🌿 Grain — Natural wood shows irregular patterns. Too-uniform surfaces usually signal synthetic material.

⚖️ Weight — Solid hardwood feels grounded. Unusually light pieces often indicate engineered materials.

✋ Touch — Real wood is smooth and slightly warm, never plastic-like.

No lacquer. No wax. Two simple tests:

Every Orivein comb is 100% natural wood — nothing added, nothing coated.

🔍 Wax test — Scratch the surface with a fingernail. White, waxy residue means wax-coated.

💡 Lacquer test — Tilt under light. A mirror-smooth, high-gloss sheen means lacquered.
