QuoteReplyTopic: Importances of the Hard, Medium and Soft Brushes Posted: February 24 2008 at 4:11am
Been seeing threads about which brushes to use and hardly anyone recommends all three brushes besides me and a few others. So I figured why not give some basic points to why all three brushes should be in the majority of us wavers possession. The reason I say majority is because some textures may be too straight and curly for the hard brush while other textures may be too coarse for the soft brush
Hard Brush: Mainly for coarse hair and for achieving depth with waves, good to use when hair is long
Creates and deepens waves quicker than softer brushes During long wolfing sessions, is key to keeping your hair manageable When used for shower brushing, it softens and lays hair down more than softer brushes When hair curls, it trains to lay the hair down better Can act as a comb to untangle hair which is one of the causes of weak areas
Medium Brush: For all textured hair, straight, medium and coarse. Does the work of both soft and hard brush
When hair is at a shorter length, it replaces the hard brush by helping with dept more When hair is at a longer length, it replaces the soft brush by helping with connection more Can adjust on what you want worked on just by applying more or less pressure (more pressure, deeper waves; less pressure, better connection) Replaces the hard brush when shower brushing when hair is too long for the soft brush but not long enough for the hard
Soft Brush: Mainly for straight, curly hair and for when hair is short. Vital for connection
Helps train hair to stay laid down Helps with connection more than harder brushes Can be used to the end of wolfing sessions to keep hair laid down during the day Lasts a little longer than harder brushes from the bristles being more flexible

yeah, i thought i was too tender headed for a hard brush, too. but once the brush softens up a bit and your hair gets long enough, the hard brush doesn't bother your scalp as much as you would think it would
