How to identify the genuine horn comb?

-5 steps to identify the genuine horn combs.

This is the internet era with online stores everywhere, so buying a horn comb is not as difficult as before. Many people who are interested in horn combs don’t know how to identify a genuine horn comb and a fake one.

The most significant difference is that genuine horn comb will not produce static electricity; giving off a ‘horn’ smell when heated. It will also feel sturdy when holding because it is heavier than the same sized plastic combs. Not only that, but protein grain is very common to be seen on a horn comb. Fake horn combs have none of the above features. As to how to judge the quality of horn combs, inferior ones are usually lacking glossiness and have cracks on the comb body. Horn comb is a natural product, so each count is a unique artwork.

1. Texture contrast

Genuine horn combs should be straight, smooth, sturdy and mellow.

Fake horn combs are usually made by special plastic material, but they are lacking glossiness and feel poorly in your hand.

2. Smell contrast

Dip some water on a finger, and use the finger to rub the horn comb surface quickly, then a smell of burned hair or feather will come out. This is because of the similar composition between the horn and hair/feather as above.

Fake horn combs have no such smell.

3. Sinking test

Genuine horn comb will sink in the water while the plastic ones float.

4. Static test

Genuine horn combs are conductive, they don’t produce static, while the plastic combs do.

5. Burning test

Using a lighter to burn a genuine horn comb, the comb will not fire. The burnt part will become powder, and meanwhile, you will feel the hair or nail burning smell.

Plastic combs? Of course, burnt plastic smell.
