The Innovation Behind the Pins
At the heart of the KOBAKO Hair Smooth Brush is the proprietary Protection Pin® technology. These spherical-tipped pins are meticulously planted at approximately 0.8mm intervals, a design choice that significantly reduces friction and prevents hair from tangling. This careful spacing and gentle tip ensure that the scalp is stimulated without being scratched, providing a comfortable and effective double care for both hair and scalp.
Beyond its functional prowess, the brush is designed for user convenience. A subtle flower-shaped indentation on the handle provides a stable grip, even with wet hands. Furthermore, the entire brush is washable, ensuring it remains hygienic and pristine for every use. The wider pin spacing also aids in applying treatments smoothly and evenly, a significant improvement over conventional brushes where product can often be scraped away.
Recommended Usage Steps
For optimal results, KOBAKO suggests a two-step hair care ritual:
-
Before showering: Use one of KOBAKO’s existing Hair Smooth Brushes (Super Soft, Soft, or Hard) to thoroughly brush your hair. This pre-wash step helps to dislodge dirt and prepare the hair, leading to better lathering during shampooing.
-
During showering: Utilize the new Hair Smooth Brush (In-bath) for a special care routine. This includes self-massaging your scalp while shampooing and ensuring your hair treatment is fully absorbed.
