Hey this is such a random question but I’m going to ask anyway.

I figured instead of buying certain things online I could save and buy what I want locally. So far having success however bc I’m not able to drive I don’t want to travel too far since I can only rely on public transportation and Lyft.

I was wondering if there are any small businesses in Detroit that sell wooden detangling combs? I live on the west side of Detroit.

Try Walking Lightly in Ferndale. They are a zero waste store and have pretty good stuff. They have a small but decent selection of toiletries and Grooming supplies. If you have time get a cup of coffee at Desert Oasis too right up the street!

in fairness many businesses - depending what you're looking for - just buy from places like amazon anyway and sell it to you for an upcharge.
