The KYVU T6 is a handmade tortoiseshell fine-tooth comb, made specifically for fine, thin and straight 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 20.3 cm and a light 26 g, it's a full-size comb that gives better control and reach than a pocket comb while staying slim and lightweight in the hand.

Best for: fine, thin and straight hair · daily grooming and finishing · smoothing flyaways and refining hairlines · dressing styled hair · sensitive scalps · men & women. Want a larger comb with more reach for long hair? See the T5 Extra-Large Fine-Tooth Comb (22.3 cm). Browse all finishes and sizes in our Cellulose Acetate Combs collection.

The closely-set fine teeth glide cleanly through fine, thin or straight hair to smooth, finish and add precision to sleeker styles — ideal for daily grooming, finishing flyaways, refining hairlines and dressing styled hair. It's designed for the hair textures that benefit most from a finer, more precise comb 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, clean finish, slim enough to slide into a wash bag, drawer or styling kit between uses. 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

Is the T6 good for fine or thin hair?
Yes — it's made for it. The closely-set fine teeth glide cleanly through fine, thin or straight hair to smooth, finish and add precision, without the snagging that wider combs can cause on finer textures.

What's it used for?
Daily grooming and finishing — smoothing flyaways, refining hairlines and dressing styled hair. It's a precision and finishing comb rather than a heavy-duty detangler.

How is the T6 different from the T5?
Both are tortoiseshell fine-tooth combs. The T6 (20.3 cm, 26 g) is the lighter, everyday comb aimed at fine, thin and straight hair; the T5 (22.3 cm, 38 g) is larger and more substantial, with extra reach for dressing longer 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.
