The ReFa ION CARE BRUSH is a Japanese scalp-cleansing brush built around a ceramic ion plate and a three-step "Fit, Reach, Scrape" bristle design. It clears buildup from the scalp during a normal shampoo, generating negative ions that leave hair smoother once it dries. Salon-grade scalp care, folded into a normal wash. Ion Plate Technology and the Fit, Reach, Scrape Bristle Design An internal ceramic plate generates negative ions as the brush moves through wet hair, which helps reduce static and smooth the cuticle for a glassier finish once dry. The bristle layout works in three steps: the rounded head fits the scalp's curve, graduated bristles reach into pores, and ball-point tips scrape away sebum and buildup without scratching. Sourced directly from Japan, it is designed to do in the shower what a salon head-spa treatment does in a chair. Dual-Structure Bristles for Scalp and Strand Stiffer inner bristles work at the root to lift dirt and product buildup, while softer outer bristles detangle the more delicate lengths of wet hair. The bristle-free centre of the head applies even pressure across the scalp, closer to a professional thumb massage than a standard brush stroke.
