According to the *Compendium of Materia Medica*: "Boxwood is highly valued for its 'lack of fire'..." "Its wood is dense and smooth, making it excellent for combs, carvings, and seals," and it possesses properties of "clearing heat, promoting dampness, and detoxifying." Modern medicine has also discovered that boxwood contains buxine, which can inhibit fungal growth, as well as reduce inflammation, stop bleeding, and repel mosquitoes and flies. Therefore, using a boxwood comb for hair care is notably effective for relieving itching and dandruff. Boxwood can alleviate headaches. Combing the hair with a boxwood comb promotes blood circulation in the head. Consistent use can strengthen the body and mind, soothe nerves, improve hearing and vision, and also fortify hair roots, preventing hair loss. **All our creations are crafted from carefully selected natural bamboo and wood materials, with original designs and hand-carved and polished finishes.** We combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, cherishing the inherent beauty of wood and bringing nature into people's daily lives. We firmly believe that "wood" is a material with warmth, its colors and textures full of natural stories. The unknown imbues everything with surprise, much like the ever-changing wood grain. Therefore, even for wooden pieces made from the same type of wood, their grain and color will differ, making each millimeter unique. **Precautions:** 1. Before washing, use the pointed end of a tail comb to remove any hair tangled at the base of the teeth. Then, gently brush back and forth along the direction of the teeth with a soft, small brush (like a toothbrush). Rinse thoroughly with clean water, **pat dry with a paper towel, and air dry in a ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight.** 2. You can apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the surface of the comb, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it sit for a while. This will make the comb smoother to use. 3.
