The KYVU T11 is a handmade tortoiseshell dual-tooth comb — a slim, compact all-rounder with two tooth types in one. 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 just 16.7 cm and 12 g, it's one of the lightest and most compact dual combs in the KYVU range — slim enough to slip into a pocket, handbag, wash bag or travel kit.

Best for: compact everyday styling and grooming in one comb · all hair types · smoothing and finishing with the fine side · detangling and sectioning with the coarse side · sensitive scalps · men & women · travel and on-the-go use.

Its dual-tooth design puts two combs in one. The fine-tooth side smooths, finishes and adds precision for sleeker styles, while the coarse side detangles and sections thicker, textured or longer hair. The slim, ultra-light build makes it especially easy to carry, covering both styling and grooming wherever you are, on any hair type.

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 that's easy to carry anywhere. As a natural tortoiseshell material, every comb's pattern is subtly unique.

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

Frequently asked questions

How do I use a dual-tooth comb?
Use the fine side to smooth and finish, and the coarse side to detangle and section thicker, textured or longer hair — one comb covers both styling and grooming on any hair type.

What makes the T11 different from the T12?
Both are compact tortoiseshell dual combs. The T11 (16.7 cm, 12 g) is the slimmer, lighter of the two for easy carry; the T12 (16.6 cm, 18 g) is wider and more substantial in the hand.

Is it gentle on the scalp?
Yes. Every tooth tip is hand-rounded so the comb glides without scratching, making it comfortable for sensitive scalps and daily use.

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.
