Details

Designed exclusively for Living Libations to bless your lovely locks. The handles of our wood combs are solid Incense Cedar wood and the teeth are an exquisite, ethically harvested Laos Rosewood. This selection of combs grace all hair thicknesses and styling needs. It is essential to have the right tool for the task at hand and I (Nadine) use each one. Here are some tips and tricks to get the most out of your comb:

Care Instructions:

Avoid cleaning wood combs with water as it will lead to swelling and splitting. Use jojoba oil or coconut oil to clean and condition. Rub a dab of oil on the handle and tines and use a soft, absorbent cloth to wipe away any remaining oil. If there is buildup on the tines, use a clean nailbrush to gently scrub it away.

Olive Wood Comb

Style, smooth, and tame your tresses with our wide tooth Olive Wood Comb.

This solid wood comb is made of silky smooth, gorgeously grained olive wood distinctly designed for the shower and other humid areas. Olive wood is oil-rich, which makes it water repellant so it won’t warp, split, or slip when wet.

This handcrafted, oiled wood comb is made to last. Its wide tines slip through wet hair, slide through tangles, and smooth the wildest of locks, and the ergonomic handle fits comfortably and securely in hand.

In the shower, use the comb to spread Shine On and True Blue Hair Conditioner or Honey Myrtle Deep Conditioner Mask evenly from roots to tips. For the shiniest and straightest hair, comb dry your hair while basking in the sun.

Care Instructions:

Use Jojoba oil or Coconut oil to clean and condition the comb. Rub a dab of oil on the handle and tines and use a soft, absorbent cloth to wipe away any remaining oil. If there is buildup of hair products on the tines, use a retired toothbrush to gently scrub it away.

Ultra-Fine Wood Comb

Perfect for going over things with a fine toothcomb. Gently neaten your newborn’s angel hair, tame the wild filaments of your mane, groom your goatee, brush your beard, or pick for nits and ticks with this comb’s super-fine tines.

Handcrafted with renewable, durable wild serviceberry wood, the two-sided design offers the option of fine tines on one side and super-fine tines on the other with an easy-grip center.

Five Wonders of a Wooden Comb

Manage Electric Manes

In the kundalini yogic tradition (and in many ancient traditions), the hair is strongly associated with one’s energy. To cut the hair is to cut off energy to the brain and mind or to strongly disrupt the flow of energy within this part of the body. Static electricity around the head and hair may interrupt or disrupt the energetic flow to the brain. Wooden combs do not conduct static electricity, so they help to protect the sacred flow of energy between the hair and the mind.

Invigorate

The teeth of a wooden comb gently massage and invigorate the scalp. This may encourage healthy hair while also stimulating feel-good acupressure points and increasing mental energy.

Try combing your hair before tasks that require enhanced creativity or mental focus.

Lube Up and Shine On

Combing the hair helps to evenly distribute the scalp’s natural oil (sebum). Regular combing may help to remove dry flakes and soothe dryness as oil production is stimulated and delivered to thirsty tresses.

Comb to Cleanse

Using a wood comb may remove build-up and daily dirt from the scalp and hair. The sturdy, strong teeth tease away trapped dirt.

Think of using a wood comb as dry-brushing your scalp. Use a small smudge of our Honey Myrtle Hair Conditioning Mask, or add a drop or two of an essential oil, such as frankincense, rosemary, or jasmine, to the comb’s teeth before brushing through your hair. This is also a great way to perfume your hair for a sweet scent that lasts all day.

Delicately Detangle

The wide-toothed wood combs are gentle, effective detangling tools for all hair types. Start at the tips of the hair and work upward as the wooden teeth gently tug each strand apart without breaking or damaging the hair.

Clean Your Wood Combs

Avoid soaking your wood comb in water to avoid swelling and splitting.

Jojoba and coconut oil are beautiful for cleaning and conditioning our wood combs. Apply a small amount of oil to a clean cloth and carefully run the cloth between each tine to remove debris. If there is build-up from hair products on the comb, use a retired toothbrush to gently scrub it away. For fine toothed combs, try using a piece of unwaxed dental floss between the tines to work out any debris. Using a soft, absorbent cloth, wipe away any remaining oil. If damp lay the comb out in the sun to dry.
