The benefits of the 'wet' hair brush

• Use the bristle brush on wet or dry hair
• The medium textured bristles give a delightful tingling feel on the scalp during use
• The bristles stimulate the scalp circulation to improve the growth of the hair
• The bristles help to distribute shampoo and conditioner down the hair, giving better results while using less product
• When used as a shampoo brush the bristles help to remove dry and flaky skin off the scalp
• The length and arrangement of the bristles makes the hair brush very easy to clean as hair does not get trapped in it
• Made from FSC certified wood and boar bristle in Germany with sustainable, ethical sourcing

The benefits of the horn comb

Use the horn comb on dry hair only

• For everyday combing of hair of any length, giving the hair a well cared for appearance
• Cleans the hair by removing lint, dust and broken hairs.
• Helps to transport protective oils from the scalp along the shaft of the hair, making the hair appear better conditioned with less grease near the roots.
• Helps to smooth the cuticles of the hair shaft down helping to protect the hair from tangling and desiccation and sun damage.
• Gentle to hair – horn is composed as the same substance as hair – keratin, and with the same hardness of material, horn will not damage the shaft of the hair.
• Horn combs pull out significantly fewer hairs while combing compared to a plastic comb or hairbrush. This is partly due to the construction. Plastic combs are moulded and the inside edges of the tines of plastic combs contain rough edges of plastic which is harder than hair. This rough edges of plastic snag hairs and damages the protective cuticle (scale-like) coating on each hair.
• With horn combs, the tines are cut by saw and smoothed, leaving nothing to snag the hair.
• By stroking the scalp with the tines during each grooming session, the stimulation improves scalp circulation and supports healthy hair growth.
• Cleans the hair follicles, maintaining follicle health and supporting the healthy grow of the hair, again when the tines are taken over the scalp.
• Perfect for detangling slightly damp hair after washing and for helping to reduce frizzy hair.
• Fantastic for relieving stress. Animals groom themselves to relieve psychological stress and after escaping from physical danger. Gently comb the entire scalp several times a day, or briefly throughout the day.
• Leaves a lovely tingly sensation on the scalp.
• Does not induce static build up (unlike plastic). This is because a horn comb has the same charge as the hair – two materials of the same type due not build up static charge when rubbed together and brought into contact. With reduced static, again less hairs are pulled out while combing.
