The Millie Comb is made by hand in New York of crystals and hand-painted butterflies, on a silver or light antique gold plated Japanese comb, which is designed to stay firmly in place, once other pins have the hairstyle securely fastened. We recommend treating this comb as you would a piece of jewelry, and storing in the dust bag when not in use. Avoid contact with water, perfume, and other chemicals, including hairspray, which should be used before placement in the hair.
