The KYVU T9 is a handmade tortoiseshell fine-tooth comb in a handy mid-size — made 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 18.7 cm and a light 26 g, it sits between a pocket comb and a full-size comb: long enough for proper control, compact enough to keep on a dresser, in a wash bag or in a styling kit.

Best for: fine, thin and straight hair · daily grooming and finishing · smoothing flyaways and refining hairlines · dressing styled hair · sensitive scalps · men & women · everyday carry. Prefer a slightly larger full-size 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 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. The mid-size length keeps it light and easy in the hand for relaxed everyday use.

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 that's easy to keep with you. 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 T9 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 size is the T9?
It's a handy mid-size at 18.7 cm — between a pocket comb and a full-size comb. Long enough for proper control, compact and light enough to keep on a dresser, in a wash bag or styling kit for everyday use.

How is the T9 different from the T6?
Both are tortoiseshell fine-tooth combs for fine, thin and straight hair. The T9 (18.7 cm) is the handier mid-size for everyday carry; the T6 (20.3 cm) is the slightly larger full-size comb with a little more reach.

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.
