### Structure and Texture of Ox Horn

Ox horn, like other animal horns, is primarily composed of keratin, a fibrous structural protein also found in hair, nails, and the outer layer of skin in many animals. The structure of ox horn is layered, with a dense outer layer that is harder and a more fibrous inner layer that will contain small natural flaws. The horn is strong yet somewhat flexible, making it a durable material for various applications.

The texture of ox horn can vary. The outer surface is usually smooth and can be polished to a high shine, displaying a range of colours from light tan to deep black, often with striations, bubbles and variations that give each piece a unique appearance. The inner part of the horn, when processed, can also be made smooth but may have a slightly different texture due to its fibrous nature.

### Making Ox Horn Combs

The process of making ox horn combs involves several steps:

1. **Selection and Preparation**: High-quality horns are selected for their size, shape, and colour. The horn is then cleaned and boiled to make it easier to work with.

2. **Flattening**: The horn is cut into manageable pieces and heated until it becomes pliable. These pieces are then pressed flat using a press or hammer. This step requires careful control of temperature and pressure.

3. **Cutting and Shaping**: The flattened pieces are cut into the basic shape of a comb using saws and other cutting tools. The teeth of the comb are then cut, usually with fine saws, to the desired width and spacing.

4. **Sanding and Polishing**: The rough comb is sanded to remove any sharp edges and to smooth the surface. This can be done with various grades of sandpaper, starting with coarse and moving to fine. Finally, the comb is polished to bring out the natural shine of the horn and to create a smooth finish that feels good against the scalp.

5. **Finishing Touches**: Any final adjustments are made, and the comb is given a final polish. Sometimes, decorative elements or engravings are added at this stage.

### Benefits of Using Ox Horn Combs

1. **Natural Material**: Ox horn is a natural, biodegradable material, unlike plastic or nylon, which are synthetic and contribute to environmental pollution.

2. **Gentle on Hair**: Ox horn combs are smooth and have a natural oiliness due to the keratin, which helps to reduce friction and static. This makes them gentler on hair, reducing breakage, frizz and split ends.

3. **Scalp Health**: The rounded, smooth teeth of ox horn combs can massage the scalp, promoting blood circulation and stimulating hair follicles. This can contribute to healthier hair growth.

4. **Durability**: Ox horn combs are strong and durable, often lasting much longer than plastic or nylon combs. They do not easily break or crack and can withstand daily use.

5. **Aesthetic Appeal**: Each ox horn comb is unique, with natural variations in colour and pattern that add to their aesthetic appeal. They can also be polished to a high shine, making them attractive accessories.

In summary, ox horn combs offer several benefits over their plastic and nylon counterparts, combining durability, environmental sustainability, and gentle care for the hair and scalp.
