The history of combs in Korea is so long that they were excavated from the Nakrang Ancient Tombs in the 1st century B.C. and during the Joseon Dynasty, bamboo wares were placed to make chambits.
Chambits are used to tidy up hair with a hairbrush and then to remove impurities from hair sometimes. Usually, combs are made of bamboo, but some are made of godmothers, and others are also made of coarse and dense.
Most of the shapes of the chambits are rectangular. Since ancient times, chambits have been made in Yeongam, Damyang, Naju and Namwon, but only in Yeongam and Damyang. Among them, the Chambit of Yeongam is famous throughout the country for its high quality and long-lasting use.
