What to look for in a brush for curls?
- Detangle, do not power through. Start at the ends and work your way up. That way you loosen the knot instead of pulling it tighter.
- Wet rather than bone-dry. Many people with curls brush in the shower, with conditioner in. Brushing dry pulls the curl apart and gives frizz.
- A soft, flexible brush. A brush that bends follows the curl instead of flattening it.
- Take your time. A curl is in no hurry. One extra minute saves you half a day of frizz.
That is the practical part. It works with any good brush. Below is why ours is made differently.
Vegan, and why that matters for a brush
Many classic hairbrushes use boar bristle. A lovely material, but it comes from an animal. Our brush is vegan. No animal hair, full stop.
For you that mostly means one thing: you do not have to think about it. You buy a brush, not a dilemma.
Made from recycled plastic. The honest exception.
Let us be honest, because we always try to be: this brush is not bio-based.
Our razor blades are. Our brush heads are too. The same goes for our standard hairbrushes.
We discoverd that in our collection of hair care products, a high quality hairbrush for curly hair was missing. So we did some research and found that curly hair thrives well on soft and flexible bristles, almost like those of a toothbrush. Something that bendy turned out very complex to make from bio-based materials, so our current state-of-the-art solution is recycled plastic.
No new plastic. Just plastic that already existed, put to use again.
Frequently asked questions
Which brush is best for curly hair?
One that bends and lets you detangle from the ends up. How soft and flexible it is matters more than how expensive it is. For most curls, brushing wet with conditioner in works better than brushing dry.
Can you brush curly hair?
Yes, but timing matters. In or just after the shower, with conditioner in, you detangle without pulling the curl apart. Brushing bone-dry gives frizz and breakage.
What is a vegan hairbrush?
A brush without animal materials. No boar bristle, which is in many classic brushes. Ours is vegan.
Is a brush made from recycled plastic just as good?
For the brushing itself you will not notice a difference. The difference is that no new plastic was made for it.
How do you clean a hairbrush?
Pull out the loose hair, then give it an occasional soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap. Let it dry properly before you put it away.
How often should you replace a hairbrush?
Only when it truly stops doing its job. Broken or missing bristles tug at your hair. A good brush lasts for years. That is the idea too: less thrown away.
