You'll find the entirety of this paddle brush to be rubberized. This will help you keep a good grip on it even when hair is wet or products on your hands are slippery. The cushion on the brush provides just the right softness, and the massaging end points on the bristles give an excellent client experience. You'll love this brush for styling and may even use it for detangling if you want to minimize the number of tools you have on your station.
