Review on Set of 3 French Twist Combs in Tortoise Shell - Enhanced for SEO by Angela Ryg

Plain curved LONG combs are hard to find in stores so I'm glad to find them here. Light weight is a plus and a minus (see below). So buy multiple pieces (like this 3 piece set) and know that they can break if you're not careful. ADVANTAGES * Ideal angle for use on the back of the head. * LONG teeth penetrate well into all the hair. * Color is mostly as pictured: This pattern (turtle) is a variable "natural" look, hence such an attractive color variation is to be expected (IMHO). * Works reasonably well for straight, long, thin hair (worst hair to brush) - but I add a textured bobby pin (not a bobby pin) at a 45 degree angle down near the scalp to ensure the Don't shift curls when I'm gardening (bend/head down - against normal position). * Release easily if you wish. *Combs are light - on fine hair I do NOT want to add more weight than necessary - the light weight helps them stay in place and I find their relatively "thin" teeth help them bend just enough to use them properly. This low weight is also a disadvantage - see below. ed to avoid damage in transit. Too much packaging? I don't think so, given the nature of the thin bends in the comb - the supplier protects against foreseeable problems. CONS * Combs are lightweight - (yes I know, that's a plus too - see above). This affects their durability and makes them prone to breakage if too much force is applied (e.g. not by putting down the comb but by bending against its curves or leaning/kicking, snagging)*. The comb's teeth have a tiny moldy edge - a bit sharp but not sharp enough to cut or break the hairs on the combs I received. With fine hair, I think a bit of sandpaper on that edge would greatly improve holding power, but I don't feel I should. A NOTICE. Some reviewers have noted roughness, but not the case I received. I have a slight edge/lip on my teeth during the molding process, but that edge wasn't jagged or rough. Some reviewers complained about the scalp scratching - the comb's teeth are hard enough and sharp enough to scratch the scalp. if they weren't inserted properly - but if they were thicker and rounder, they wouldn't pierce my long hair. I also think they wouldn't work if softer plastic was used. Watch videos on You Tube and elsewhere to learn how to use a comb, but here's a little "gift" in the form of written instructions: INSERT YOUR RIGHT HAND to rotate the back of your head (ex finished): *Twist and gather your hair into desired section - the twisted end closest to your right ear should be roughly where you want the strip (i.e. the 'flashy' end). ) to be combs. Hold the hair with your left hand. *Grasp comb with right hand, concave curve against palm / fingers in a convex curve, comb teeth point toward wrist. * Imagine the line where you want the "shank" of the comb to end. * Touch the folded edge of the teeth DOWN and ALMOST to the scalp and rotate LEFT about 1.5 cm from the imaginary line. the rest of the hair on the scalp recedes along an imaginary line. *Change the angle to point LEFT and press/wiggle the comb firmly into place. *Practice a few times to reduce any awkwardness or looseness due to indecisiveness that may occur the first time. a few times. Normally too much of the rolled edge is caught first. Much luck! Note: A little hairspray to structure your hair before gluing won't hurt if you have fine hair.
