The KYVU T5 is a handmade tortoiseshell fine-tooth comb — a larger, full-length dressing comb for smoothing, finishing and styling. 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 22.3 cm and 38 g, with a substantial 4.5 mm body, it gives extra reach for longer hair while staying balanced in the hand — a considered, quality feel quite distinct from a thin pocket comb.

Best for: long, straight, wavy and fine hair · dressing and smoothing · finishing styled hair and taming flyaways · sleek, precise styling · sensitive scalps · men & women · daily grooming. Prefer a slightly shorter fine comb? See the T6 Fine-Tooth Comb (20.3 cm). Browse all finishes and sizes in our Cellulose Acetate Combs collection.

The closely-set fine teeth smooth, finish and add precision to sleeker styles — ideal for dressing longer hair, smoothing flyaways and finishing a style. They glide cleanly through straight, wavy or fine hair, and the full 22.3 cm length gives the reach a dressing comb needs on longer hair. It's a comb for the finishing touches rather than heavy detangling.

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 it tames flyaways and keeps hair smoother through styling.

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

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

Frequently asked questions

What is a fine-tooth dressing comb used for?
A fine-tooth comb is for precision and finishing — smoothing, dressing and styling rather than heavy detangling. The T5's closely-set fine teeth glide through straight, wavy or fine hair to tame flyaways and finish a style cleanly.

Is the larger size good for long hair?
Yes. At 22.3 cm it's at the longer end of the comb range, giving extra reach for dressing and smoothing longer hair, with a substantial, balanced feel 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.
