Hair brush
A brush makes your hair nice and smooth, massages your scalp and removes dirt from your hair. They come in many different types, depending on what you are looking for and what type of hair you have. For example, do you often have knots in your hair? Then opt for a flat version, such as a paddle brush. Looking for a head of hair full of volume? Then a round brush is ideal. A few different hairbrushes:
Paddle brush: a paddle brush is large and rectangular. It moves flexibly while brushing and glides carefully through the hair. The pins are often made of nylon with a ball on top or are made of natural hair. Thanks to the beads, natural oils spread faster and your hair becomes beautifully smooth & shiny. Mainly suitable for long hair.
Pneumatic Brush: often has a round shape and has a smaller surface area than the paddle brush. The bristles are attached to a cushion of air and because there is air under the cushion, the scalp is hardly stressed during combing. This brush stimulates blood flow to the scalp and diffuses the hair's natural oils. Suitable for any hair length.
Popular pneumatic brushes are those from Mason Pearson. These stimulate circulation and give your hair a great shine.
Detangler: a detangler is specially designed for painless hair detangling. You detangle the hair without damaging or breaking it. The brush and pins are almost always made of plastic, making it easy to get through even thick and unruly hair. Suitable for any hair length.
Popular detanglers are those from Tangle Teezer. Tangle Teezers are known for protecting the hair. You will pull your hair less and comb out tangles and knots painlessly!
Round brush: is often used to style hair. You can recognise it by its cylinder shape and it is mainly used to create waves, curls or volume in the hair. Special blow-dryer brushes often contain holes, which allow the heat to pass through the brush and dry your hair faster. The bigger the brush, the more volume! Suitable for any hair length.
Teasing brush: this one is narrow, long and flat. You use it for styling your hair. With this brush, you comb against the hair, creating lots of volume in no time.
There is also a difference in the material and type of hair in a brush. For instance, natural hair (from horses or wild boar) has an anti-static effect and is gentle on your hair. A synthetic version is more hygienic again, as bacteria find it difficult to settle in it. So, when choosing one, look carefully at the shape, type of hair and material.
Combs
A comb consists of many teeth arranged in a single row. You have them in many different designs, for different results. The teeth of a comb are often made of plastic or metal. Some different combs:
Point comb: a point comb is almost indispensable when styling your hair. It is mainly used for combing, dividing and styling hair. Thanks to the handle of this comb, you can divide your hair very precisely and easily.
Cutting comb: this is very popular and used by many consumers and hairdressers. The comb has wide and fine teeth and is versatile in use. Among other things, you can use it well for combing, detangling and cutting hair.
Detangler comb: a detangler comb has coarse teeth that allow you to glide through hair easily. Combing and detangling your hair is easy with a detangler comb, plus it's great to use on damaged hair.
