Product Description:
Crafted from FSC-certified peachwood, this premium Hotel Wooden Comb combines luxury, sustainability, and scalp-friendly functionality. Its dual-teeth design (9mm wide + 2mm fine) gently detangles wet or dry hair while distributing natural scalp oils, ideal for post-swim grooming in coastal resorts. Enhanced with food-grade sandalwood oil, it delivers an anti-static effect (-85% ion transfer) proven in arid climates like Dubai, eliminating frizz and flyaway hair. The comb’s reinforced neck joint withstands 9,000+ sanitization cycles, reducing housekeeping breakages by 92%. Biodegradable in 180 days (vs. 450+ for plastic) and salt-humidity resistant (zero warping at 95% RH per ISO 9227), it aligns with zero-waste initiatives at luxury properties like Six Senses Seychelles. Optional laser-engraved branding (24k gold) elevates amenity kits for VIP suites.
