Medium Wave Brush Pros & Cons
As you probably know already, brushing is key to the wave process and must be done consistently in order to train the wave pattern in your hair. Brushing helps deepen and define your waves as well as lay down frizz and evenly distribute hair product on your head. Wave brushes are primarily offered in three different bristle types: hard, medium and soft. In our last blog post, Veeta compared a soft brush to a hard brush, detailing the benefits of each and what hair types work best for which brushes. In this blog post, we are going to talk about the middle-ground wave brush: the medium brush. Today you’ll learn what characteristics define a medium brush, the pros and cons of a medium brush, and where you can find the highest quality brush for your waves. Ready? Let’s dive in!
What is a medium wave brush?
A medium wave brush is a hairstyling tool for waves that is made with bristles that lie in the middle ground between a “hard” and “soft” composition. Most medium brushes are designed with 100% boar bristles or 100% synthetic flex bristles, and sometimes are a mixture of both. The end result is a wave brush that feels firm to touch, but not as firm as reinforced boar bristle brushes. Medium wave brushes come in different shapes and sizes, such as curved or linear.
What are the pros of a medium wave brush?
There are many benefits involved with using a medium bristle brush, one of the most popular reasons being its versatility. Medium wave brushes accommodate a wide variety of hair types, thicknesses and lengths. They can be used as shower brushes for wavers with low haircuts or those with a thinning hair problem. Another benefit of using a medium brush is that it puts less stress on the hair and scalp than hard brushes, which means that you can spend more time during brushing sessions without damaging your wave pattern. Unlike a hard brush, the medium brush is easier on the scalp and protects the follicle by not pulling on the hair. In sum, a medium brush is a great hairstyling tool to use because it is versatile and an excellent addition to your brush rotation.
What are the cons of a medium wave brush?
There are a few notable disadvantages to keep in mind when considering a medium wave brush for your hair. For those who are wolfing their hair, the medium brush tends to wear down to more of a soft brush texture and composition, which is not nearly as effective. Also, medium brushes do not work well as shower brushes for people who have long, thick hair. Finally, medium brushes are not as great for targeted brushing sessions because they accommodate so many different hair types.
