Review (3/5): Does not bind to hair easily
I own sandalwod, buffalo horn, and this chacate preto (it was never mentioned I'm pretty sure it's an African Chacate Preto - very expensive wood) wooden combs. This one is beautiful, no doubt about that! Same weight as sandalwood. But this wood doesn't have good binding property to them as they glide through my hairs, it feels like floating whereas sandalwood and horn combs make full contact with my scalp. This thing doesn't do that. Doesn't feel natural at all. The gliding action is more compatible to plastic type. Here's my final conclusion: if you have Afro, do NOT buy horn comb you need 100% sandalwood, for everyone else sandalwood or horn works equally good. A white person might consider just buffalo horn comb with wooden handle, everything else is second place. And one last thing when messing with natural product, don't drop or you're on your own :)
