Common Types of "Mix" or Combo Brushes:

Double-Sided Brush: This is the most common type of combo brush. It features two different brush heads on a single handle, offering versatility for grooming.

Side 1: Pin Brush: This side has widely-spaced wire pins, often with a protective tip on each pin. It's used for detangling and removing loose hair from medium to long-haired or curly-coated pets.

Side 2: Bristle Brush: This side has soft, tightly packed bristles. It's used to remove loose hair and dirt from short-haired pets, and it also helps to smooth the coat and distribute natural oils for a healthy shine.

Multi-Function Brushes: Some brushes are designed to perform several tasks. For example, a single brush might have:

Grooming: A side with pins or bristles for regular brushing.

Hair Removal: The back of the brush might have a textured surface (often silicone or rubber) to collect pet hair from furniture or clothing.

Massage: The bristles or pins are designed to also provide a gentle massage, which can improve blood circulation and make the grooming experience more enjoyable for the pet.
