Certain hair brushes incorporate a yielding or flexible component, often located in the base of the bristles or within the brush head itself. This compliant element provides give and reduces rigidity during use. An example includes brushes designed with a cushioned pad supporting the bristles.
The presence of this pliable feature can offer several advantages. It may minimize scalp irritation by conforming to the head’s contours and reducing pressure concentration. Furthermore, the inclusion of this adaptable element can potentially decrease the risk of hair breakage and damage, particularly for individuals with delicate or easily tangled hair. Historically, brush designs have evolved to incorporate ergonomic considerations and materials intended to improve user comfort and minimize potential harm to the hair and scalp.
