Collection: French Hair Combs

Choose a shape for your style

Think about where you want the eye to go. A bow shape gives a gathered hairstyle a clear focal point, while a speckled comb adds detail in a more understated way. The Velvet Bow Hair Comb can bring a soft texture to a simple twist; the Cellulose Acetate Speckled Hair Comb offers a different surface and pattern.

Next, consider scale. A larger-looking detail may suit a fuller twist or a style gathered low at the back, while a smaller accent can feel balanced in a half-up look. Compare the shape with the amount of hair you plan to gather rather than choosing by the product name alone. Exact measurements are on each product page, along with a Hold level estimated from size and construction.

Wear it in a twist or half-up style

For a simple twist, gather the hair at the back and turn it upward or inward until the ends are tucked against the head. Hold the twist with one hand, then guide the comb teeth into the gathered section so they catch hair along the edge of the twist. Adjust the comb’s angle until it sits neatly with the shape of the hairstyle.

For a half-up look, gather hair from above the ears and bring it to the back of the head. Twist the gathered section once or twice, then slide the comb into it. Leave the remaining hair loose, or smooth it with your fingers for a more relaxed finish. Pair a bow comb with a simple outfit when you want the accessory to stand out; choose a speckled acetate detail when you want pattern without adding another focal point. If the hairstyle feels too tight, loosen the gathered hair and try again rather than forcing the comb into place.

Materials and everyday care

This collection features velvet and acetate. The Acetate Polka Dot Bow Hair Comb pairs acetate with a bow shape, while velvet offers a softer surface. Consider the material as well as the shape when choosing an accessory to go with your outfit and hairstyle.

Handle the comb by its spine when placing it in your hair, and avoid pushing it through a knot. After wearing it, remove loose strands gently. Keep velvet dry and brush away surface lint with a light touch. For acetate, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth; avoid soaking it or leaving it near strong heat. Store the comb where it will not be pressed under heavier items, so its shape and surface are less likely to be marked.
