Giorgio G28 Detangling Comb, Pocket and Travel Hair Detangler for Thick Hair – Wide Tooth, Handmade, Saw-Cut, and Polished for Wet and Dry Everyday Care

Don’t be fooled by the “portable” aspect
It’s not just a purse size detangler (or back pocket for me cause Imma dude.) This is the best tool I’ve found for wet-combing 2c-3b mixed curls running between 18 and 24 inches long. I use it in the shower with conditioner/mask in, as well as out when I detail, apply product, and style. I use it in the morning and between rinse days to do a quik-damp detangle and texture. My hair is very very coarse with tons of volume and layers – I have other combs but this is the only one I actually need, that does every part of the job my fingers can’t. I need something that can accurately hit scalp layers underneath and pull captured sections out without grabbing other stuff and forming worse captures, but it also has to be extremely permissive.The smooth, wide teeth with wide spacing and steep pitch are super permissive, never snagging on my vulnerable, drenched, treatment-steeping hair. I put the treatment on the comb itself and use the narrow, circular shape and control over angle to slot it under all of the overhanging layers to get to root adjacent layers that are almost impossible to fully expose and directly touch otherwise. It’s good for fishing with how freely you can rotate it, good for getting under tough spots without the risk of grabbing har that you don’t wanna grab, but can’t see the long comb grabbing underneath and over. The narrow width of this thing lets you pitch steeper to the scalp without fear of yanking on the wrong areas as you do so. You don’t have to risk messing up already-free hair to get only where the tangles are with the medallion’s short row of permissive gaps.I don’t know a curly who’s hair has less than 5 directions it comes out at by scalp region, and those super tall and wide detanglers end up combining regions in ways you don’t see or feel directly and wonder why some parts are frizzy and uncomfortable all of the time. It’s because of locked strands that gravity wants to take in different directions pulling each other deeper out of reach. Cheap, wide and tall combs work great until you get the length for alla that to start happening. When the ends of your left bangs can go past the back of your head and sit right next to hair from the right crown, it becomes a problem to go from hanging root to end without making thousands of the most destructive tangles you can have, especially if you use hydrating oils. Seaworthy knots with sealant to keep from the elements. Eery time it happens, you can be set back in your routine indefinitely, probably losing significant amounts of hair. My bangs are the longest sections of my hair, but there are layers immediately underneath the very frontmost sections that broke to half of their original length from often being stuck in those black holes, captured by neck hair back past the ear. You need something that can probe all of that and not cause damage. This medallion would’ve saved my bangs. I can set a part from my bangs to the bottom of my neck by hanging my hair straight down and plucking from the bottom layers up, and nothing is crossed over top of the part. The crossovers come from underneath, so you pull the underneath together, discreetly. It feels amazing, when the cuticles of locked strands dislodge and let the needles fall instantaneously out of the scalp.I really gotta stress that the size is all strength, no weakness. You’d think detangling less at a time is slower. But the manuverabilitu and access lets you get to everything quicker and faster, with no need to keep going back for stragglers. I used to turn the shower off and spend 30-80 minutes trying to get 80% detangler. Now the full job is 10-15 minutes to reach 95-99% free scalp and it has revitalized my hair so that I’m changing the salon trip from the full “lets start your hair over with difficult and involved scissor texturing and 2 year’s worth of your length gone for $200” to a regular 3-month, $60 maintenance snip.It’s like a finger trap, and this comb solves riddle. Pulling only makes it worse it tightens when you try to pull it apart, like a proper boot knot. You need to finesse it, slip in and tease out. But again, a regular wide detangler easily crosses and blends sections, pulling on the trap instead of of releasing the left from the right. Other times there are even frizzy strands that flip backwards over their exit angle, and the big comb just pulls them tight across the part and meshes them into the track on the other side, when you maybe try to work a completely disparate lower and outer section on the other sideb of your face. I get that most with the crown, where the hair leaves perpendicular to the scalp, and has sections that naturally hang in every quadrant of a 360 as they dry and coil. That can venus fly trap other sections and make your whole head act tangled and thirsty. They slowly spin over and pull stuff in while you’re cold chillin. Forget wind and humidity.For me, these things will happen. It’s always fixable, but it’s steady double digit weekly hours of extea work to deal with when no combs you find ever get the point. A smaller comb like this makes it possible to simply tilt your head at the angle that makes that whole region hang straight from scalp to end, and only comb those parts at that angle to free them from adjacent snags. You often don’t even have to go for the deep tangles because gravity and the comb take them back home, meaning you can just start from the bangs on one side, go around, and have everything detangled from yer scalp down in minutes, and even keep a clean part. If you can get your whole head separated by root direction, it’s a game changer. You can wash less often, use less product, and feel like a new person with the comfort, recoverability, texture, and order this thing coaxes when put to full use. This is truly the best I’ve found in a decade of long hair for those pesky layers under the top ones, that come down from the crown/part boundaries, the roots nearest to the ear front and back, the sides of the nape and center lower neck… all of these places that can crisscross so badly that they actually wrap around your head… it just doesn’t always look that way because big sections get scattered as strands and hide in the tapestry, pulling on everything. You could have a quip from your lower neck going back over the shoulder to join your bangs right now, canopying the whole back into hanging clusters and making your bangs in one spot inexplicably hurt at the same time, and you’d never find it with a standard wide comb.If you have big sections of curls that awkwardly stick together with needle prick tension on the scalp, you need this, water, slippery condish, a mirror and a little patience. It might change your life. It gets at literally anything on any part of your head and works precise, lets you control the aggression from “Floaty top layer frizz frisk” to “full scalp dredge ops.”One other tip: The splotchy Tokyo pattern tortoise options are actually the better version. Not only do they look better, with translucency and depth, but they’re actually thicker than the clear variants with the streaks. Any Georgio you buy with the speckles will be thicker than the standard brown counterpart. Like, 50% thicker. I find they work better, and the points are more comfortable.I thought my damage was worse before this comb, like everything from the top lost multiple inches, but it was just captured up in the canopy. Going section by section with this made me wonder if my hair would clear 3′ and just keep going with some TLC.My favorite use is actually to turn it parallel to the direction of my hair and basically swipe down like a credit card, doing a light scoop in the direction opposite of the hemisphere and it makes hanging layers that are vertically separate but twisted together release like they were never stuck for weeks. Spiral tangles are more like actual knots. I could spend hours a day struggling to get at just a couple of em for a whole week and this thing trivializes all of it with a slide and a swoop.As a wet comb, it’s like a reverse afro pick. You can pluck the roots free and propagate the stuff up there for scalp health. The points do feel like points, but they’re less sharp and more exfoliating. The difference from the true pick comb is that it encourages large, vertically seperated spirals and tames volume. It works product in and not out. I love the texture it leaves as a finisher too. Just a magical thing, and so simple. But nobody else makes one.

Great comb in every way
I had a small comb like this that was given to me as a gift years ago, I use it every day right out of the shower to detangle my wet hair. I wanted another one to keep in my travel bag. I bought one of these for myself, and one for my adult daughter, as we both have long hair and have travelled together a few times when we have forgotten a comb and ended up “finger combing” out of the shower. This comb is the perfect size, so nice that is doesn’t have a handle taking up space which also allows for gentler control as you comb, and the spacing and sizing of the tines is exactly what I wanted so it doesn’t pull out or flatten my hair. The feel of the comb is of substantial quality and elegance, it is smooth and supple, and a good weight and strength. I mailed one of them to my daughter in a little card “just because”, and she LOVED it!! Total win. Very nice quality for the price, I highly recommend.

Good, pocket sized comb
works pretty well and best part is the size, have been able to take it on travel and fits perfectly in a small purse or a clutch without any issues

Amazing pocket/purse or everyday comb/detangling comb!
Very surprised and was hesitant but I love this Giorio G63 Wide Tooth Pocket Comb! My hair is fine and fragile due to bleaching. I usually straighten my hair except during the hot humid summer months since the natural curls come out (it tends to frizz due to the humidity and HighLift blonding.) This comb doesn’t pull or snag my hair and doesn’t hurt my scalp. The material is smooth on the teeth and the edges are smooth as well. Very gentle on the locks and does the job without frizzing the curls. Just enough to smooth out my fine hair when wearing it straight. This come is very pretty and sturdy, so I bought two! Highly recommend and believe it will do a very good job with longer/thicker hair as well.

Nice quality comb. Bought it for a purse comb and it works well and doesn’t pull or snag. Looks classic.
