The KYVU T29 is a handmade rake comb with a handle — a larger, full-head styling comb for thick, long and curly 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 glass-smooth tortoiseshell finish. At 19 cm and 18 g, it's a substantial styling tool that feels solid and stable in the hand.

Best for: thick, long, curly and full-bodied hair · everyday styling, smoothing and shaping · light detangling · working through longer hair in fewer strokes · sensitive scalps · men & women. Want a smaller, handbag-size version? See the T19 Compact Rake Comb (17.4 cm). Browse all finishes and sizes in our Cellulose Acetate Combs collection.

Its 31 teeth sit in a generous 4 cm-deep head — taller teeth and a fuller body that work through long, thick or curly hair in fewer strokes. The spacing is wide enough to ease through tangled or full-bodied sections, yet close enough to smooth and shape in the same pass. It's the full-head styling comb for hair that simply needs more comb to do the job.

The shaped handle gives full control and leverage when working through long or thick hair, and the substantial 18 g weight feels solid and stable in use — balanced for hairdressers and home stylists alike. Every tooth tip is hand-rounded so it glides smoothly without scratching, gentle enough for sensitive scalps and daily 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 deep, glass-smooth 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

What is the T29 rake comb good for?
Its 31 teeth in a fuller 4 cm-deep head work through long, thick or curly hair in fewer strokes — wide enough to ease through tangles, close enough to smooth and shape. It's a full-head everyday styling comb for hair that needs a larger comb.

How is the T29 different from the T19?
They're the same rake-comb design in two sizes. The T29 (19 cm, 31 teeth, 4 cm-deep head) is the larger, full-head version for long or thick hair; the T19 (17.4 cm) is the compact, handbag-size version.

Is it gentle on the scalp?
Yes. Every tooth tip is hand-rounded so the comb glides without scratching, gentle enough for sensitive scalps and daily use, while the handle gives steady control through thick or long hair.

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.
