More Than a Hair Accessory.
A Piece of Art.

Every African Butterfly Hair Comb begins in South Africa, where skilled artisans carefully handcraft each piece one at a time.

Since 2002, our mission has remained unchanged: create beautiful hair accessories that are comfortable to wear, gentle on your hair, and made to last.

Never mass-produced. Every bead is individually selected. Every comb is woven by hand. Every design reflects the artistry and tradition behind its creation.

Today, women around the world wear African Butterfly Hair Combs because they are looking for something different — something authentic.

When you choose African Butterfly, you choose craftsmanship, Fair Trade, and a product made with care from beginning to end.
