What's the difference between the combs?

There are a number of combs trading on the market at the moment and it might be a little confusing to know "the real thing" from the others.

The Chinese counterfeit combs have a curvy edge to the spine.  Sometimes the beading pattern on these is actually not much of a "pattern" in the true sense of the word.  If you notice these combs being traded in your area I would love to get an Counterfeit Combs Trading with the trader's name, contact number and company name.

The other combs on the market in competition to the original African Butterfly are called Hair Magic.  These also carry a guarantee for one year but in terms of the strength and durability of the plastic are not as strong as the African Butterfly.  They also do not interlock together in the same fashion.  The pricing is cheaper than that of the African Butterfly.

So .... where does this leave you?  If you want an original African Butterfly comb it will have a tag on it that authenticates it as an original.  You do pay a little more of a premium for purchasing a quality product.  You can guarantee your purchase of your comb by clicking the subscribe link on http://www.africanbutterfly.com.au/

So .... you now have to ask yourself "Do you want to spend a little more money to get a product that is superior or do you want to spend less money now and perhaps have to spend more later on getting the real thing?"  The second option also begs the question "Is this impulse purchase going to give "double beaded hair combs" a bad reputation because you purchased a lesser model?  I hope not.

Read up on the combs and make your own decision.
