My Invention: The Scomb and New Thing I Love
Back in 2007, I had an idea to invent what I call “The Scomb”. I was very passionate and excited about it. I spent a lot of time and money shortly after I had the idea to design the thing and figuring out logistics. I have several technical illustrations of it, but I’ll just show you the basic design for now. A few months ago I came across the Roots Only applicator comb. I was a little upset that my idea was similar, but also relieved because it’s something I wanted to use so badly. Roots Only doesn’t have all the features of my Scomb, but it works for what I need.
First here it is, “The Scomb”.
What’s the purpose? Well, most highly textured hair is prone to dryness. Some say it’s because the scalp’s oils have a hard time getting to the length and ends of hair because of all the bends, curves and kinks in textured hair. Some say it’s because curly hair produces less sebum than straight hair. All that being said, I found it beneficial to focus my cleansing/shampooing on my scalp. I also found it beneficial to oil my scalp. My Scomb and the Roots Only applicator comb make reaching the scalp so easy. I used to use a single-tip applicator bottle until I found the Roots Only Applicator Comb a few months ago. I use it for cleansing my scalp with diluted shampoo and for oiling my scalp with my favorite stimulating hair oils. I gently scratch my scalp with the tips of the comb piece when I wash and when I oil. It’s one of the best things that I’ve found for hair in a long time. It was actually invented for and is marketed as a root touch up tool for hair coloring. Recently, the company began to market a “Hair Growth Oil & Moisturizing Kit”, but if you have the basic applicator comb, you can use your favorite oil. It’s only about $5.99 and they are sold at beauty stores and Wal-mart.
So, besides my Jilbere shower comb and Denman Brush, this applicator comb is definitely the latest and greatest addition to my hair care arsenal and I love that it was invented by a woman who just had an idea one day and acted on it. That said, if you have any ideas in your head about whatever, make them happen. Act!
