PLEASE NOTE: Image shows 3 combs to give comparison between each. You will only be sent 1 x comb if you order this product. 

Designed exclusively for Living Libations to bless your lovely locks. 

Our warm, wooden combs feel luxurious in your hand as they sooth the scalp and smooth tangled tresses. Wood encourages good energy flow, and wooden combs protect the sacred energy of the Crown Chakra while shielding the hair from breakage, static, and split ends. And, wood feels so good that you will never go back!

The handles of these combs are solid Incense Cedar wood and the teeth are an exquisite, ethically harvested Laos Rosewood. We offer fine, medium, and wide tooth combs to grace all hair thicknesses and styling needs.  It is essential to have the right tool for the task at hand, and I (Nadine) use all three combs. Here are some tips and tricks to get the most out of your comb:

Fine Tooth Comb: back-combing, teasing, or refining curls.

Create precise, detailed hairstyles such as ravishing ringlets, perfectly poised up-dos, and beautiful back-combed body. Tame fly-a-ways and  tidy the tips of your curls by adding a tiny touch ofour Shine On, True Blue, or Honey Myrtle Hair Mask Conditioners to the teeth of the comb.

Medium Tooth Comb: massaging the scalp or combing hair in the morning. 

The thicker teeth in this comb increase circulation to the scalp and evenly disperse natural hair oils (sebum) for super shiny and dandruff-free hair. It also feels really amazing.

Wide Tooth Comb: detangling wet hair, combing in conditioner, or creating loose curls. 

The widely spaced teeth ease out knots yet prevent breakage to wet hair. It also effectively disperses conditioner through the full length of each hair strand. Use with our Shine On, True Blue, or Honey Myrtle Hair Mask Conditioners.

Wide or Medium Tooth Comb: creating beach curls and wavy ringlets. 

Run through freshly made curls to loosen tight ringlets and keep curls relaxed. 

Five Wonders a Wooden Comb 

 1. 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.  

 2.  Invigorate

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

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

 3. Lube Up and Shine On

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

 4. Comb to Cleanse

Using a wood comb may remove build-up and daily dirt from the scalp and hair. The sturdy, strong teeth dislodge dandruff and dirt and release blocked hair follicles.

Think of using a wood comb as dry-brushing  your scalp. Add a drop or two of an essential oil, such as frankincense or our Lymph Tonic blend, 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.

 5. 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 Cleaners: Body Brushes, Dry Brushes, Toothbrushes & Wood Combs

Body Brushes and Dry Brushes

Quickly dip the brushes in boiling water and then set them out in the sun for a few hours to dry. 

Or, every few months, gently clean the brushes with a pure soap and rinse well. Then put them in the sun to dry.

Toothbrush

After using your toothbrush, dip it in food grade 3% hydrogen peroxide. It is safe to put in your mouth and will deter unfriendly bacteria from growing on the brush.

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.
