Sandalwood is a class of woods from trees in the genus Santalum. The woods are heavy, yellow, and fine-grained, and, unlike many other aromatic woods, they retain their fragrance for decades. Sandalwood oil is extracted from the woods for use. Sandalwood is often cited as one of the most expensive woods in the world. Both the wood and the oil produce a distinctive fragrance that has been highly valued for centuries. Consequently, some species of these slow-growing trees have suffered over-harvesting in the past.

The natural wooden fibers in Sandalwood combs work great to condition your hair. ... If you're using a natural hair oil, it will blend with the oils in the wood, making a wonderful, nourishing cocktail of goodness for your locks.

2. The best way to clean a wooden comb is to soak it in warm water mixed with mild soap or detergent for 2 to 3 minutes. Gently wipe any dirt or debris from the comb, running a small piece of cloth through each tine. If there are stubborn residue left even after wiping, scrub the comb gently with an old toothbrush.
