The hard, medium, or soft brush debate.

 

I think alot of wavers overstate the usefulness of a soft brush.  It's kind of like an over-used cliche that everyone says, but it isn't necessarily true.  Although you hear may wavers say use a softy for connection, they rarely, if ever tell you why this is true. 

 

The facts are that after your hair reaches a certain length, you need a medium or hard brush to maintain effective hair/wave training.  The brush bristles, during the brushing motion, must make contact with the hair strand near the follicle in order to adequately train new hair growth.  If your new growth is not being trained correctly, it is going to change the pattern of the rest of the hair strands/waves.  And it is the uniformity of the curved or "S" portion of the hair strand that determines the preciseness of your connections.

 

Depending on your hair texture, a soft brush is, for the most part, most effective when your hair is below a 1 and a half guard.  After that you need to switch to a medium or hard brush.  The exceptions would be for touch ups and/or product application(s), when a soft brush is most advantageous.  In these instances a soft brush would prevent "raking," which is not good for allowing your hair to lay down or for spreading product(s) evenly.
