The KYVU T22 is a handmade tortoiseshell wide-tooth detangling comb with a broad, hand-held body — built to work through curly, thick and textured hair. It's hand-sawn from a solid sheet of premium cellulose acetate, a plant-based material derived from wood pulp, then shaped, sanded and hand-polished to a smooth tortoiseshell finish. At 15.6 cm long with a generous 6 cm-wide body and 38 g of weight, it sits comfortably in the hand and covers large sections in fewer strokes.

Best for: curly, coily, thick and wavy hair · detangling and sectioning · wet detangling and spreading conditioner · covering large sections quickly · sensitive scalps · men & women.

Its generously-spaced wide teeth glide through curly, thick, wavy or coily hair to detangle and section without snagging or pulling, easing through knots with less breakage. The broad 6 cm body is the defining feature: held comfortably in the hand, it spans larger sections than a narrow comb, so you work through dense hair in fewer passes. Equally at home on wet or dry hair.

Each tooth tip is hand-rounded so the comb glides without snagging or scratching, gentle enough for sensitive scalps and everyday use. Cellulose acetate is warm to the touch and helps reduce static and frizz, so hair sits cleanly with fewer flyaways after every stroke.

Because each comb is hand-sawn rather than moulded, there are no mould lines, seams or sharp edges — just a smooth, clean finish. As a natural tortoiseshell material, every comb's pattern is subtly unique.

Suitable for men and women, wet or dry hair. Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth; avoid prolonged soaking and direct heat.

Frequently asked questions

Is the T22 good for curly or thick hair?
Yes. The generously-spaced wide teeth glide through curly, coily, thick and wavy hair to detangle and section without snagging or pulling, easing through knots with less breakage.

What's the advantage of the broad body?
At 6 cm wide it sits comfortably in the hand and spans larger sections than a narrow comb, so you work through dense hair in fewer passes — handy for thick or voluminous hair.

Can I use it in the shower with conditioner?
Yes. It works on wet or dry hair and is well suited to wet detangling and spreading conditioner. Wipe it dry afterwards rather than leaving it soaking.

Is this comb made from real tortoiseshell?
No. It's handmade from cellulose acetate — a plant-based material with the warm look of tortoiseshell, but cruelty-free and free of any animal product. Every comb's pattern is subtly unique.
