What are ball-tipped bristles?

You’ve no doubt noticed the tiny balls on the ends of certain styles of brushes. The infamous ball tip has permeated its way into nearly every home across the country since its conception. From dollar stores to high-end salons, many people think brushes have always been made that way. 

Most early brushes were made of natural fibers. However, it wasn’t until the 1890’s that an African American female inventor named Lyda Newman developed what we would consider the “modern-day” brush. 

Made of synthetic bristles, the brush Lyda invented eventually developed into the various vented, paddle, and cushion styles. 

The evolution of the ball-tip itself has unknown origins. It was most likely developed to cushion the scalp from the sometimes blunt ends of the nylon spokes. 

Even though nylon was easier to produce via the mass market, natural fibers had still been preferred for shine and comfort. However, when the ball tip became more mainstream, it quickly became the leader of the pack.  

People quickly found out the ball tips were just as good, if not better than natural fibers. Nylon fibers made getting through thick, tough hair tolerable to brush; something natural fibers could never do. 

Those with straight or mildly wavy hair also noticed the difference. The nylon fibers, combined with the ball-tip, allowed the brush to glide effortlessly through nearly straight tresses. 

Due to nylon’s superior detangling benefits, prolonged use ensured less breakage overtime for all hair types. Less breakage equals healthier, more beautiful hair.

All these benefits quickly made nylon ball-tips stand out above the crowd. 

How Can a Ball-Tipped Bristles Benefit Me? 

The round toppers were added to nylon fibers to protect and cushion the scalp from the blunt nylon fibers’ sometimes sharp ends. Those with sensitive scalps could rest assured that they were protecting their scalps. 

Like microbeads in soaps and cleansers, the ball-tipped bristles can help exfoliate dead skin cells. Exfoliating the scalp provides more oxygen to the shaft, in turn stimulating more blood flow. When done consistently, this stimulation can promote healthier hair growth. 

Who doesn’t want a more luscious mane? From fine to coarse, straight to curly, all hair types can benefit from a ball-tipped brush.
