2. Smell Contrast: Dip some water on a finger and use the thumb to rub the horn comb surface quickly, then a smell of burned hair or feather will come out. This is because of the similar composition between the horn and hair/feather as above. Fake horn combs have no such smell.
3. Sinking Test: Genuine horn combs will sink in the water while the plastic ones float.
4. Static Test: Genuine horn combs are conductive, they don't produce static, while the plastic combs do.
