The KYVU W22 is a handmade wooden wide-tooth detangling comb with a broad, hand-held body — the beech-wood edition of our best-selling 22-series detangler. It's hand-cut, hand-sanded and hand-finished from steam beech, a dense, naturally smooth hardwood used in premium comb-making for generations. At 15.7 cm long with a generous 6 cm-wide body and just 28 g, it sits comfortably in the palm and covers large sections of hair in fewer strokes — while natural beech keeps it noticeably lighter than an acetate or plastic comb.

Best for: curly, coily, thick and wavy hair · detangling and sectioning · working in leave-in conditioner or curl cream · refreshing curls between washes · defining natural texture after air-drying · sensitive scalps · women & men.

Its generously-spaced wide teeth glide through curly, thick, wavy or coily hair to detangle and section without snagging or pulling, helping reduce breakage on damp or dry hair. The broad 6 cm body is the defining feature: held comfortably in the hand, it spans larger sections than a long, thin styling comb, so you work through dense hair in fewer passes. Ideal for daily detangling, working in leave-in products, and defining texture after air-drying.

Wood itself is the point here. Steam beech is naturally anti-static, so there's no friction, no frizz and no flyaways as you comb. Each tooth is tip-rounded by hand so the comb glides smoothly without snagging or scratching the scalp — well-suited to sensitive scalps and to anyone whose hair breaks easily with stiff plastic combs.

Because each comb is hand-cut rather than moulded, there are no mould lines, seams or sharp edges — just a smooth, clean finish. Made from biodegradable beech with no micro-plastics, the W22 is a genuine plastic-free, long-lasting alternative to a disposable plastic comb.

Suitable for women and men, on dry or damp hair. Wipe clean with a soft dry cloth after use; do not soak or leave in humid environments, and keep away from direct heat. With proper care, your KYVU wooden comb will give years of daily use.

Frequently asked questions

Is the W22 good for curly, coily 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, helping reduce breakage on damp or dry hair.

What's the advantage of the broad hand-held body?
At 6 cm wide it sits comfortably in the palm and spans larger sections than a long, thin styling comb, so you work through dense hair in fewer passes — handy for thick or voluminous hair. Natural beech also keeps it light in the hand.

Does a wooden comb reduce static and frizz?
Yes. Steam beech is naturally anti-static, so it doesn't charge your hair as you comb — far less friction, frizz and flyaway than a plastic comb.

Is the W22 plastic-free?
Yes. It's made from biodegradable steam beech wood with no micro-plastics, hand-finished and plastic-free — a long-lasting, natural alternative to a disposable plastic comb.
