Thank you for sharing , Anais.
I haven't gotten the comb yet. I decided to keep the cuttng one, I thought it would be good for styling my daughter's hair and cutting my son's. I did find one on ebay that is an ox horn comb.I dont't remember the store name. It says civil war era women's comb in the by-line. It came to $14 with shipping.I like combs to, different ones for different times.
I'm a comb collector... and part of my collection is this one from Heavenly Harvest Inc. It works just as well as a wooden comb, except it doesn't make "that singing sound" that a hardwood comb does.
The HH comb is a lot cheaper and is very portable - the teeth are not easily broken. And if you want it smoother, it's possible to get fine grit sandpaper and work it down.
It's probably not ok for we usage. Rachael Stephens used to have a great line of handmade combs but they're discontinued at UncommonScents.com. UncommonScents still carries Speert and Kent combs, both of which I believe are seamless and shower safe.
Sally's, huh? I haven't been in there for awhile. I live in a small town where we have nothing but a safeway and a grocery store that is privatley owned. I live an hour and a half from a large city though, and they do have a Sally's. I'll have to check it out next time I go. I did but one at wal mart that looks seamless. It is by goody, and is part of the ouchless collection.

Alisa, I hope you can get things straightened out with them and get the right one this time. Let us know how you like it!
The only type of natural comb I've ever used is my bull horn one that I picked up at a medieval faire last year. I'm wondering if there's any noticeable difference between horn, bone, and wood.... Is there anyone who has used different ones and compared the results?
what beautiful combs. I love the black cherry one.
I ordered a bone comb off hairsense and recieved the wrong one. I called the lady and she said I paid for the detangler, but ordered the cutting comb. I don't know how this could happen because I clicked on the buy button that was one the picture off the comb I wanted. Oh, Well. SHe said I could return it and she would send me the right one. I am going to, I just hope she sends me the right one this time. Why does it have to be so hard to find a good comb?

Here's a link that I got from The Long Hair Site: Sierra Legacy Hardwood http://www.combmaker.com/html/home.html These combs are pretty expensive, but very good quality handmade ones.
(heheh... I think I'll just stick to my $7 horn comb for now)
Goody has some that look like they might be seamless. They are the ouchless group. I still want one for shower use, so I think I might try one of these. they have shower combs with a hanger built in. I wish I could find one around here, so I could look at it in person to make sure it is seamless. I live in a small town, so I doubt I will find one.
Merry Christmas

I just ordered a bone comb through hair sense. It was a little on the pricier side at $9.50, but seamless and bone. In case you want to check out the site.

Oh, I forgot, Since I have been using my wide tooth comb instead of a brush , my curls have gotten more defined. I don't think it has actually gotten curlier, I think that since I am not flattening or straightening with a brush, it is able to retain more of the curl. Kind of a nice surprise, I thought
Just thought I would mention it.

Thank you. I figured that a plastic one would be the best for the shower.I would like to get a wood or horn or something else for other times. It doesn't necessarily have to be wood or horn, just a good one. I like the site that babycheeks showed. What great prices! I can't really tell if they are seamless. I thought that if I get a new one, it just makes sense to make sure it is seamless. I read somewhere about conair having plastic seamless, but I can't seam to find it on the web. oh, well I'll keep looking.
Alisa, I already had a plastic one when I learned about the danger of seams and all that. I used a coarse nail file to smooth them over so there were no sharp edges. It worked great. When I use a comb in the shower, it's the plastic one. Otherwise, I use my horn comb.
well im told horn wood is not good for the shower so maybe you can try celluloid im not sure i ended up getting tortoise. I tried it today and it didnt break my hair. So its a keeper. Maybe you can find a tortoise wide tooth comb. http://www.adiscountbeauty.com/page123.html
im justgoing to board down the seams if any cause seamless just cost to much for me right now and i hear boarding it down is just as affective, you could just board down your plastic one and save the money.

I am also looking for a good comb. I have a plastic wide tooth right now, but it is not seamless. I have not yet had any problems, but I don't want to take any chances.
Where did you get your comb, babycheeks ? I have seen some celluloid combs, I wonder if they would be alright for wet use. I use a comb in the shower, so it would obviously have to be suitable. which would be the best, horn wood or celluloid. I will most likely keep a platic one for the shower, but would like a good for for other times.
