The Origin Handled Horn Comb offers a comfortable and classic rounded handle with fine teeth for smooth styling and everyday grooming. Handcrafted from natural Ankole horn, each comb reveals one-of-a-kind patterns in shades of creamy ivory, warm brown, and deep black. Naturally antistatic and polished to a smooth finish, it glides gently through the hair while celebrating the unique beauty of this remarkable material.
This unique, hand-crafted horn product is sustainably made from the horns of the Ankole-Watusi, or Ankole Longhorn, a breed of cattle native to western Uganda and parts of East Africa. These distinctive horns are a recycled byproduct of the food industry and are purchased directly from the cattle keepers, providing revenue for local cattle keeping communities. The horn is then hand carved and polished according to Maadili designs by a small scale artisan community.
