Mizu is the Japanese word for water. So, why is the newest brush from Mint Tools named Mizu? Possibly because it can be used in water. That’s a novelty for a high-end hair brush.

The Mizu is like its big sister, the Kaze which we introduced here last year. This new version has an anti-slip rubberized finish, making it versatile and easy to use in a shower. It won’t slip out of your hands very easily, and the water won’t damage the brush.

This brush, like the others from Mint Tools, does not pull or tug at hair. It glides through easily, on wet or dry hair. With the boar bristles, the natural oils are distributed through the hair and what I like is the massaging that they provide.  It is like a spa for your scalp. Gently brush your scalp in a circular motion and feel the massage. Not only that, but it is intended to improve the circulation in the scalp. It’s a refreshing feeling getting a scalp massage, and now you can do it yourself.

Measuring 9 ¼ inches in length, with the head coming in at 2 ½ inches wide, the Mizu fits into totes and larger purses. And, it is light weight.

Last year after testing and reviewing the Kaze, I fell in love with it. It has been my go-to brush, making my hair softer and silkier than usual. I am happy to have this smaller Mizu. I especially like the rubberized feel. It is easy to hold and feels good.

The presentation is beautiful. The brush comes in a black box with a slide out drawer. Inside is a mint green lining gently cradling the Mizu. This makes it a great gift for anyone who values the health of their hair, and that is most of us.
