Frequently Asked Questions - Horn Comb Use Questions


Questions about how to properly use our horn combs

What is the letter 'X' and the number before it trying to tell me about my Horn Combs choices? Eg: 1X, 2X ,3X, etc

The letter X is used to show you which combs have what thickness
choices. It can be seen as a lighter or heavier comb you can choose and
is relative to that model. Some people know that they like a certain
weight or solidity to a tool they use, if you don't have a preference
you can ask for help as to what thickness Doctorlonghair who had these
carved, recommends.  Other than that if you like a rich feeling n a
comber ...go up in x'x ...a scritcher?...stay 1x or slender.

Can I comb straight through my hair with 'any' of the horn combs, and can I massage with 'any' and rub scalp like you say with 'any of the horncombs as well?

Absolutely! Yes. no restrictions when we categorize... just different options;-) You are expected to use the finer as scritchers regardless of hair's thickness, but you'd use a no other type to pull through, that is a fine hair option, but pulling a scritcher thru is not mandatory.

What are each of the Longhairs® horn combs for?

Stimulating tines

...for a very buzzy-feel for mainly scalp, very fine and very buzzy-feel especially for pores and scalp stimulating, medium feeling rubbing/stimulating and rubbing, or more suited for rubbing/combing. one of each of these is a good thing... it's in the tines(teeth).

or

Glider tines

...for a same but moderated buzzy-feel, because it's designed shape wise for many uses a 'different feeling' Scritching, combing hair strands and lengths and fell/swoop scrubby-rubbing, Gorgeous keepsakes, lifetime heirlooms if you use and care for all these well. Got to have one of these too... makes long or any hair shiny!! no tangles.

or

Crossover tines

...for a moderate buzzy-feel as it is for both purposes, combing and scalp all can be used for both stimulating scalp and rubbing. Still feels rrrrreally gooood! Got to have a few of these too... makes roots and strand happy long or any hair shiny but doesn't over stimulate (is that even possible??)!!

then...


'Some of each the area that touch the scalp tines are contoured/curved edge-line, and some are a flat line then there's a different feel and effect with thicker and thinner tines.

'Classics' are good for de-frizzing and for combing straight or straightened hair (avoid styling products not to be used directly with horn combs)

Have LML help or choose some then ask if you want to cover all bases.order them for pets too!
