especially as they add so much to the cohesion and vitality of these village communities.

Animals are never killed for their horns; the buffalos either die of natural causes or are used by the entire village for their meat. In these prudent societies, every part of the animal is used, and nothing goes to waste. The horns are a valuable side commodity and are sold to local artisans nearby who produce these wonderful artisanal hair tools for us.
