Does it have a particular fragrance or smell from the oil? Is it made of plastic? How is the oil "infused" into the comb?

Plastic is made from oil. (Oil that has been put through a chemical process and polymers are isolated. Tiny polymer chains that are strung together and heated to make plastic.) So plastic is a synthetic product derived from this man-made chemical process. The starting point for plastic is usually the crude oil petroleum so I assume they just add some Argan oil in the process for this comb? Not sure if that makes it extra slick for tangles then an ordinary comb though.

Dunno about the how of it, but I haven't noticed any smell from the oil. Or from the comb, come to think of it. And yep, it's plastic. Or plastic looking. But it's really sturdy. I outta know, as I can break just about anything if I'm not careful. And I'm rarely careful.

There is no particular smell from the oil. The comb is made of plastic though. As far as how it is infused into the oil, I am not sure. I really only bought it because it seemed like a good sturdy comb from the reviews and I can attest to that. The "oil" part wasn't something I really focused on at all. I can't tell that it even has that in it.

There is no smell that I've noticed. It is made of plastic with the oil infused. There is no oily residue. It looks much like a regular comb, with the exception that it feels very smooth. I think the infusion of the oil contributes to the smoothness of the comb and its ability to glide through the hair more easily. Not so much that the hair will get oil on it. I was more attracted by the fact that it was a seamless, wide-tooth comb for my coily hair. The oil infusion was a bonus. It works very well as a detangler.

I also can't describe the smell...it isn't overbearing, but it smells good (kinda like the shampoo my hairdresser uses). My husband likes it! Hope this helps. :)

It is plastic. I haven't used citrus oils in it as of yet, however since you only put a few drops of oil in water - I would think it would be fine.

Hi Carol P, yes, it is plastic. I like the feel of the oil, and the value. Just recommend finding a smaller dispenser and use this bottle to refill the smaller one. I've been meaning to find a smaller dispenser because I try being careful in pouring it out for massage but still manage to spill more than I need. Hope this helps.

The smell is unique and difficult to describe. It is not floral or perfumy.it smells clean and good. It is personally my favorite scented shampoo because it is nice but compliments my perfume and lotion instead of competing with it . I sometimes use oils in my hair and it doesn't compete with them either. Hope this helps a little bit.

As they are unrefined the fragrance is a natural nutty smell. Since buying this shea butter I prefer it to the Cocoa Butter, I have mixed my own blends with coconut oil and olive oil and whipped it up so its easier to use and you can always add fragrance a few drops of essential oil too

Came with 1 standard blade and several comb sizes (I do not use the combs). Never have oiled mine, so I do not know. Depending on the hair, you might need a blade that is more durable (for thicker coats).

I use it with wild orange oil and others. I know citrus can be hard on plastics. I think because it is diluted with water that might be helpful. I have yet to see a diffuser that is not plastic where the oils go in. Hmmm... The inside container is getting slightly discolored but doesn't seem to affect the operation. I use mine everyday and plan to order another one because I diffuse in my classroom.

it seems kind of raw which gave it a little roughness feel to it. I used a nice wood oil I got for bowls and cutting boards at BBB. Now it seems to be nicer. It certainly does NOT have one of those shiny sealants that makes it almost seem like plastic! It is pretty nice. I would say I like it better every time I use it.

It is made from thin, flexible wire that is tipped with plastic. If you can get a wide toothed comb through your hair, you should be able to use this.

It's plastic inside, but it's a good sturdy plastic that doesn't have to be replaced like some of the other machines. No more parts to buy except for your essential oils. It does leave a little bit in the bottom of the cup that I have to clean out if I want to change scents. The porcelain exterior does really look much nicer than all the plastic ones, we're very pleased with it.

Plastic is plastic, aka chemicals. I would want any oils that I buy to be in a glass container.

The comb is made of hard plastic, not like a traditional hair brush made with bristles. I use an antibacterial wipe to clean it.

No its a paste. Has to be worked in but not greasy. Works for short or long hair. Another one that is similar is fiber. This one has no smell really.

Plastic. It is a very nice diffuser. Works like a champ. Not goofy looking like so many are.

Based on the Mason Pearson web site http://www.masonpearson.com/why.html I believe the handle is plastic. They say "The cellulose plastic handle is hand-polished and any sharp edges are removed to make the hairbrush more comfortable to hold. This handle was developed from the original wooden design which we continue to make in small quantities.". It may be plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap or plasticy. The handle is just the right weight and has a very nice feel.

Just my opinion, it seems like a light machine oil. It has no smell, and appears to have been used in the sharpening process.
