Why it suits thicker hair
Made for normal to coarse hair
SHASH says: "Designed for normal to coarse hair, our natural bristle brush is great for detangling, conditioning, smoothing, and strengthening hair."
Two bristles doing two jobs
SHASH says that thanks to a special bristle combination, its boar-nylon brush "effortlessly detangles with zero pulling or split ends!" The boar bristles carry sebum from root to tip, which SHASH says smooths and hydrates hair and adds a subtle shine.
A cushion that gives
The bristles sit in a rubber cushion. SHASH says it is "incredibly gentle, ensuring a pain-free experience" for kids and adults alike.
Pick the size for your hair
SHASH makes the brush in three sizes: "small for kids and travel, medium for everyday use, and large for long, thick hair." This page is the Medium.
