A plant fibre, the acetate reveals a unique pattern specific to each comb and is available in two colours: ivory or tortoiseshell.

Other details

This is undoubtedly an exercise resulting from the principles of goldsmithing. Twelve steps are necessary to manufacture each comb of the Officine Universelle Buly. The process begins with the cutting of acetate according to the template of the chosen model. The shaping then consists of adjusting the acetate to the design of the comb. Polishing and dulling are then necessary steps to round off the angles and sharpen the teeth. The manufacture of the comb continues with the meticulous making of the teeth: the acetate is sawed to draw the teeth that are then faceted. Ultimate beauty treatment: the sanding smooths the surface and rounds the tips of the teeth. Lastly, the comb is brushed.

The steam bath gives shine and the polishing carried out by the expert hands of the craftsman complete this high-quality product of great merit.

Usage

Gentleness, meticulousness and patience are the key words for successful detangling of curly or frizzy hair. There is no need to be too forceful or to handle too frankly. Patience and gentleness are the keys to tamed and respected hair.

Warnings
