I almost purchased a different comb, but I paused, and gave some thought to the criteria that I actually wanted. I wanted my new comb to have a point for dividing my hair into sections; that point was really important to me. Low and behold, this comb that I had missed on my previous scans then showed up on my radar. Voila! There was my new comb. Perfect!
This comb is smooth to the touch, and does a wonderful job combing my hair. I use the wide tooth side for combing my hair that is still wet from being shampooed. Although I use a conditioner as well as shampoo, there are still a number of tangles to get out and the wide tooth side of this comb does a wonderful job.
If I want my hair to lay more compact, especially when adding a part to my hair, I use the narrow sided teeth side. It too does a wonderful job.
It's so nice to be able to flip the comb over in my hand to easily get to the desired side. This technique will definitely come in handy when I'm giving myself a haircut!
The comb is made from a combination of bamboo and recycled polypropylene. It is very smooth, and more so than the straight bamboo comb that I had previously.
Another thing I really like about this comb, is that the handle is somewhat wide at the base towards the comb, and narrows down to a rounded point at the end. This part comes in handy for when I want to section off hair for cutting, etc. You can see the handle here, as well as the company descriptions for the various parts.
I highly recommend these combs from ecoTools.
Happy combing.

Your new comb looks like it has a duel purpose. Nice to find something that works the way you need it to. Thanks for your recommendation, Cheryl.
ReplyDeleteYes it is. Thank you Wednesday Elf. You are very welcome.
DeleteGlad you found such a versatile and useful comb! The combination of materials is interesting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt is Margaret. You are very welcome.
DeleteOh, my yes! Having a comb with both wide and narrow teeth on the same comb would be awesome. That wide tooth side really does look separated enough to comb through hair. I have used the old fashioned type where the sections are side by side and the wider section is just not wide enough to make a difference in my hair.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll like this one Sylvestermouse. There is good spacing between the wide teeth, and the narrow spacing isn't too narrow. It's a good choice.
DeleteI actually never thought of having one until I read your article - this is handy indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt is very handy indeed. I was looking for a comb that had the point on the handle for sectioning my hair, the double sided style was an added bonus.
