Hand-polished comb

The benefits of hand-polished combs

The quality of a comb is determined already during the manufacturing process. A standard plastic comb is molded and pressed into shape, which often results in a thin seam running along the entire comb. This edge can be relatively sharp and cause unnecessary wear on the hair during use.

A hand-polished comb is instead cut out and carefully polished to eliminate seams and irregularities. The result is a comb that glides smoothly through the hair without damaging the strands or irritating the scalp.

Common materials used in handmade combs include wood, cellulose acetate and hard rubber. Kent’s handmade combs are made from cellulose acetate, a durable material based on processed wood pulp that combines longevity with a pleasant feel.

There are also professional combs made from hard rubber, including those in the Kent Salon range. These combs are likewise hand-polished to minimize wear, prevent split ends and provide high comfort during use.

For professional use, it is also important that the comb withstands heat and chemicals and is especially durable – qualities that Kent Salon combs fulfill and one reason why hairdressers choose their products.
