What makes these combs specialist?

Each has a distinctive tooth design for a specific job — alternating criss-cross teeth for gentle detangling, step-tapered wide teeth with a handle for thick and curly hair, and ultra-fine micro-teeth for scalp and precision work — rather than a single all-purpose tooth pattern.

Which specialist comb should I choose for thick or curly hair?

For detangling, the alternating-teeth T16 or B16; for working through thick or curly hair with a handle, the step-tapered T13 for very thick hair or T17 for everyday thick and curly hair.

Are they made from real tortoiseshell?

No. They're handmade from cellulose acetate — a plant-based material with the warm look of tortoiseshell, but cruelty-free and free of any animal product. Black versions share the same material.
