All of our horn combs are finely crafted, precisely detailed, carefully smoothed and selected from premium quality cow horn. Combing with a horn comb adds instant sheen to the hair and pulls out less hairs than normal brushes or plastic combs. Horn combs help to defrizz the hair and combing with a horn comb does not induce static build up in the hair. Most of all, using a horn comb and gives a pleasurable scalp massage for improved hair growth. Horn combs, while lasting for many years, retain a ‘primal’ and invigorating quality on each occasion of use.
It is widely believed that horn combs impart strength and accelerates the growth of hair and there is no doubt a horn comb leaves the scalp tingling with pleasure through the stimulation of micro-circulation. Given that horn is high in sulphur, linked inextricably to healthy hair growth, it is no wonder that horn combs have been valued for so many thousand years and that they appear so frequently as attributes of beautiful mythical beings such as long haired goddesses, nymphs and mermaids.
These horn combs are so well finished, that just picking them up is joy and even from the first stroke, they glide through the hair.
The Benefits of Using a Horn Comb
- For everyday combing of hair of any length, giving the hair a well cared for appearance.
- Cleans the hair by removing lint, dust and broken hairs.
- Helps to transport protective oils from the scalp along the shaft of the hair, making the hair appear better conditioned with less grease near the roots.
- Helps to smooth the cuticles of the hair shaft down helping to protect the hair from tangling and desiccation and sun damage.
- Gentle to hair – horn is composed as the same substance as hair – keratin, and with the same material hardness, horn will not damage the shaft of the hair.
- Horn combs pull out significantly fewer hairs while combing compared to a plastic comb or hairbrush. This is partly due to the construction. Plastic combs are moulded and the inside edges of the tines of plastic combs contain rough edges of plastic which is harder than hair. This rough edges of plastic snag hairs and damages the protective cuticle (scale-like) coating on each hair. The tines of horn combs are cut by saw and smoothed, leaving nothing to snag the hair.
- Does not induce static build up (unlike plastic). This is because a horn comb has the same charge as the hair – two materials of the same type due not build up static charge when rubbed together and brought into contact. With reduced static, again less hairs are pulled out while combing.
- By stroking the scalp with the tines during each grooming session, the stimulation improves scalp circulation and supports healthy hair growth.
- Cleans the hair follicles, maintaining follicle health and supporting the healthy grow of the hair, again when the tines are taken over the scalp.
- Perfect for detangling slightly damp hair after washing and for helping to reduce frizzy hair.
- Fantastic for relieving stress. Animals groom themselves to relieve psychological stress and after escaping from physical danger. Gently comb the entire scalp several times a day, or briefly throughout the day.
- Leaves a lovely tingly sensation on the scalp
