Fine -Tooth Neem Wood Comb

The Styling Comb is Trutatva's fine-tooth neem wood comb, hand-carved from Kacchi (raw) neem and deep-seasoned with cold-pressed sesame oil — not just surface-sprayed. With approximately 45 closely spaced teeth, it's built for everyday combing, smoothing and styling straight or fine hair.

In Ayurveda, dry neem wood is naturally cooling but can be drying (Ruksha) on its own. Sesame oil is warming (Ushna) and pacifies dryness, so together they create a balanced, therapeutic tool — the oil penetrates the wood's fibres, sealing out moisture damage and releasing nourishing compounds with every stroke.

Why a neem comb instead of plastic? Plastic combs generate static that roughs up the hair cuticle, causing frizz and breakage. This wooden anti-static comb glides smoothly, gently stimulates the scalp to support blood circulation to hair follicles, and is naturally antibacterial — unlike plastic, which can harbour bacteria with repeated scalp contact. It's also fully biodegradable.

This tradition echoes the old household ritual of Surya Paka — burying hand-carved combs in pots of sesame oil and sun-curing them for weeks until the wood drank in the oil and darkened. Trutatva mark engraved along the spine. Handmade.
