A wet brush is a type of hairbrush specifically designed for use on wet hair. It is different from a regular brush in several ways:
-
Flexible bristles: Wet brushes are made with flexible, plastic bristles that move with the hair, reducing the risk of breakage and damage. The bristles are also close together, allowing the brush to remove hair knots and sort out hair strands without pulling or tearing the fragile hair, whether its wet or dry.
-
Wide spacing between bristles: Wet brushes have wide spacing between the bristles, allowing the hair to move more easily through them. This feature makes them particularly effective at detangling wet hair.
-
Dual-purpose: Wet brushes can be used on both wet and dry hair, making them versatile tools for hair care. While their primary purpose is detangling, they can also be used for stimulating blood flow at the scalp and distributing natural oils through the hair, although densely packed bristles are better for these tasks.
-
Variety of options: There are various types of wet brushes available, including the Wet Brush Flex, which is designed to expedite the time it takes to dry your hair. Choose the one that best suits your hair type and needs.
