This ‘rolling hairbrush’ helps detangle extremely frizzy hair while also evenly applying haircare products

Posted on by

Designed primarily for afro-textured hair (which can be notoriously difficult to work with), the Nyfasi is a unique detangling hairbrush that separates curls while also uniformly applying creams/shampoos/conditioners. It comes with a 3-part design, including a wide-toothed comb, a textured roller, and a lid. Built with a hollow design, the Nyfasi opens up to let you pour shampoo, conditioner, or mousse into it. Once closed, use it as you’d use a normal comb and the roller helps uniformly distribute the contents inside the brush while gently detangling extreme frizz.

Designer: Dominik Bini

“There are few haircare products designed for the particular requirements of the Black and Afro Hair community, which has largely been ignored by the major beauty brands”, says designer Dominik Bini. Built with a patented mechanism to do two crucial things simultaneously, Nyfasi helps detangle frizzy hair while also applying haircare products evenly onto the frizzy locks. This could be any sort of creamy or gel-based product, be it shampoo, conditioner, mousse, etc. “The product has been extensively designed and tested by the users themselves to celebrate and support natural, healthy Black and Afro hair”, Bini mentions.

Uniquely designed for highly textured hair, the Nyfasi comb makes applying lotions onto your hair easier. Current methods involve taking ‘coin-sized amounts’ of products in your hands and then applying them manually. With Nyfasi’s patent-pending release mechanism, the comb does it with simple strokes, while also separating the hair into individual locks to make them look better. The Nyfasi can be used while bathing or even before/after, and its inner chamber can be used to hold and apply shampoos, conditioners, or a wide variety of haircare products. The products need to have a thick lotion-like consistency, and the Nyfasi doesn’t work with thin hair oils. Studies show that the “application of conditioner [using the Nyfasi] at the point of detangling has been shown to cut lotion use by as much as 70%.”

The Nyfasi is a winner of the iF Design Award for the year 2022.

The hair comb gets a major redesign in over a century

Posted on by

It’s rare to see something as basic as a comb get redesigned, leave alone have a redesigned comb make its way to a crowdfunding website. Meet the SpearWax… It’s the comb-equivalent of a toothbrush that has a toothpaste ejector attached to it, or a loofah that has a bar of soap inside it. The SpearWax, simply put, puts expert styling in the power of your hands by revisiting how the comb functions. SpearWax’s comb, unlike other combs, wasn’t made to just orient your hair in a direction, it was made to condition your hair into the right shape. The comb sits in a proprietary wax solution at all times, and when you pop it out and comb your hair with it, the wax gives your hair a spectacular sheen and definition. In short, it takes you from bed-head to professionally styled in just under a minute so you could literally jump out of bed and into a Zoom meeting while looking your best.

The comb, however, is just half the equation. It shares its role with SpearWax’s solution – an oil-free, non-greasy Pine Rosin-based wax that helps your hair hold shape while giving it a post-conditioner-like shine. The wax-cream sits within a bottle, with SpearWax’s dual-sided comb half-suspended in it. Pop the comb out and use it to define your hair by running it through. The Magic Spears (their words, not mine) of the comb evenly distribute the wax, while guiding your hair in the direction you choose. Larger spears work on your scalp, while smaller spears (located on the opposite end) help comb and define your sideburns. The combs help style your hair while ensuring you don’t get the cream on your hands. Even if you do, the water-based cream easily washes out under a running tap or shower.

Now while I’m no hair expert even by a far stretch, I’m quite the grooming enthusiast and I dedicate ridiculous amounts of time and money towards making my hair look good. Aside from the fact that the SpearWax does something quite different for how men comb their hair (something that hasn’t quite changed in centuries), it also comes designed and formulated by Evan Lee, founder of For:Beaut, a haircare company based right out of Gangnam in South Korea, the cosmetics hub of the world. The SpearWax comes with a refreshing Bahama ocean breeze scent and in three different formulations to suit different hair-types and styles, with the redesigned comb uniting all three variants. You can continue using the comb long after the wax runs out with other creams and serums of your choice, or just opt for a SpearWax refill pack and you’re set… well, your hair is, at least!

Style Your Hair Like a Pro

The biggest difference between a hair stylist and a normal person is: Hair stylists begin styling from the hair roots. Hair wax needs to be evenly distributed from the end of the roots to display that perfect volume and hold. The delicate details of the spear comb combined with the creamy wax can transform you into a professional hair designer.

11 Magic Spears + Sub Spears

With 11 perfectly positioned delicate spears in the comb, the combs can create a suave texture and volume in the hair while creating a natural curl. You might even get asked, “Did you get your hair done today?”

If you want to calm those flyaways on the side, you can also use the sub-spears that’s attached to the cap to tamp them down.

Easily Washable

The creamy hair wax can be washed off easily without much trouble. You won’t see a bit of residue left after one wash.

Curated for Perfect Hair Setting

The soft and smooth wax paired with the non-greasy formulation help create the strongest hold and consistency, and you’ll be able to create whatever hairstyle you want quickly.

Curated Personally at the K-Beauty Hub

SpearWax is created by a hair designer who has used hair wax every single day, possibly every hour. The formulation factors in time, convenience and healthy hair.

Three Different Hair Waxes

How to Use SpearWax

1. Apply on the crown of the head first. Hair may clump if it’s applied on the bangs first.
2. Apply evenly on the top and side hair. Shake in zig-zag lines and apply all the way to the root.
3. Styling Bangs—Use the comb without any wax on it to style.
4. Push the flyaways with the sub spear that can be found when you open the cap.

Stunning Wood-But-Not-Rigid Seating

It’s difficult to believe that a design as beautiful this is composed almost entirely of recycled materials. Named after the shape that makes up its two flexible seating points, COMB is constructed from blown out bike inner tubes and plywood leftovers. The bike tubes form the stretchy surface for the honeycomb-shaped sections that sink in to create a comfy, form-fitting seat when one drops down. When they stand, it pops back up to form a planar surface with the rest of the bench again. It’s the softer side of wood seating!

OTF Switchblade Comb Keeps your Hair Perfect and Pockets Packed

Posted on by

At some point back in the ’80s I have a vivid memory of going to a local fair and realizing that one of the items you could win in a carny game was a comb that looked like a switchblade. At that age, I rarely combed my hair unless my mom yelled at me a few times, but by god I wanted that switchblade comb. After blowing my entire $5 allotment of cash at that game, I finally won my treasure.

Within the next hour I had pinched my fingers several times and broken my epic comb. This Out-the-Front OTF Comb reminds me of that switchblade comb, only it’s cooler because you can’t pinch your fingers and the comb is made from stainless steel instead of cheap plastic.

I don’t even need to comb my hair these days. I prefer a low maintenance buzz cut, because I loathe hair products. I’d still drop the $39.99 at ThinkGeek because it is awesome and reminds me of the ’80s when the most pressing need I had was to get home in time to watch Punky Brewster.
