Culture insider: Prettiest Chinese combs

A comb used by Empress Dowager Cixi in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Since ancient times, Chinese people have used combs to maintain their health because doctors believed combing one's hair each day was an important need in traditional medicine. It is said that every morning Empress Dowager Cixi spent a long time combing her hair, which helped it stay beautiful even in her 60s. [Photo/baike.baidu.com]
