I was reading an article the other day, recommending we change our hairbrushes every SIX MONTHS. This seemed a bit extreme to me, but I do agree its important to keep our brushes in tip-top condition lest we risk them damaging our hair.
You see, built up debris of styling products and damp hair can lead to bacteria growth, and melted bristles from heat styling can actually snag the hair as we brush. At the bare minimum we should be removing excess hair from our brushes after every use. For the Gold Star of Care, we should be washing our brushes weekly. Using baking soda and vinegar is an easy way to remove product build up and scalp flakes, helping to keep our brushes in better condition for longer.
We're putting the latest hair brush release from Mita to the test. The last three Mita detangling brushes are all Top Rated by you, the people of New Zealand, so we're super excited to get our hands on this colourful beauty!
The Mita™ GEMTIP Detangling Brush is a unique 3D Flexi-Control Brush with multi-nylon bristles & gem tips.
Each bristle is physically formed into a smooth round sphere, like a delicate gem, free of sharp edges. The Mita GEMTIP detangling brush is super flexible with long & short thin bristles to remove tangles effortlessly and painlessly, reducing hair breakage.
The two-length bristles work perfectly to detangle and massage the hair whilst massaging the scalp and gently cleaning away dandruff and dirt from the scalp.
As well as for use on dry hair, the GEMPTIP shines when used in the shower. It helps to spread shampoo and conditioner evenly along the hair and helps rinse them away more quickly without snagging or pulling on wet hair.
This brush looks great! I have been using a tangle teezer brush for the past few years and it has been working well, but I do think it is time for a replacement. The bristles of this brush look interesting and I would be keen to try it out. I really like that it can be used on wet and dry hair. Thank you for the tips about brush care, I did not know brushes need to be replaced every 6 months. :)
