Better hair, less waste: this durable British classic replaced my basic plastic combs
As a man in my 40s, I want to keep my hair healthy. Kent’s cellulose acetate combs are gentler on hair – and more sustainable – than disposable plastic ones

TL;DR
- Cheap plastic combs can damage hair follicles through rough teeth, leading to frizz and breakage.
- Kent combs are hand-crafted from cellulose acetate, a smooth, flexible, and durable material.
- Cellulose acetate teeth are polished and rounded, reducing friction and hair stress, especially when damp.
- The Kent 16T comb features dual-spaced teeth for detangling and styling, offering versatility.
- These combs are easy to maintain, resistant to warping from moisture, and an affordable upgrade.
- Kent combs have been handcrafting in England since 1777.
