At 25 mm it is a detailing tool rather than a blow-dry brush: it works where the sections are too small, too short or too close to the head for anything larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2

volume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefined movement on short layers, where a larger barrel would smooth the shape out instead of building it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2

On long hair it would leave a curl where most blow-dries want movement, so keep it for short sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.12em;font-weight:700;margin:1.15em 0 .4em\"\u003eCan it be used on wet hair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not the right tool for it. Rough-dry first and start brushing when the hair is damp: wrapping soaking hair under tension stresses it and the shape will not hold anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.35em;font-weight:700;line-height:1.3;margin:1.6em 0 .45em;padding-bottom:.25em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3e3e3\"\u003eMaterial and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear the hair out of the bristles after every client, working from the base of the barrel outwards: on the smallest barrel the vents block fastest, and a blocked brush stops drying properly. Wash occasionally in lukewarm water with a little shampoo, rinse, and leave it to dry bristles down so water does not sit inside the barrel. Do not soak the handle, and do not leave the brush on a hot surface or clamped inside a styling iron. Replace it when bristles start to bend or break: a deformed bristle drags the section instead of guiding it.
