Where are we getting our seamless combs from now, ladies

[sherrimberri]

I have a similar one from The Body Shop--didn't realize it qualified as seamless. It costs $7

I purchased this comb after I saw this post. It's pretty good I use it to wrap my straight hair.

 

[faithVA]

My hairsense combs came today. I ordered the 222, the 205 and the 206. I had planned on washing my hair tonight but it got late too fast. And I want to stop washing my hair so late and feeling rushed.

I didn't realize that the 222 was so big. Not sure I need all of that comb but maybe when my hair is longer it will make sense. So I will use the 222 and the 205 when detangling during my DC. And I will use the 205 to smooth my hair when twisting it up. And I will use the 206 to smooth the ends of my twists.

If this doesn't work, I give up.

More updates I don't plan on using my combs for at least another 9 weeks because I am spring twists

 

[naturalmanenyc]

I bought my combs a couple of weeks ago from hairsense.com: 201, 205 and 206. They did not look seamless at first, but then I washed out what I thought was seams. It turned out to be shavings I guess from when the combs were sanded down.

I have not really used them yet. I have my braider use them last week when she tightened my Senegalese twists but I could not really tell if they felt different.

 

[faithVA]

I think the hairsense combs may work better for relaxed heads or naturals with a looser curl pattern. They are a little too unforgiving for my tightly curly head. The combs don't give and neither does my hair

I may be selling these in the Exchange forum.

My issue with bone combs is that they crack when they fall. I have had to use nail file to reshape the tip of my rat tail bone comb several times. When it falls, it lands on the tail. It's getting shorter and shorter. lol

I too have (fine) tightly coily hair. Did you use it on wet or dry hair? Mine are out for delivery now.

I tried it on wet hair with conditioner and on damp hair. There is no use trying to comb my dry hair

They seem like good combs, but my hair just doesn't give much at all. You can just feel the fight between my hair and the combs. It's not unusual.

I bought a Hercules conditioner comb and it has some give. My hair cooperated with it a bit better.

^^faithVA thanks I have the HS rake so I will definitely compare the too. I also have the MP combs but I don't really like them. The teeth are too narrow and I feel like I loose too much hair. So far my HS have been the best thing going but I am always looking for the next best thing.

Hi everyone Just a quick update. I received my combs from hair sense on Monday and I have not gotten to use them but I just wanted to give a shout out to the awesome customer service. One of the combs(205) tail was chipped when I received it. I contacted Myra the same day. She responded promptly and offered to send out a replacement comb if I paid shipping. There was no blame game going and no attitude. I will definitely recommend her to friends That is all. I can't wait to use the combs to tighten up some of my spring twists this weekend.

 

[winona]

Hi ladies I received my new comb in the mail. To sum things up this is the email I sent to Myra

"Myra,

Thank you for your help. I received my comb when I got home on Friday. I just wanted to let you know that the new comb has some weird tenting on the bottom. Kinda like a knife:O. I used a qtip to see if it was just dust from sanding process but it is not. I attached a photo. I just left the logistics field for 10 years so I know this could be a quality control measure as nothing is perfect. No worries I will try to get a hand file from Lowes or Home Depot this week to fix both combs as you suggested. Again thank you for your help and the pleasantness of this customer service experience.

Top is original comb
Bottom is new comb with the tenting(this is the best picture I could get of it but it looks like a dull butter knife edge)"

I can't speak of the quality of these combs yet but the quality assurance is not so great thus farerplexed. On a wonderful note Myra was an extremely pleasant person to interact with She acknowledged the initial problem and fixed it right away.

Glad you love it!


Now it's only a matter of time before you're buying various sizes to replace all your combs. I have the Magic Star Jumbo Rake, a styling comb, and more recently I purchased a tail comb. My old combs are in a container at the back of the cabinet. Oh, and I keep glancing at their brushes.

yup that's my next plan!! once i get my money right! im graduating in june and doing my state boards so i have a couple HUNDRED dollars worth of extra expenses in the next two months.. but those other combs are definitely in my near future!

 

[butterfly101]

Ladies, here are Two companies you can google for online purchase: janeke and creative tools.
I have a wide and tail comb from creative tools and absolutely love!
Janeke is a brand I tried at photoshoot and loved, but had already bought creative tools.
Those that are skeptical as to whether it's worth spending the extra $ on seamless combs, trust and believe the hype. Buy one immediately. Your hair with thank you.

I love my rake as well. The day I got it, I went back to the site and ordered the tail and one of the styling combs.

 

[claud-uk]

I bought a wide-tooth rattail comb the other day, and it had a joint on it where they "sealed" it which would've tore out my hair. I just used a nail file to rub down the offending area and now it's smooth and seam free - just a tip.

CaramelQTpie, sorry for the late reply, my mentions don't quite work. I see the notification but when I go to the actual page it doesn't show me which thread.


For a while I couldn't decide between the 4 but I eventually ended up with a 6450. I haven't used it much on my hair yet. I purchased it for when I flat iron but I haven't done that in so long. I have used it a few times to remove some shed hair from the very ends of my hair after using larger bone combs first.

I mostly use it on my daughter's hair (I think she's a type 3-something) when I want it really smooth (again, after using the larger combs first). I like it so far. It seems well-made and gentle on our hair like the other combs I purchased there. The teeth are a little wider than the other tail comb on their site.


Here's it next to my Jumbo Magic Star so you can get an idea of the teeth size and spacing.

Hi CaramelQTpie I bought all my combs from www.hotcombs.net.

 

[abcd09]

I think I will order a seamless comb.

I've been using these from Sally's for several years:

http://www.sallybeauty.com/Cricket-Ultra-Clean/SBS-354503,default,pd.html?cm_vc=CROSSSELL

I thought they were seamless for some reason, but I see them running up the teeth. The smaller, wider one I use more than the other. I don't get a ton of hair pulled out, but I'd like to see if my constant splits would be held at bay by a seamless comb.

Question for women with fine hair: have your splits subsided with seamless combs? I'm wondering if I should even spend my cash. I have very fine hair.

 

[winona]

abcd09 I have fine hair and I have definitely noticed a reduction of splits since switching to seamless combs. I only use a comb 1X a week if I can help it but I have noticed a difference

 

[naturalagain2]

The brushes are nice as well. I used the Hercules Sagemann paddle brush to blow dry my hair last week and it was sooo nice! It detangles well without snapping out hairs. It really smooths the hair.

 

[Ashawn Arraine]

Has anyone else tried their brushes? I'm eyeballing that Roll-Ka comb also. Has anyone tried this one?

 

[McQuay30]

Have anyone tried the hs13620 and the magic lady star comb by mason?

 

[McQuay30]

bumping for more replies......

thank you soo much for the review and the pics!! and im sorry my reply is soo late! ur review tipped the scale for me.. i was kinda considering that one over the rest, then when i read ur review and saw it in the pics, that decided it for me and i went ahead and ordered the 6450

 

[McQuay30]

Have anyone order the bone combs from Annie International? If so how were they.

 

[abcd09]

I just got my combs today. I bought the 206 and the handheld detangling purse one, but no fine toothed combs because it seems people agree that they rip hair out, seamless or not. I will wash and DC tomorrow so I will be back with results. To be honest, I'm not sure if there will be a huge difference between that and the jilbere like comb I have. Time will tell I guess.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

I can't find seamless combs at my local BSS. I'm happy that I found this thread.
