Brush with Boar-bristle

Best for scalp stimulation and removal of dirt and lint from locks

Paddle Brush Square

This brush is fantastic for releasing short, textured hair and long, straight hair with tangles, knots, and snarls.

Brush vent

The widely spaced single or double row of pins with protective tips to avoid tearing and breaking the hair.

The broad-tooth comb

Accessible in several forms and designs, with little snarling, these combs ply through hair. The comb teeth vary in width from medium to comprehensive and have long, rounded tips to prevent scraping the scalp. The most important aspect of this comb is the space between the teeth; more generous spacing enables textured hair to pass easily between the teeth rows.

Twist/locking comb

This tool is a #55 barber comb with one side with a smaller pointed tooth and the other end with a large diameter.
