Detangling hairbrushes from Wet Brush are stocked here, covering the Pro Flex Dry and the Flex Dry paddle brush in purple.
What separates these from an ordinary brush is the bristle. The flexible bristles give way rather than pulling when they meet a knot, which is the point of a brush designed for wet hair, since hair stretches and breaks most easily when it is wet. The Flex Dry versions also have a vented head that lets air through while blow drying, which shortens drying time and means the brush can be used through the whole routine rather than only before it. The paddle shape covers more surface per stroke and suits longer or thicker hair, while the standard Pro is easier to handle on shorter hair and for travel. Whichever you use, working from the ends upwards in sections does more for reducing breakage than any brush on its own. Rinsing the brush occasionally and letting it dry bristles-down keeps product build-up from collecting around the base, which is what makes an older brush feel scratchy and pull more than it should.
Wet Brush is stocked at Ronaghan's Pharmacy, a family-run Irish pharmacy, alongside combs, hair accessories and styling products. Browse the brushes below.
