The pin brush works best on which coat types?

• A. Corded
• B. Long and silky, curly or wavy, and thick
• C. Short and wiry
• D. Double-coated

Answer: (B)

Pin brushes are designed to glide through longer topcoats with gentle detangling action. They have flexible pins that lift and separate hairs without pulling hard, making them ideal for coats that show their length and texture. That’s why they work well on long and silky coats, as well as curly or wavy textures and thick coats where the hair tends to tangle but needs to be brushed through smoothly. In contrast, coats like cords, short wiry textures, or dense double coats often need different tools to break mats, reach undercoats, or avoid snagging, such as combs or slicker/rake styles. So the pin brush is best suited for long and silky, curly or wavy, and thick coats.
