Kiki Curls CG Proof Brushes
Most brushes destroy curls instead of protecting them. We designed these around what curls actually need — not round plastic based on color.
As a hairdresser, you see it every day: clients using home brushes that ruin their curls. Standard brushes pull curl clumps apart, causing frizz and breakage. Our CG-proof brushes are different. Each model — Brush CG Proof, Brush II, Brush III — is fine-tuned for specific hair density, function, and stage in the routine. Not one-size-fits-all.

The Problem
The wrong brush can slowly turn perfect curls into frizz, breakage, and frustration. Curly hair requires a completely different approach than straight hair. Especially within the Curly Girl Method, the right brush is not a detail but an essential part of your routine.
Many people still use standard brushes designed for straight or sleek hair. This pulls natural curl clumps apart and creates more frizz. The right CG-proof brush helps keep curls together instead of pulling them apart.
Specific problems caused by the wrong brushes:
- More frizz after brushing
- Less definition in the curls
- More breakage
- Pain during brushing (especially for children)
- Curls that fall limp
Why People Choose Incorrectly
Most people choose a brush based on appearance, color, or price. But with curly hair, completely different properties are important:
- Flexibility (how pliable are the pins?)
- Tension (how much resistance does the brush provide?)
- Pin spacing (close or wide?)
- How the brush moves through wet hair
- How much control you get during styling
A cheap hard plastic brush can work fine for straight hair, but be disastrous for curls.
The Three Models — What Is the Difference?
Designed to gently remove tangles from wet hair without unnecessary tension. This model works more flexibly and gently. The pins provide less resistance. Ideal for detangling without clients saying "ouch!" Perfect for children and sensitive scalps. Many people find this the most comfortable way to detangle.
Provides more control and helps create clear curl clumps and definition. This model offers more tension and control. You feel more "grip" while brushing. This allows you to better define curl clumps during styling. For those who want to deliberately form curl clumps and have more control over the final result.
Larger surface area and wider spacing so that thick hair is distributed faster and more evenly. This model is larger and allows you to work through thick or long hair more quickly. Less sectioning needed, more coverage per stroke. Ideal for voluminous or long hair where speed and efficiency are important.
How to Choose the Right Brush
- Determine whether you mainly want to detangle or style
- Consider the thickness and volume of your hair
- Determine how much tension your hair can handle
- Always use on wet hair with conditioner or leave-in product
- Work from the bottom up to prevent breakage

Common Mistakes
- Brushing curls dry (they must be wet with conditioner or leave-in product)
- Using too much force (it is not a punishment; a gentle touch works better)
- Using a styling brush to remove heavy tangles (use Brush CG Proof instead)
- Not sectioning thick hair (work in sections for better results)
- Using brushes that are too small for a lot of hair (this takes more time and energy)
- Choosing the wrong brush based on appearance instead of function
- Blaming frizz on the brush instead of technique (it is often how you brush)
Why CG Proof Is Different
We tested these through real Curly Girl routines and hairdresser insights — not through laboratory standards. This is how we know exactly where spacing starts to go wrong with thick hair, when flexibility makes the difference between comfort and pain, and how the difference between our three models actually feels in practice.
