Combs and small combs, known as peinetas or peinecillos or just ornamental combs, are a Spanish essential accessory to wear with a flamenco dress or another traditional costume. Besides, it is the perfect ornament for your flamenco attire. This accessory is used to add a splash of colour to your hair and, thanks to its large shape, it slims women’s neck. This hair ornament is usually worn with a flower under a flamenco or sevillana dress, or even for flamenco dancers’ dresses. The most valuable peinetas are those that are totally handcrafted. Our nacre and acetate peinetas’ fretworks are handmade and, the more difficult the design is and the more patterns it has, the more the peineta is valuated, because of the large number of hours required finish it.
TAMARA Flamenco expert assistants highly recommend you to wear a big comb or two medium-size small combs (the same or different colour). If it is worn with a flower, it is appealing to use different colours to those ornaments in order to make a colour contrast that will make your attire to look perfect.
Regarding the location, the comb may be worn in a side as well as in the top of the head; it depends on the hairstyle and your tastes.
TAMARA Flamenco works with different materials for its accessories. Among those used on our ornaments, you may find:
- Acetate comb: Acetate is a very flexible material that has a beautiful and shiny finish. It is a material extremely hard to break or deform. Therefore, these ornaments may last a long time in perfect conditions and, if they are well cared of, they may be passed to the next generation.
- Dyed nacre comb: Its nacreous-like reflexion remind of the inside of a shell. It is with no doubt the material that applies the most elegance to an ornament, because of its different and shining colour scheme. This material is known for its durability so, if nacre combs are cared of properly, they can undoubtedly pass on the next generations in perfect condition.
- Plastic comb: This comb is made of plastic, so its durability and resistance is lower. However, if you are looking for a cheaper flamenca comb for a specific time, this is with no doubt the best option because of its incredible quality-price ratio.
