A Wooden Neem Comb for Daily Combing

Using a wide-tooth wooden comb, such as neem wood, for slow daily combing to spread the natural oil. A comfortable habit, not a treatment for hair fall or dandruff.

A wide-tooth wooden comb with fresh serrated green neem leaves, a small bowl of oil and a folded cloth.

Slow combing, a calm habit

A wide-tooth wooden comb is gentle on hair and creates less static than plastic. Slow, steady combing spreads the scalp's natural oil along the hair and feels relaxing.

Comb from the ends upward, a little at a time, and avoid pulling on tangles. Keep the comb clean. This is a grooming habit and not a treatment for dandruff, lice or hair fall.
