Description
Ideal to touch up inconvenient swirls on short, straight hair, fine moustaches and other fringes, Il Piccolo comb restores magnificence to all types of locks with just one stroke. Small in size, and available in mahogany, ivory or tortoiseshell colours, it easily slips into a bag or pocket.
The youngest of the Officine comb family, Il Piccolo can also be used delicately to tame the very fine hair of young children. To celebrate first births or tame the first swirls, it is a first choice comb to console toddler hair.
This comb is handcrafted in Switzerland by one of the last manufacturers in Europe. Cut from a block of very high quality acetate, it is shaped, sculpted and then polished. The teeth and notches are especially arranged so as not to injure the hair. A plant fibre, the acetate reveals a unique pattern specific to each comb. This luxurious object is stored in our famous velvet pouches to be transported safely.
“The mother’s hand casually lifts a hair lock from her child’s forehead and bequeaths a tenderness that a lifetime will not deplete.” Christian Bobin, Les Ruines du ciel (2009)

The Officine's prowess
This is undoubtedly an exercise resulting from the principles of goldsmithing. Twelve steps are necessary to manufacture each comb of the Officine Universelle Buly. The process begins with the cutting of acetate according to the template of the chosen model. The shaping then consists of adjusting the acetate to the design of the comb. Polishing and dulling are then necessary steps to round off the angles and sharpen the teeth. The manufacture of the comb continues with the meticulous making of the teeth: the acetate is sawed to draw the teeth that are then faceted.
Ultimate beauty treatment: the sanding smoothes the surface and rounds the tips of the teeth. Lastly, the comb is brushed.
The steam bath gives shine and the polishing carried out by the expert hands of the craftsman complete this high quality product of great merit.
Advice for Use & Care
Softness and dexterity are the key words of a successful disentangling operation: it is unnecessary to force your way or to comb too frankly.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS This comb can be cleaned with a cloth and a little water. A little trick known to all eyewear manufacturers, being a natural fibre, acetate must be hydrated twice a year with a rich texture such as shea or coconut butter.
It is recommended to keep the acetate of this comb away from sudden changes in temperature or high temperatures (direct sunlight, hot water).

Composition
Cellulose acetate, a luxurious material, was invented in 1865 by Paul Schützenberger and then perfected at the very beginning of the 20th century by two Swiss chemists Camille and Henri Dreyfus. This biopolymer, based on cotton, has several properties that make it the perfect component for Officine combs: soft to the touch, it is perfectly resistant to water and the passage of time.

The Officine Recommendation
If you touch up a swirl on the head of a young child, the most important thing is that you do it with great delicacy. A few drops of the very soft coconut pulp oil, a universal nourishing treatment with a dry touch, rich in vitamin A, which is suitable for both the young and the elder, can also help style fragile hair.
Nothing is more intimate than a comb with the initials or name of its owner. In order to make it completely yours and claim full ownership, combs can be customised.
This service provided makes the comb an ideal gift: have the initials or the name of its future recipient engraved….so that he becomes the happy owner.
“Remember that a few right gestures and well-chosen tools are as effective as many beauty formulas.”
