Dr. Cyr started research on his skincare line two years ago in an effort to alleviate the concerns many of his post-operative patients had regarding scarring after surgery. From there the company evolved into a full-service skincare line designed to address the most common and stubborn conditions affecting the skin: Melasma/Sun Damage, Aging, Acne, and Scarring. It began in an effort to treat his wife suffering from sun damage/melasma and his children suffering from teenage acne.

THE FLEX BRUSH: The Ultimate Detangling Brush
Looking to stimulate your scalp, detangle your hair, and blow dry? Then The Flex Brush is your perfect brush! The Flex Brush bends to perfectly meet the contours of your head, massaging your scalp and stimulating the production of natural oils; hence promoting hair growth, reducing static and preventing breakage.
With vents allowing heat to pass through, blow drying won’t damage your brush. Whether you have curly hair, thin hair, thick hair, extensions, or a sensitive scalp, The Flex Brush is your go-to hair tool.
The Flex Brush is especially great for detangling children’s hair — no more struggles after the bath! The Flex Brush is made from natural rubber; the coating is a soft touch finish, very comfortable and easy to grip.
The Flex Brush Detangling System is the brainchild of two of the most innovative minds in beauty- Angelo David, owner of an elite salon in New York City, and Jacob Guttman, founder and CEO of Creative Pro Hair Tools.
While on the beach in Aruba, Angelo was pained by watching people destroy their hair as they yanked rigid brushes through knots, tearing ends and destroying roots. He contacted Jacob and together they designed The Flex Brush – an all-purpose tool that detangles safely, massages the scalp and promotes hair health and growth.
About Angelo David

About Jacob Guttman
Flex Brush Co-Founder Jacob Guttman has been an innovator in hair styling tools for over 25 years. His company, Creative Pro Hair Tools, is an insider favorite known for its quality, function and durability.
Unlike traditional brushes, the Flex Brush flexes to avoid snags on tough knots.
This results in pain and damage-free detangling on all hair types, wet or dry.
Parents call the Flex Brush a game-changer: Your kids will never complain about hair brushing again. Its flexibility allows the Flex Brush to perfectly meet the contours of your scalp – resulting in a soothing massage, which increases the supply of blood to your hair follicles.
The circulation provides oxygen and nutrients that are essential to growing strong, shiny hair.
The stimulation can also help prevent psoriasis, dandruff, hair loss, and other scalp issues.
The Flex Brush is vented and super light-weight, so it can be used while blow drying.
Air can pass freely through the integrated vents, resulting in much faster drying time. Curly or straight – dry or wet: The Flex Brush molds to the curvature of your head, detangling knotted hair and cleaning the scalp. The Flex Brush provides the perfect amount of pressure and stimulation, not hurting your scalp and tearing at your hair like ridged brushes.You May Also Like
