A Soothing Companion for Detangling: My Honest Review of the LAF Massaging Oval Comb

I'm a bit of a hair-comb enthusiast, and I have to admit, I often find myself combing my hair way too much, especially when I'm feeling anxious. It's become a sort of self-soothing ritual for me. Plus, my hair tends to get knotted easily, so I'm always reaching for a comb to tame the tangles. I've got a whole collection of combs scattered throughout my home, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I've tried out a bunch of different combs over the years, but I have to say, I'm a big fan of the classic massaging combs. I've had some plastic ones with skeleton designs, but they always left my hair feeling static-y and frizzy. And don't even get me started on the ones with bristle tips - they're a pain to clean, and the dust always seems to get stuck in the bristles.

Massaging combs, on the other hand, are a real winner. They're easy to clean, and they seem to last forever as long as you don't break them. I've had mine for ages, and it still looks and feels like new.

While I was out running errands near my place, I stumbled upon a few combs at the Magnit Kozmetik store, but I ended up falling for the LAF massaging oval comb in Lavender.

I was drawn to the color, and the texture of the comb felt amazing in my hands, so I knew I had to have it.

The full price of the comb was 269 rubles, but with the discount, I managed to snag it for 209 rubles.

The comb itself is made of a lovely lavender-colored plastic. The surface is matte and feels smooth to the touch, but it's got a subtle texture that's really pleasant to run your fingers over.

The comb came with a little tag attached to the handle, which was still on when I bought it. Since there was no extra packaging, I gave it a quick rinse before using it.

As for the origins of the comb, it's made in China, and there's no expiration date, so you can use it until it breaks or gets old. But even if it does get a bit worn out, I'm not one to throw it away - I'll just pack it off to the dacha and use it there instead.

Info from the packagingThe lavender color of this comb is gorgeous, gradually transitioning to a soft pink on the handle.

The comb is about 24 cm long, which is a standard size. The working part of the comb is rounded, with no sharp edges.

Over time, the surface has worn in a bit, and now it feels more comfortable to hold than it did when I first started using it.
