Q: What is a mixed bristle brush for?
A: Doing two jobs in one pass. The longer flexible pins work through knots and reach the scalp, while the densely packed bristles between them smooth the surface as you brush.
Q: How do you get sleek, smooth hair?
A: Detangle fully first, then brush in long strokes following the direction the hair falls. Densely packed bristles are what press the surface flat once the knots are gone.
Q: How do you clean a hair brush?
A: Lift the shed hair out with the end of a comb, working between the pins, then wash the head in warm soapy water and dry it face-down.
