*Listing is for 1 Vintage Boar Bristle Teasing Comb

These combs are just like the original powder/pomatum combs we had- except these are a little more vintage because they have the plastic bristles embedded into them. These are amazing for vintage styles, because you need a good boar bristle comb for vintage brush-outs and shaping, but these can also be used for historical purposes as well. If you would prefer, you can clip the plastic pieces out (there are only 16 sets) down the center.

We have been searching high and low for historical brushes and combs, and we think this one really measures up! This is a powder comb with the handle being used to part the hair. They are also great for "frizzing". This lovely high quality wooden comb is very similar to Diderot's depiction shown in the last photo.

How to use 18th Century Powder and Pomade:
After you get your first layer of pomatum (the books from that time recommend the first layer of pomade should be a soft pomatum) and powder - you will want to incorporate them well by using this comb to smooth everything out and work that powder in. Once it is worked in and even (you don't want powder blotches) then you can style with your hard pomatums, and irons, or start to dress your hair (which is where you would use the hard pomatums). This beautiful wooden comb then allows you to frizz (if needed) and the bottom is used for parting which is talked about a lot in historical texts.

Powdering, Pomading, & Frizzing the Hair - 1780
"The hair thus parted, lay a good deal of powder in it and comb it will through, opening the hair in layers as you put the powder and then soft pomatum and combine it from root to point as you put it in. After you have put the pomatum in once, take more powder and comb it in then add more pomatum till you find it sufficiently filled. For the fortnight after, you will find a small quality will do....The old powder and pomatum being combed out, is of the utmost service to the hair as it becomes quite a paste at the roots of the hair.... Frizzing those hairs is done by taking the hair even in your hand, carrying your comb obliquely and not to stiff, frizzing those hairs that are shortest, close to the head and continuing the motion, till the hair is frizzed in equal manner....The hair must be frizzed three times and a quarter of an inch every stoke" - Moore

SHELF LIFE: Unopened products that are stored in darkness with cool temperatures will last one year. Once the product is opened, they have a shelf life of 3 to 6 months.

Note: With these recipes and products being all natural and organic as well as historical- they are prone to change consistency in varying weather conditions. That does not take away from their potency or their quality- it just means that it's a natural product without any chemical additives. Our products may melt. We can't guarantee what consistency they will arrive in during the summer months. If this happens- put them in the fridge and give them a stir once cool.
