A rat tail comb should do two things well: comb and section. This one does both with the kind of precision that only comes from a well-made tool — and in purple heart wood, it does it with a color unlike anything else on your counter. Handcrafted from a dense, durable Latin American hardwood with a rounded grip that settles comfortably in the hand and an extended tail built for expert sectioning and lifting, it moves through hair with quiet confidence. Fresh cut, the wood carries a grayish-purple hue; with exposure to light, it deepens into a rich, distinctive eggplant purple that only gets better with age.
