At 32 mm it is the size that gets close to the scalp, which makes it the brush for short hair, fringes and every section where the shape has to start at the root.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2

Use it on long hair only for the fringe and the front sections, and switch to a larger size for the lengths.\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.

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.
