THE FLEX BRUSH: The Ultimate Detangling Brush
Looking to stimulate your scalp, detangle your hair, and blow dry? Then The Flex Brush is your perfect brush! The Flex Brush bends to perfectly meet the contours of your head, massaging your scalp and stimulating the production of natural oils; hence promoting hair growth, reducing static and preventing breakage.
With vents allowing heat to pass through, blow drying won’t damage your brush. Whether you have curly hair, thin hair, thick hair, extensions, or a sensitive scalp, The Flex Brush is your go-to hair tool.
The Flex Brush is especially great for detangling children’s hair — no more struggles after the bath! The Flex Brush is made from natural rubber; the coating is a soft touch finish, very comfortable and easy to grip.
The Flex Brush Detangling System is the brainchild of two of the most innovative minds in beauty- Angelo David, owner of an elite salon in New York City, and Jacob Guttman, founder and CEO of Creative Pro Hair Tools.
While on the beach in Aruba, Angelo was pained by watching people destroy their hair as they yanked rigid brushes through knots, tearing ends and destroying roots. He contacted Jacob and together they designed The Flex Brush – an all-purpose tool that detangles safely, massages the scalp and promotes hair health and growth.

About Jacob Guttman
Flex Brush Co-Founder Jacob Guttman has been an innovator in hair styling tools for over 25 years. His company, Creative Pro Hair Tools, is an insider favorite known for its quality, function and durability.
Unlike traditional brushes, the Flex Brush flexes to avoid snags on tough knots.
This results in pain and damage-free detangling on all hair types, wet or dry.
Parents call the Flex Brush a game-changer: Your kids will never complain about hair brushing again. Its flexibility allows the Flex Brush to perfectly meet the contours of your scalp – resulting in a soothing massage, which increases the supply of blood to your hair follicles.
The circulation provides oxygen and nutrients that are essential to growing strong, shiny hair.
The stimulation can also help prevent psoriasis, dandruff, hair loss, and other scalp issues.
The Flex Brush is vented and super light-weight, so it can be used while blow drying.
Air can pass freely through the integrated vents, resulting in much faster drying time. Curly or straight – dry or wet: The Flex Brush molds to the curvature of your head, detangling knotted hair and cleaning the scalp. The Flex Brush provides the perfect amount of pressure and stimulation, not hurting your scalp and tearing at your hair like ridged brushes.You May Also Like

MarieBelle Chocolates choose only the finest selection of Criollo cacao beans from all over the world. What the fine Arabica bean is to coffee, the even finer and rarer Criollo bean is to chocolate. Criollo cacao makes up less than 10% of worldwide chocolate production, and as such, is highly sought after by connoisseurs. Chocolate made from Criollo beans has a distinct reddish color, and an equally distinctive complex taste, which can include flavors of caramel, nuts, vanilla and tobacco.
Only the finest, seasonal and natural ingredients are selected to make our chocolates. MarieBelle Chocolates source local ingredients such as fresh berries and fruits, and travel the world to find the best exotic ingredients each culture has to offer. This includes European butter, English lavender, Tahitian vanilla, Florida lemons, Japanese matcha tea and Puerto Rican rum. These ingredients are slowly infused into MarieBelle chocolates as their freshness is essential to the complexity of their flavor.
MarieBelle chocolates are all hand-made by passionate chocolate artisans. Their startling creativity and gift for harmonizing flavors have been the source of continuous innovation in MarieBelle chocolate-making process and techniques.
The chocolate and natural ingredients are combined into ganache and tempered to remove air and ensure maximum freshness. The ganache is then settled overnight before being cut into bite-sized pieces. Each ganache is then coated in pure dark chocolate before each piece receives its signature cocoa-based design. MarieBelle designs are all paintings created by artisanal, culinary artists. Each design tells its own story.
This Valentine’s season, choosing a sweet gift from MarieBelle chocolates, and sending the deepest love to the person in your heart!

These recipes are brought to you by the creators of teetherpop®, a patented, freezable teether designed for children six months and older.
A good time to start feeding your baby purees is when he or she is around 6-8 months old. (Consult baby’s pediatrician when in doubt.)

2. Transfer sweet potatoes to a food processor or immersion blender cup. Add 3/4 cup of cooking water and finely blend.
3. Allow purée to cool. Puree can be served in teetherpop, if desired. Jar and refrigerate remaining purée.
*Breastmilk or formula can be used in place of cooking water.
The second recipe, Homemade Peas & Carrot Purée, uses the protein power of peas, a great source of protein and rich in fiber and Omega 3, and carrots another great source of beta-carotene.

3. Pass the purée through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pieces of skin.

teetherpop can be filled with the above purées, as well as homemade smoothies, freshly-juiced fruits and veggies, Mother’s milk, water, or baby’s favorite drink. When frozen, teetherpop offers soothing relief for teething babies and is a less messy substitute to traditional popsicles for toddlers. It is also a creative option for storing breastmilk.
