Kent Brushes, model PF03

Perfect for curling, shaping and straightening, this brush makes blow drying so easy!

It’s a kit bag essential for me as it gives a smooth, shiny finish on texturised and relaxed hair. This brush has just the right amount of grip and slide and the bristle grips the hair so it’s pulled taught and straight.

This is a lovely comb to use on short Afro hair. I use it to pick out Afros and also to loosen natural hair completely before trimming.
