Description
Indispensable for professionals and autodidacts, this metal needle comb enables to separate hair strands with great precision. It can trace the lines impeccably, make plated braids or backcomb wavy or curly hair to magnify them. As its name suggest, The Architect will be the perfect companion in building the sophisticated hairstyles.
This comb of the Officine will masterfully coax hair whether it is curly, coarse or frizzy. Its notched teeth make disentangling of curly hair much smoother. It is available in three shades: mahogany, tortoiseshell or ivory. Good-sized, this comb still easily slips into a bag.
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 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.
