How do you recognize a good brush?
The question of whether a brush is “good” first arises in terms of how it is processed. Of course, the crucial factor is to choose the right shape for the appropriate purpose (styling, care, detangling, straightening).
In general, the brush should fit comfortably in the hand. Particularly with round brushes, it is important to ensure that they are easy to rotate between your fingers. The bristles must be rounded, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the scalp or hair. This problem often occurs with brushes of poor quality. The connection between the brush and the handle should be well made so that no hair gets caught in it during use.

This stimulates blood circulation and promotes the supply of the hair roots.
All-purpose brushesare, as the name suggests, versatile. They usually have bristles of different lengths. The long bristles gently massage the scalp, while the short bristles optimally distribute the natural skin oil and thus smooth the hair surface.
In addition, brushes are available in which additional active ingredients have already been incorporated during production, so-calledActive ingredient hair brushes.
