The story · February 2022

Someone like me needs this.

In February 2022, I was physically and emotionally exhausted after a long shift on a busy antenatal and postnatal ward. Deflated, I picked up an object to loosen my Afro curly braided hair, hoping to prevent breakages.

Loosening and detangling with that object was easier, faster and far less painful than using a normal comb. A few months later, I tried the same routine with a straight-toothed comb. The difference was immediate and clear.

I searched the functional mechanism of the object, and the penny dropped. I screamed it out loud: “Someone like me needs this!”

Hair textures vary, but the struggle of detangling, whether braids, curls, coils or straight hair, is one many people share. What I had found was not just my own solution. It was a 2-in-1 design that could loosen protective styles and detangle with ease, for anyone who wants gentler hair care without giving up comfort or time.

That determination gave birth to SComb.
