Curling combs
In the early 80s, my grandfather (the last master comb maker in Germany) started making the wide-toothed comb. That was the first step towards our curling combs of today.
It was very unusual for him. Until then, a hair comb had to be fine, the hair had to be parted as finely as possible so that the man's hair lay well and the woman's long hair could be combed neatly and tidily into a knot at the nape of the neck.
The wide teeth could not be produced with every combing machine. A search was made in the warehouse of long unused combing machines, the right machine was found, the appropriate saw blades were bought and the production of one of the most successful toothings - the wide toothings - began.
My grandfather was a pioneer of his time. The change from plastic back to wood and then the development of the wide toothing were essential factors for the steady growth of the company, which has existed today for 175 years.
For really curly hair, which is also often worn curly, the wide tooth is still too narrow. That's why my father developed the extra-wide teeth in the mid-90s.
Since then, every curly head finds its favourite comb.
Woods like cherry and plum, which are very lively and cheerful, make the curls bounce even more elastically, in my opinion.
Today we offer our curling combs in different lengths. At 10 cm long, the curling comb is ideal to take with you. The most popular is the 12 cm curling comb. It fits well in the hand and the length of 12cm is just comfortable to take along. Our 16cm curling combs are suitable for the bathroom and for long hair that likes to be combed wide.
