Beautiful combs for beautiful people is a phrase that I have used to help gather attention to a 9000 year old beauty secret that I rediscovered for myself in 1979. The secret is hardwood combs. Hardwood combs stop static electricity, reduce split-ends, provide stress-relief thru scalp massage, and will not strip hair oils. Hardwood combs are a beauty secret that has survived the ages.

Follow the links on the left to view finished combs. There are six basic styles to choose from.

I have been earning my livelihood since 1981 making hardwood combs. Each comb is a unique one-of-a-kind. Hardwood combs:

  • stop static electricity
  • eliminate 90% of split ends
  • won't stretch your hair
  • won't break your hair
  • massage your scalp

The history of hardwood combs in the modern era goes back 1500 years in China. Usable wooden combs have been found in the middle east that have been carbon dated to 7100 b.c.

All my combs are hand-made with the aid of special tools I developed. You are given a choice of 17 different hardwoods to choose from and attractive combinations are possible. Each comb is inlaid using 2 pieces of kiln dried hardwood and laminated together using water proof epoxy. This technique gives you strength in both directions for durability.

These combs are available through the U.S. mail, and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Orders include 2 ozs. of wood oil to care for the comb, free engraving to personalize your new treasure and a 30-day money back guarantee.
