This is an ideal way to naturally nurture the hair using oils the body is custom-producing that are already beneficial and specific to the individual's own hair type. While [hair oil or grease](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoothing-hair-oil) might be seen as an element of uncleanliness, it is actually good for the hair and the body's natural way of moisturizing the strands. The Flat Brush aids in this process by pulling the oils from the root throughout the strand with [soft nylon and boar bristles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mela-keras-le-brush). The brush has a tug-free pull that offers a soft, yet effective, spreading of the oil from root to tip. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flat-brush Technology:** Opportunity for haircare brands to develop innovative hair combs that better distribute natural oils for healthier hair. - **Natural Hair Nurturing:** Opportunity to tap into the growing demand for haircare products that utilize the body's natural oils to promote healthier hair. - **Individualized Haircare:** Opportunity for personalized haircare solutions that consider the unique needs of each individual's hair type and oil production. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Haircare Products:** Opportunity to develop and market innovative hairbrushes and combs that distribute natural oils for improved hair health. - **Personal Care:** Opportunity to create personalized haircare solutions that embrace the benefits of the body's natural oil production for healthier hair. - **Beauty and Grooming:** Opportunity to introduce haircare products and tools that enhance the natural oil distribution process for healthier and more lustrous hair. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Versatile Metal Bristle Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metal-bristle-brush.md) - [Heated Smoothing Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designmes-smoothing-brush.md) - [LED Light Hairbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foreo-flip.md) - [Wellness-Promoting Brush Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwind-brush.md) - [Specifically Designed Hairbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-bonne-brosse.md) - [Vegan Hair Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-hair-brush.md) - [High-Tech Thermal Hair Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bounce-brush.md) - [Scalp Care Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-scalp-brush.md) - [Multi-Functional Smoothing Hair Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoothing-hair-oil.md)
