My 2 cents on brushes

If you follow this blog consistently you will find that I post a lot about brushes. They are such an important part of our process. The age old feud between your beloved Annies and Dianes will always be around in our community. The reason why? Plain and simple. Quality!
In any industry, the saying goes "you get what you pay for". Nothing could be further from the truth in the field of hair care. Hair care, you ask? Yes. What do you think maintaining waves is? Waves is one of the hairstyles that requires the most care and maintenance of all. That's why properly kept waves look so nice.
If you see anyone with spinnin waves, I guarantee you they have a brush on them. There are several different types of brushes. This particular post won't touch too heavily on branding, just overall build quality and purpose. Brush knowledge is very important to any waver. We have soft, medium medium/soft, hard, military, wave brushes...etc the list goes on and on. One can easily get confused with that many choices. When searching for a brush there are a few key elements to look for. Bristle type for soft and medium brushes should be boar bristle brushes. A good soft but firm boar bristle brush is like a buffing pad to a coat of wax. It is absolutely necessary for healthy waves. Comfort is something else to look for. You will be spending a lot of time using it so make sure its comfortable to use. Some people prefer the military stlye brush, or palm brush because of the comfort the provide. Soft brushes are necessary to provide a healthy shine to the hair and also to help with connection. Medium brushes are good to brush products into the hair evenly and develop the wave pattern while wolfing. Hard brushes are needed to penetrate the heavy growth of long wolfing cycles. They help with overall depth of your waves and are very important right before cutting your waves down. That was just my 2 cents on a few things brush related...I got a few more brush blogs comin. Brushin is a hobby of mine...I'm a bit more into it than you may think. My brush knowledge is defiinitely up to par. Follow @drmanhattan718 on twitter for daily tips and info on waves.
