Kudos to Brent Hardgrave for creating such an incredible brush. I love my Brent Brush, and I recommend it highly to anyone who is struggling with hormonal hair problems. It’s gentle on the scalp and hair, and reduces the chance of breakage.

I've had my Brent Brush for about a month now. I must admit that I was very hesitant about purchasing one because I didn't know much about it. I was extremely excited when it arrived. I opened it up and stared at it for what seemed like hours. LOL It is unlike any brush I've ever seen. I've used it every day since the day I got it. On days when I wake up and my hair is tangled, the brush glides right through my hair. I absolutely LOVE my Brent Brush. I take it everywhere I go. It is worth every dollar spent. I'm not a paid spokesperson for the brush and I don't know Brent, personally. With that said, if you are on the fence about getting one - I say dive right in and make the purchase. You won't regret it!!

I teach elementary aged children on the autism spectrum in Atlanta, GA and if you know anything about autism you probably know how sensitive some children can be to sensory input. In January, while searching for ways to help improve my student’s self-care techniques I met a hair stylist that directed me towards Brent Hardgrave telling me how he had created a brush that minimized the sensory input experienced when brushing hair and it has been a game changer in our classroom ever since.
I have two stories, one completely changed a student’s willingness to care for their hair, and the other is about how Brent Brush managed to help our students who were already tolerant of hair care practices such as brushing to become independent. I want to start with our general classroom story.
Not every child is against practices such as brushing hair, but for many children with autism, it can be harder to develop independence in these skills. Many of my students are still fine-tuning their motor skills (or have a tendency to get over-enthusiastic), which had led to some pretty heavy hands, resulting in heads that were tired of getting smacked with plastic bristles, which became a big deterrent to practicing independently. Brent Brush has two different types of bristles on each brush: a softer boar bristle and a plastic loop bristle, which make it easy to not only thoroughly brush hair, but the plastic loops also give my students room for error when it comes to the amount of strength they use, as the loops will bow out slightly and absorb force if an impact was too heavy (which led to a lot of happy campers and young men admiring their brushed hair in the mirror).
The second story is about a student of mine who would not allow anyone or anything to touch their hair. It had gotten to the point where parts were matted so badly they had to be cut out. By using Brent Brush, we were able to slowly desensitize the student to a point where they will allow adults to care for their hair in short intervals, which has allowed their hair to grow happy and healthy back to the length it once was. This student even began brushing their own hair (although it still involves a lot of skittles) after about 4 months! This will definitely be a tool I keep in my box for parents, other teachers, and myself for as long as I’m in the field.
ALSO for anyone who may have a child that really hates brushing hair, if you’re wondering about durability, this brush will hold up. Overall, Brent Brush has improved student morale, and I won’t lie, a few have taken some high-speed trips into concrete walls on a bad day, but they’ve never so much as chipped!
