🔴 Tender scalps

🔴 New wavers

🔴 Daily polishing sessions

Why Soft Brushes Matter:

📌 Smoothes your pattern

📌 Doesn’t irritate your scalp

📌 Perfect for distributing moisturizers and oils

Soft brushes are essential for laying the final pattern after using a medium or hard brush.

Why Medium Brushes Matter:

📌 Perfect balance of firmness + comfort

3. Hard Brushes (For Coarse Hair & Wolfing Stage)

Hard brushes are not for beginners with fresh cuts — they’re designed for thick, coarse, or wolfing-stage hair.

Best For:

🔴 Type 4 coarse hair

🔴 Wolfing (3–6+ weeks of hair growth)

🔴 Deepening your connections

🔴 Lifting stubborn areas

Why Hard Brushes Matter:

📌 Pulls thick hair into place

📌 Breaks forks (wave imperfections)

📌 Helps form deeper ripples

📌 Allows the scalp’s natural oils to distribute

Warning:

Hard brushes can scratch the scalp if used too early — use only when your hair is thick enough.
