cūra comb [yellow kelp]

$555.00

handmade cast glass comb
15cm x 7.3cm x 1cm


for use on wet hair


the Latin of the word cure — cūra — means anxiety ♥︎

it is also the root of:

care | to have cares, to be anxious
curiosity | an anxious inquisitiveness
secure | without anxiety and care

these combs are meant to be used lovingly: slowly, gently, and intentionally. they are intended to be used as a point of connection: with oneself or as an act of care between lovers or loved ones.

i created them as a tool for disentangling, transforming and reclaiming my own grief. i missed the way a lover used to comb my hair: there is nothing more intimate and connective than the ritual of combing another’s hair. but then i thought, “i can comb my own hair. I can love myself in my very own way.”

i have come to understand that so much of life is about letting go. the materiality of these combs in glass makes them both enduring and fragile. holding them—using them—is a reminder to consider what we hold on to, what we let go of. how we hold ourselves. how we hold others.
