Edge Ahead by Fromm debuts new Square Thermal Brushes, each with an angular design that can perform different blowdry techniques. Simply alter the position of the brush to straighten, create loose waves or form tight curls. Additionally, the rippled nylon bristles fo the Square Thermal Brushes increase contact with hair, which results in faster drying times. The thermal ceramic-coated barrels maximize results while protecting hair, as well as reducing static. And, the soft-touch grip and sturdy composition ensure the brush will style strands comfortably and reliably. Available in 2", 2.5" and 3" sizes.
New round brushes are also being introduced in the Edge Ahead by Fromm Copper Core Thermal Round Brush collection. Available in a new merlot hue, these brushes feature a copper core barrel for temperature control and even heat distribution. The Copper Core Thermal Round Brushes dry hair faster due to superior temperature regulation compared to brushes with traditional aluminum ceramic coating. Copper is also naturally anitmicrobial, which can prevent dandruff, itching and flaking. In addition to the copper coated barrel, with a sealant to maintain ideal heat resistance over time, this collection features an insert bar that infuses two-in-one technology to blowdry with ionic nylon properties while the 100% boar bristle strip grips and shines hair. The waved nylon bristles latch on to locks for a final result that is dried in less time and with less damage. Available in 2", 2.5" and 3" sizes.
