Metal hairbrushes can severely electrify, break hair and damage the scalp.
Which comb is better?
There are the following types of hairbrushes for hair: wood, metal, plastic, ceramic, bone. Not so long ago there was a new class of comb - silicone (an alloy of plastic and silicone). These hairbrushes do not electrify hair, they are easy to wash. Silicone combs are usually cream colored and have an antistatic engraving.

Brushes with natural bristles

Classic bristle brushes
They are produced with natural, artificial and combined bristles. To create combs applied bristles (vegans, turn away!) Wild boar, horsehair and whalebone. This tool prevents hair damage during combing. By the way, it is the safest hairbrush. But it is believed that natural bristles contribute to the emergence of static electricity.

Comb care
The most important thing in the care of combs - their regular cleansing. It's simple! To do this, dissolve 1 tablespoon of shampoo in a basin with warm water (for more intensive cleansing and disinfection, you can purchase special tools for disinfecting instruments in large professional stores). Dip the combs in the water with shampoo, pre-clearing them from the hair, of course, and leave them for 30-40 minutes. Wooden tools do not tolerate long water procedures, so for them the maximum soaking time is 5 minutes. After that, arm yourself with an old toothbrush and carefully clean the surface of the comb, where fats and styling residues can accumulate. Rinse thoroughly with water, blot with a towel and lay on it to dry. By the way, massage brushes need to be dried bristles down. This procedure is recommended to repeat once a week.

Morality: each comb is designed for its purpose. And if you are used to periodically changing your image, then the tool must be appropriate. The comb should be in the arsenal of every curly girl for even distribution of conditioners, masks, oils and just for combing wet hair. Carefully unravel thin and damaged hair will be brush No Tangle. The maximum basal volume will best create a “skeletal” comb. A different diameter of the round brushes will easily give the desired rounded shape to the hair of the appropriate length. Angoy!
Appearance:
The hairbrush is packed in a dense plastic box with a logo and the necessary information on the back.
Outwardly, this is the most common massage brush, very similar to the one that many of us had in childhood - with metal bristles, which over time were buried in a rubber backing. Thus, everything new is well forgotten old.
But the presentation is, indeed, interesting and brought to mind.
The comb has several models, colors and shapes. On any, the most demanding taste. You can choose a concise and not screaming brush in black, brown, light color, or, on the contrary, brighten up everyday life with a bright spot: neon blue, purple, pink, green, leopard, flowers, hearts or inscriptions. There is no limit to diversity. There are differences in the material from which the brush is made: plain and matte, rubberized plastic.
Length 22.5 cm, width 7.5 cm. The area of the working surface 12x6 cm.
Some general information:
Wet Brush Intelliflex bristles are super thin, strong and flexible. These bristles slide through any type of hair, combing out tangles effortlessly. The flexibility of the bristles makes it possible, without scratching, to massage the scalp to stimulate blood circulation in the follicles. They are strong enough to comb through the nodules, flexible enough to be gentle to the scalp. IntelliFlex bristles will revert to their original shape after combing, eliminating brittle hair and the pain that was previously associated with combing. Wet Brush can be used on wet, dry or extensions, as well as on wigs.
My impressions:
Ahead of detailed descriptions, I note that I was very pleased with the comb. I liked everything, starting with the appearance and completing the functionality. Although there were doubts and I, until the very moment of touch, thought that, quite possibly, I hurried and wasted my money (a cheap plastic something will come to me, which is embarrassing to put in my bag))
Fortunately, doubts were not confirmed. Using a brush for a whole year, I gladly bought the exact same model, but in a different color scheme. 
Advantages:
① Workmanship, good quality appearance. In the photo on the network, this hairbrush looks cheap. I thought that her back was made of ordinary colored plastic, light and reminiscent of a Soviet soap dish. However, in the case of the model I ordered, doubts were in vain. Comb heavy, even heavy. Plastic rubberized, matte and very pleasant to the touch. If any of you have dewal combi shovels, then such a velvety surface awaits the case with the use of The Wet Brush.
② Availability of a convenient, large handle on the size of the palm. For me, this is a huge plus! All the same, I am much more accustomed to combing my long hair with directional movements of my hand with a comb, rather than smoothing it with my palm, from which roundness tends to slip out and shy away from the floor.
③ Rigid, non-sagging rubber backing. Thanks to this design, the comb is easy to clean and wash. The bristles do not penetrate into it even after a while and the scalp massage becomes palpable and effective.
④ Neat, long, flexible bristles made of elastic plastic. Along with a rigidly holding the substrate, the comb is equipped with compliant brushes having caps at the ends. The bristles gently massage the scalp, do not scratch, comb through the entire mass of hair due to their length, but at the same time they do not tear the hair, but slightly squash, recovering later in its original form. Irreversibly do not bend. They are very similar to the plastic from which the dewal combi-brush pin is made (perhaps because I liked it so much in my work, it is incredibly gentle).
⑤ Perfectly combs both wet hair and dry.Of course, we should not forget about the condition of our own hair and care. It seems to me that the hair is porous and damaged in any case require more gentle and gradual combing and styling than natural or vitreous in the structure. The same applies to cosmetics: devoid of a significant amount of conditioning additives, it does not moisturize to a sufficient degree the cloth and dehydrated, dry hair "like clockwork" You will not comb any popular brush.
⑥ Does not electrify hair.
⑦ Has a large surface area, effectively combing the entire mass of long or thick hair.
Disadvantages:
➊ Compared with all-plastic brushes TT, Macadamia, Dessata Hair Brush, Sibel, HairWay, which are very easy and quick to clean from hair and wash under running water, The Wet Brush consists of several parts and requires a more careful approach. Although you can still wash it. This is not a wooden brush.
❷ Convenience of carrying in a handbag depends on the selected model. The original version is not for nothing called "at home". It is quite large, with a long bristle, which in the bag can easily be damaged.
Nevertheless, in her work, she completely arranged for me: a terrific massage, easy combing of wet hair, lack of confusion and slippage, a strong, pleasant body with a hand and uplifting colors. Concerning the price, my opinion is ambiguous. It seems to be all on the case, functional, quality made. Yes, and similar combs now cost about the same (800-1300 rubles). But the feeling of overpayment for the idea is still present. Here the question already arises: “Do I personally need this comb or can I do enough?” Having used it for more than a year and comparing it with my numerous colleagues in the hair styling workshop, for myself I will answer in the affirmative:“Need! I have never had such a caring and gentle combing! Immediately accustomed to her. Now she is a daily helper, especially for wet hair after washing! There was only styling brushing and a frequent comb, which is indispensable for dyeing. ”
But objectively: "You can still do it, after all." Only you can decide!
Comb in action:
Thank you for your visit and attention. I hope that the necessary information was able to provide. If you have missed something, ask questions. I am pleased to answer!)
Criterias of choice
Selecting suitable products for the care of curls should be tailored to the individual characteristics: the type of scalp and hair. Another important indicator is the material from which the ridges are made, the design of the teeth and other characteristics.
Girls who are trying to provide their own hair with maximum care should choose the right set of several products.
For example, for curly hair comb hairs with infrequent teeth will be an ideal option. In the presence of split ends, preference should be given to models made from natural materials. Metallic variants cause strong electrification, injure the scalp, damage the strands.
Varieties of products
Today, there are 4 types of comb on sale, which differ in shape, function and constructional features.

Produced "massage" from a variety of materials. The best model will be equipped with teeth with tips, rounded or protected with special caps.

Soft teeth gently smooth the scales of each hair. The most gentle procedure for the separation of strands takes place with a brush, equipped with bristles made from natural materials. What comb is better to comb long hair? For thick strands is to choose a model with teeth of different lengths.
- Round hairbrush or brushing. The product has a cylindrical shape and a hole in the center. Used to create curly curls. Strands are wound on a similar product, and then fixed with a hairdryer. In addition, it can be used to straighten hair without the use of irons.
