Handbag-sized version of the original TEK wooden pin brush / 6.89" long, 1.85" wide, with 0.71" wooden pins

Isn’t TEK’s Small Oval Brush cute? It’s like the baby sibling of the Paddle Brush. (We’re advocates of both sizes, because if you have a Paddle Brush, you’ll become addicted to it but will lament its size while packing for weekend trips. You need both. Really, you do.)

Like the full size version, the Small Oval provides your scalp with a gentle massage  — perhaps a touch stronger than the one provided by the Paddle Brush, but it’s still gentle on the scalp and hair. The pins, made of 100% FSC-certified hornbeam wood, are set in the same cushy, pure black rubber base, and the handle is made of the same 100% FSC-certified ash wood.

Over time, since regular brushing distributes sebum along the hair shaft, your hair will look shinier and healthier. Since it stimulates circulation in the scalp, too, you’ll ensure that the nutrients and oxygen necessary for healthy hair growth are delivered to the hair follicle. We’re not saying miracles will occur and hair will start sprouting willy-nilly from your scalp within 24 hours, but you’ll be doing something that’s good for your hair and scalp health, and that’s always a plus.

To add to all of that, this paddle brush has been handmade in Italy with sustainable materials. Tuck it into your travel bag or handbag and give yourself a rejuvenating scalp massage anytime. We also love this brush for kids.
