A styling comb has the image of something an adult woman uses. Is that because it lived quietly on my grandmother’s and mother’s dressing table?

I remember my grandmother using a styling comb to back-comb her hair, or to arrange it when she wore it up, so my image of styling combs was that of something an elderly woman uses. But now I use the comb myself. I cannot help but feel the flow of time.

As I have wavy hair and am not very good at styling it, I keep it shoulder length so I can tie it into a ponytail, to save time in the morning.

I was reluctant to use a styling boxwood comb because I had assumed the teeth would be too fine to pass through my hair, of course, the aforementioned image of it being for elderly women hadn’t helped. With the words of the shop clerk, “It will make your hair look lustrous,” feeling skeptical but with an added sense of hope, the invited the styling comb into my collection of boxwood combs.

The styling comb quickly became an essential item for brushing, smoothing and arranging my hair. It does not leave any traces on my hair, and makes it look shiny.
Even when I leave my hair down, I feel groomed with just one brush of the comb.

The comb’s best feature is the lack of static electricity.
It’s durable, too. In addition, the more you use it, the more character it builds.

My styling boxwood comb would be nothing without its camellia oil – they’re a perfect match!
In the next chapter, I will tell you how to make best use of the oil.
