{"product_id":"bombshell-birch-wood-round-brush-2-25-inch","title":"Bombshell Birch Wood Round Brush — 2.25″","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe in-between size, and the one that suits hair sitting around the collarbone. Two and a quarter inches is small enough to get properly round a section and set a real bend, and large enough that you are not spending an hour working through a whole head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also the size to reach for on a fringe, on the sides, or anywhere the larger brushes are too big to sit against the head cleanly — even if your length is longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is measured\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two and a quarter inches is the full diameter, bristle tip to bristle tip — the working size of the brush in your hand. Some brands quote the barrel alone and leave the bristles out, so a brush listed at the same size elsewhere may be considerably larger overall. Compare like with like before you decide a size is wrong for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is made of\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBirch wood through the handle and barrel. Wood holds heat more gently than metal, so the section warms as you pass over it instead of taking the heat all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoar and nylon together, because one bristle cannot do both jobs. Boar sits close in structure to human hair and carries the scalp's own oil down the strand, which is why hair brushed with it looks conditioned without anything applied. Nylon is stiffer and does the gripping — it is what holds a section against the barrel while you pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDry to about eighty per cent before the brush goes near the hair. A brush in soaking hair does nothing but stretch it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection properly. Nape first, working up, and keep the dryer pointing the same way the brush is travelling — down the hair shaft, never against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this size you can wind the section around the barrel, and that is the point of it. Winding is what sets a curl or a bend rather than leaving the ends straight. On longer hair, lay the section across the bristles instead and let the tension come from how you pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClear the shed hair out after every few uses. Hair wraps around the base of the bristles, and once it packs in there the bristles cannot flex. Most brushes are destroyed by neglect long before they wear out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not soak it. Wood and water are a bad combination over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it came from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Louis spent twenty-three years behind a chair in Manhattan — a salon on 57th Street, and years of blowouts before that, nine in the morning until ten at night. A supplier would bring a sample, it got used on clients, and it went back with a list of what was still wrong. That went on for years until one came back right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Peter Louis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41477974098093,"sku":"Asin B07GDVS96J","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0097\/3068\/7034\/products\/Bombshell_Birch_Wood_Round_Brush_2-25_inch.jpg?v=1787377157","url":"https:\/\/peterlouis.com\/es\/products\/bombshell-birch-wood-round-brush-2-25-inch","provider":"Peter Louis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
