Gildie Curly Girl Hair Brush

1. Use on wet or damp hair after applying your curl cream, gel or conditioner. Try the Davines Love Curl Conditioner (https://sable.co.nz/products/davines-love-curl-conditioner) or Olaplex No.10 Bond Shaper Curl Defining Gel (https://sable.co.nz/products/olaplex-no-10-curl-defining-gel) for best slip.
2. Section the hair and brush from underneath the curl to add volume, or from the top to tame the curl.
3. Twist or shake curls into shape as you brush to define your pattern.
4. For a softer, less uniform finish, flip your hair upside down and gently shake.

Pro tip: Apply your styling product to soaking-wet hair before brushing for maximum definition and minimum frizz.

Pro tip 2: After brushing, scrunch with the Louvelle Riva Hair Towel Wrap (https://sable.co.nz/products/louvelle-riva-hair-towel-wrap) to remove excess water without breaking the curl pattern.

Flexible memory bristles - Soft, flexible nylon bristles that gently glide through curls and coils without snagging, snapping or disrupting the curl pattern. The flex returns the bristles to shape after every use, so the brush keeps its glide for years.

NZ-designed paddle shape - The brush head shape is designed in New Zealand specifically for curly, wavy and coily textures, with a wider footprint to detangle larger sections in one pass.

Lightweight ergonomic handle - A balanced, lightweight handle that's easy to control through long detangling sessions or when working through deep conditioner in the shower.

Can I use this brush on dry hair?
Yes, but for best results use it on wet or damp hair to preserve curl definition. On dry hair, focus on the ends and avoid brushing through the full curl.

Will it work on thick or coily hair?
Yes. The flexible bristles glide through dense curls and coils, gently detangling without snagging or breaking the curl pattern. For type 4 coily hair, brush in small sections after applying a deep conditioner or leave-in for the best glide.

Can I use it with curl creams, gels and conditioners?
Absolutely. It's actually the best way to use it. The bristles distribute curl creams, gels and conditioners evenly through your strands for more uniform definition.

What's the difference between a curly girl hair brush and a detangling comb?
A wide-tooth comb separates strands but doesn't shape the curl. A curly girl brush like the Gildie distributes product evenly, smooths the cuticle, and gently shapes the curl pattern as you work through. Most curly hair routines benefit from both at different stages.

Is the brush safe for chemically treated or coloured curls?
Yes. The brush is gentle on fragile, treated or coloured hair, with flexible bristles that minimise breakage.

What detangling product should I pair with this brush?
We recommend the Davines Love Curl Conditioner (https://sable.co.nz/products/davines-love-curl-conditioner) or Ouidad Moisture Lock as a slip-rich detangler. Apply generously to wet hair, then use the brush to glide through tangles without breakage.

Can I use this brush on low porosity hair?
Yes. For low porosity hair, brush through your hair after applying a watery leave-in or detangling spray rather than a heavy cream, which lets product absorb evenly before sealing.

Does brushing curly hair disrupt the curl pattern?
Only if you brush dry, unproduct curls with a stiff brush. Brushing wet or damp hair while it's saturated with conditioner or curl cream actually enhances the curl pattern by helping the strands clump.

How do I clean my Curly Girl Hair Brush?
Remove any tangled hair after each use. Once a fortnight, wash with warm water and a small drop of shampoo, then air dry bristles-down.
