Get a grip
Styling clips are indispensable for blow-drying hair and creating other styles, but often they are poorly designed. the weaklings tend to slip, while the stronger ones can leave marks on your freshly styled mane. these clips have a textured handle that is easy to grip. the curved opening and concave bill can gather large sections of hair, and the no-teeth surface provides a strong hold, yet will not crease the hair.

Sheveled and kempt
Have you ever wondered why mermaids are often depicted combing down their hair? they may know a thing or two about keeping their tresses beautiful. Brushing your hair helps distribute sebum to the tips for nourishment, it stimulates micro-circulation in the scalp, and clears impurities and dead skin cells. It also allows for hair to be washed less often. the wild boar bristles on this brush contain keratin and are similar to the composition of hair. they help to gently style the hair while distributing the sebum from roots to the ends for naturally shiny hair, while the blue ball tips help to stimulate the scalp. The schima wood handle is both sturdy and beautifully finished.
