Bone Combs For Curly Hair

Now that the use of plastic straws has been banned in many countries, plastic toothbrushes have been traded in for the bamboo variety and sustainable fashion is all the latest rage, it’s time for us to consider our hair styling tools as well.

Instead of opting for cheap plastic combs that only subject our hair to static frizz and breakage, we should start making the eco-conscious choice and invest in bone combs instead. Not only are they better for the environment, but they are also much better for your hair and overall scalp health.

Bone combs have been around since prehistoric times and were first discovered in African settlements dating back 5,000 years. At this time, they were mostly made from tortoiseshell and ivory, which led to concerns regarding animal welfare in modern times.

Now, we use bone and horn combs – or wooden combs typically made from box or cherry wood – as an alternative to plastic and can rest assured that these materials are not expressly hunted but, rather, made from naturally-encountered animal bones, usually in Africa and Asia.

Long-haired and curly-haired people are particularly attracted to bone combs as they facilitate the detangling and combing process with wide-tooth designs that glide through your hair smoothly and pain-free.

If you have been considering swapping your regular comb for a bone comb in order to reduce the stress on your hair, familiarize yourself with the best types available on the market. Here is our selection of the best bone combs available on Amazon and retail stores near you.
