The shift in weather is transformational! It’s time to dedicate some time to ourselves, to reawaken and rejuvenate our hair, body, and wardrobe to prepare them for the warmer days ahead, and Kent Brushes has got you covered.
A CLEVER CLOTHES BRUSH
Wear, care and repair is our motto for creating a sartorially sustainable attitude to fashion, and there is no better way to refresh your clothes than with the help of a Clothes Brush. One of the most valuable tools to have at your disposal is a clothes brush, which is your secret weapon for dust, hair and dirt-free clothes.
WANT A TRICK OF THE TRADE TO REMOVE TOUGHER MARKS?
- Start by lightly brushing away dust and debris from your garment.
- Gently dip the end of the bristles in some water (never submerging the wood).
- Flick off the excess water and then brush away any stubborn marks or mud - the damp bristles are exceptionally good at tackling dried-on dirt.
This is the perfect way to refresh your spring jackets and blazers that have been patiently lurking in the back of your wardrobe (and far more affordable than sending them to the dry cleaners).
GLOW FOR IT
Bristle is your bestie. It works with your hair, gently smoothing the cuticle of the hair strand as well as transporting natural oils from your scalp down the length of your hair. In short, bristle is a shine generator.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT BRUSH
Kent is renowned for our collection of bristle hairbrushes, from traditional styles such as the CSGM to more contemporary versions such as the PF07. We’re also proud to introduce our Vegan Collection featuring BioniFil® - this filament is designed to mimic the structure, properties and functionality of natural boar bristle without the use of animal products.
FOLLOW OUR GUIDE ON HOW TO BRUSH YOUR HAIR:
-
Section - unless you have very short hair, sectioning is the most effective way to detangle the hair without damaging it. Depending on your hair length and type, start with a middle part, then divide the top and bottom sections. You can use an A8T tail comb to help you, then brush through the individual sections.
- Wet brushing - If your hair is wet, make sure you detangle with a paddle or nylon quilled brush such as the LPB1 or PF20 that will gently separate the knots before you blow-dry.
- Bristle is best - For smoothing and creating a glossy finish when blow-drying, a bristle brush such as the PF01 or PF03 works with your hair to add shine and smooth the cuticle of the hair.
Tip: Don’t forget to keep your brush free from old hair with the L PC3, our handy little brush cleaner. Gently lift the old hair out, then treat your brush to a wash now and again - trust us, your hair will thank you! You can find out how to clean your brushes properly here.
SEASONAL SCALP AND HAND CARE
For the green-fingered amongst us, many will have already been out preparing the garden for the warmer days ahead – but the toll on our hands and nails can be huge. Our Nail Brushes collection is going to be your key to clean, mud-free nails. Flexible enough to reach beneath the nail and strong enough to provide effective cleaning, the natural bristles easily remove dirt while also gently protecting your nails and cuticles.
HERE IS OUR SEASONAL HAND CARE GUIDE:
- Rinse and Soften - After a day in the garden, rinse your hands in warm water to soften the skin around the nails.
- Cleanse with care - Use a natural bristle nail brush in back-and-forth motions for clean, effective results. Our NB1 is great for lifting dirt, yet gentle enough to protect your nails and cuticles.
- Backs of the hands - The tops of your hands can become just as weathered as your palms. Use the nail brush in small circular motions to gently exfoliate the backs of your hands.
- Hydrate and restore - Apply a rich hand cream or oil for an extra treat, paying special attention to your cuticles. Continue to massage to lock in the moisture for smooth hands that stay hydrated.
Tip: Treat yourself to a weekly hand mask or overnight treatment with gloves for an extra boost of nourishment - your hands will thank you.
So, support your hair, hands and wardrobe with brushes from Kent – your secret to glowy, revitalised and glossy vibes this Spring. Read more of our wellness guides here.
