African Butterfly Hair Accessories

2012-01-24T10:43:00.000+10:00

There are SO many different kinds of hair accessories on the market today. Things have come a long way since the traditional bun or having your long hair plaited and then wound around your head - actually I have seen a few ladies who are trying that out nowadays.

What makes the African Butterfly combs so special is that when you have inserted the second comb and you use the patented interlocking feature your comb will not move until you take it out. More and more brides are using hair accessories from African Butterfly.

If you live in Australia chances are you live in a place where the summers are really hot and having your hair down just makes it so much hotter. African Butterfly hair combs can be used in a variety of styles and help to keep your hair off your face and neck whilst still looking great.

The African Butterfly combs are also great for those mornings when nothing seems to be going according to plan - you have not arranged the children's school lunches, you haven't put petrol in the car yet and you really should have washed your hair yesterday. The hair answer is simple, in just 30 seconds you can have your hair up in a comb and ready to tackle the rest of the issues.

So you think that you will never be able to work out how to use the African Butterfly hair comb! Think again, they are really simple and each comb comes with a brochure showing detailed images on how to interlock the combs. People who have tried the combs at the market have been flabbergasted at how easy they are to use.

Your hair type is thin, thick, curly, shoulder length, down your back, afro, layered ..... no matter what your hair type there IS an African Butterfly comb that will suit your needs. For thicker hair I suggest the combs with the thick teeth - this helps with the getting the combs into your hair. They still interlock like the other combs. Thick teeth combs are also great for afro styled hair.

If your hair is thinning then I would definitely suggest the Chameleon sized comb for your use. They are exactly the same as the larger combs in terms of beading but have a 7cm spine as opposed to the normal 10cm spine. These smaller combs also interlock.

Thinking about making a little pocket money at your local market - why not try selling African Butterfly hair combs. Your comb stock will be posted to you and comes with brochures, backing boards and packets for the marketing. There's a place on the marketing material for you to place a sticker with your name and details so that customers can contact you for more. How easy can it be. Send an email to info@africanbutterfly.com.au for more information on distributing the combs.

Why not pop into the shop now and have a browse around. You never know what you might find.

Have a wonderful day.

There are some beautiful new combs in the Dalena and Ndalena ranges on the website.

There are slight differences in the beading patterns on the Dalena and Ndalena ranges.

The Ndalena (shown in the image above on the extreme left and right) has a bead in the centre point of the comb whereas the Dalena (shown in the centre of the image above) has two crosses across the comb with a top and bottom row of beads.

If you have hair that is layered I would suggest that you look at the Ndalena range as it has more of a "net" effect over your hair and will give you a better hold.

Both ranges have more expensive beads and can easily be dressed up for evening or dressed down for day wear.

Remember that you do not have to wear the comb colour that matches your hair as you don't see much of the combs when they are in your hair. It is the beading that is important - so go ahead, be bold and order a comb of a different colour. Personally my hair is blonde and I wear beige, brown, black, pink and pearl gold combs.

Hope that you found this post interesting and I look forward to seeing you in the shop.

By the way - at the time of writing (07/02/2010) there is a discount special on Chameleon size combs. There are Chameleon Dalena combs in that range as well. These - as you can read from another post on comb sizes - are great for ladies with finer hair.

AFRICAN BUTTERFLY COMB SIZES

2011-02-07T18:50:00.000+10:00

There are three main sizes in the African Butterfly combs. They are combs with thick teeth, combs with regular size teeth and the smaller Chameleon comb. A brief explanation and a photo of each is summed up below:

THICK TEETH COMBS - these are really great for ladies with thick hair. A couple of ladies who have afro hair have also commented on how great these are. The thicker teeth are positioned a little further away from each other so that they glide through the hair with ease. These combs do interlock.
REGULAR SIZE TEETH COMBS - these combs can be worn by most hair types from thick to fine. The teeth of these combs are not as thick as the Thick Teeth combs and are slightly closer together. These combs also interlock.
CHAMELEON SIZE COMBS - these combs are smaller in size along the spine than the two mentioned above. The Chameleon comb spine measures approximately 7cm as opposed to the approximately 10cm of the Thick and Regular teeth combs. Chameleon combs are great for ladies with regular or thin hair. They are especially wonderful if you have very fine, wispy hair. Ladies with fine hair feel that the other combs look too big in relation to their hair mass (or lack thereof) and that the Chameleon comb is perfectly sized. Children also love wearing the Chameleon size comb. The Chameleon combs interlock.

If you have purchased a particular size comb in the last 2 or 3 months and would like to swap it for another size please let me know.

At the time of writing this Blog post (07/02/2011) there is a special discount on the Chameleon combs online.

Calling all the ladies out there who own an original African Butterfly comb. I would love to receive your feedback on the combs - good, bad and ugly.

Without your feedback a product has a harder time in "making it to the big league" - please take 5 minutes to comment.

Your feedback is sincerely appreciated.

What's the difference between the combs?

2009-11-27T12:27:00.000+10:00

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.

What's the deal with double beaded hair combs from Africa?

You see these combs being worn by ladies around the shopping centre. You see ladies at evening functions sporting African Butterfly combs with the most stunning beadwork. You see people at work wearing the combs. You see combs whereever you go nowadays.

Seeing the combs being worn is just one aspect - the other is the variety of styles, beadwork and sizes of the combs. There are regular size (approximately 10cm on the spine) with thin teeth and the regular size with thick teeth for ladies with thicker hair.

Then you find the Chameleon combs which are approximately 7cm on the spine in various brands. These are great for ladies with finer hair or an alternative for ladies with thicker hair to do the half up style. Kids are loving these.

The Ladybug combs are tiny at 4cm on the spine. More and more people are buying these in pairs (special price of $25 for 2) for little girls as young as five.

Any way you look at it, African Butterfly combs are here to stay and looking at the way the business has grown over the last two years the sky is the limit!
