Can I use the brush under the shower and brush my hair when I have conditioner on, or will that damage the brush?

This answer is late, but I'm posting it anyway in reply to L.V. While it's true that straighter hair types shouldn't brush when wet, curly hair is more fragile when dry and it's almost always better to comb or brush it when wet and soaked with conditioner (plus brushing dry breaks up the curls and gives you a frizzball). It sounds like Tasneem may have curly hair, based on how she worded her question. I use a Denman brush in the shower, but I know others use a TangleTeezer with good results. In any case, absolutely don't use the MP brush wet. That much water will damage the bristles. A boar bristle brush is meant to style and/or polish the hair, not detangle it.

No, it does not work well with wet hair.I would not wet it, and it does not comb wet hair . It works very well in dry hair ( it really takes off the knots, but it frizzes them a little)

No, NEVER get the brush wet. Water could get into the hole and you'd lose the buoyancy of the rubber padding. Note that to clean the brush you only wet the small cleaning brush

the cleaning instruction indicates the brush should not be submerged in water or get too wet. So I'm inclined to infer that it should not be used while in the shower.

from what i understand that would ruin the brush. it can't be gotten wet except on occasion when you clean it. and even then it needs to be dried immediately. if it's properly cared for, the brush can last 20+ years.

As a stylist and colorist being taught by top industry professionals, we are constantly being told and reminded NOT to brush hair when wet. Lots of water emergence will over time lessen the life of the brush. Why not brush hair wet? It is the leading cause of breakage, use a wide tooth comb instead. There is a detangling brush, it looks different from traditional brushes. I hope this helps, it may not new the answer you want to hear, it's completely honest.

I don't see why not. Water should not damage the bristles or the back of the brush. The only thing I can think of is that water could seep into the brush by way of the area where the bristles come through.

This is the best brush you can buy but it is not design to be used on wet hair. If you want to use a brush in the shower use a paddle brush or a comb.

I use a wooden brush in the shower and when I am finished I stand it up in such a way that it can dry out. It is not the Mason Pearson but it is wooden. My hair conditioner is in my shampoo. I know I have not been of much help but that's all I have. I would suggest you contact the Mason Pearson customer service to get the straight scoop.

Not worth any extra wear and tear, using a cheap plastic comb (like the ones hair stylists have in those disinfectant containers) works fine enough for what you need.

Read the product info that came with the toothbrush. At the top of page 6 it says, "The brush head holder is dishwasher-safe. Never place the charger in dishwasher or water. It should be cleaned with a damp cloth only." One would glean from that that the brush head holder could be used in the shower.

I have only gotten it to work on damp/wet hair. If your hair is prone to being dried out, I suggest applying conditioner in the shower or at least leave-in conditioner beforehand.

Hey Lisa. When I use the BODY BRUSH I soap my body with water and dial body wash. Step away from shower, then use body brush then I step back into the shower to rinse. I would not mix brush under water....no.

I think it is marketed for wet hair - to detangle after shampooing, but it does not mean you cannot use on dry hair - I do sometimes, although I have another brush I prefer to use when my hair is dry. The beauty of the "Wet Brush" is its superior ability to detangle

Sure, you can safely use it in the shower. Used wet, it gives an even smoother shave than dry!

I use it as a conditioner. After washing, rub into the hair and let it sit for five or more minutes... I do it in the shower after every wash.

A stray hair here or there prob won't be a problem. However, I would strongly recommend a hair strainer for the shower. There are many options, cheap, and available right here on Amazon.

Sorry I don't use conditioner, so can't answer that. My shampoo is rather thick and it does fine. Don't know if it would be as thick as conditioner or not.

The bristles on the wet brush are very flexible where as most regular brushes have stiff bristles. Bc of the flexibility, the wet brush not only cuts down on hair breakage, but also makes brushing your hair tangleless and "ouchless" :)

No I use it all the time to come in conditioner in the shower. Being that is Wide toothed it doesn't rip your hair out either. I love it personally, I would highly recommend it. Hope this helps!

Yes, it is my favorite brush and I have curly hair and I use it with my flat iron. When you are in the shower, use conditioner/cream rinse and use a plastic vent brush under the shower to come through, it detangles easily then blot the hair dry don't scrub and tangle it again with a towel.

Yes this shaver can be used in the shower if you do not have the charger plugged into it. Even if you are using it at the sink you can rinse it under the faucet while it is on.

That's a great question! I've only cleaned excess hair from the brush using a comb, but have not tried soaking it in a solution. However, dipping it in hot, soapy water, a quick once-over with an old wash cloth and a rinse works great! The need for this is very rare though.

I would imagine as long as the shower or sink is turned off I suppose so. I personally wouldn't use anything electric around running water since that creates a grounding path, and could cause an electrocution. I used a cordless drill since that's what I had. It doesn't make a big wet mess behind the head but rotationally it can spray a lot.

I have used this brush to detangle my hair after I've placed conditioner in it.

It's a great brush. Dries hair very quickly; so being you have fine hair, you should not put your drier on the high setting.
