Buffalo horn combs are hair combs made from the polished and carved horns of the water buffalo, a type of buffalo found in Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe. They are valued for their durability, natural properties, and sustainability. Many buffalo horn combs are made from natural keratin (the same protein that makes up human hair and nails), making them gentle and beneficial for hair. They can feature various colors, shapes, sizes, and tooth configurations to suit all style preferences and hair types.
Whaler’s Locker has a magnificent collection of buffalo horn combs available. Our rich, multi-colored water buffalo horn is sourced from India and handcrafted into one of the dazzling combs we offer. Our striking buffalo horn combs and hair sticks have dragons, birds, or floral carvings, giving each piece a unique and special look. As the water buffalo horn is a natural material, please allow for slight variations from the coloring and designs you see pictured.
Both practical and beautiful, buffalo horn combs are the perfect gift! Unlike regular combs, they do not generate static electricity, which helps them reduce frizz and glide through the hair without snagging, which minimizes breakage. The natural keratin can also help distribute oils from the scalp through the hair to improve strength and shine. However, due to their aesthetic and handcrafted nature, some people prefer to simply display their buffalo horn comb as a collectible item!
No matter how you use your buffalo horn comb, you can guarantee you will own a one-of-a-kind piece that supports the environment and sustainability efforts!
