The Manta brush is designed to be gentle so you achieve dramatically less breakage, fuller, longer hair & beautiful shine. Hairdresser, Entrepreneur and Inventor Tim Binnington created the Manta healthy hair brush for his wife, Dani, who lost her hair as a result of a life- threatening illness. Combining more than 30 years of hands-on experience in professional hair salons with the latest materials and technology available, Tim spent more than 5 years designing, developing and perfecting the Manta - a brush that is as gentle on your hair as running your fingers through it.
