I purchased the handle and non handle versions of this comb and they are incredibly beautiful and well made. I love having high quality wood hair tools and these both make combing my hair an activity I look forward to daily.I have waist almost classic length hair and it’s naturally curly but bc I’m growing it out for length I blow dry it straight very carefully every two weeks and I practice daily boar bristle brushing and wooden combing daily to strengthen the root and maintain a daily hair care routine these combs and wooden scalp massagers are tools I use every day, I clean them also after every use, along with the German boar bristle brushes, if you are looking to grow your hair out to classic length this is exactly what I used and works perfectly,Really makes you feel like a princess ?? and the trick to growing it,is not cutting it, and also doing a daily massage ??‍♀️ including the neck and ears and creating a consistent daily day and night routine with the wooden scalp massagers and of course patience, it’s almost taken me ten years,Don’t give upAnd you’ll get there??????
