KITSCH Dual Edge Brush and Comb

Tame even the most unruly baby hairs with this double-ended brush. Although boar-bristle brushes are the gold standard in laying baby hairs of all kinds, they can be a little rough on the delicate hairs at the front of your crown. The soft nylon bristles on the brush side help to gently lay the dainty hairs without breakage, while the comb allows you to seamlessly define and separate hairs.
