5 Reasons to Pre-order a FLIP™ plus LED Detangling Hairbrush
Looking for the best red light therapy for hair growth? Do you want less breakage? Fuller hair? A healthier scalp? That Hollywood shine? Here are some reasons pre-ordering a FLIP™ plus LED Detangling Hairbrush (1-15 Sept) will be your best buy of 2026. But besides it being a detangling dream for all hair types, and a few more reasons we'll untangle in a minute, it's important I tell you about entropy today, because that's what you're fighting on your head. That's what we're fighting in all our battles - from unintentional, drelocked, split-ends hair, to failing relationships, dying flowers on the windowsill, and an aging body. It's all the same thing, dependent on the cruel inevitability of being stuck in our arrow of time moving only forwards.
Entropy is one of the non-negotiable rules of our universe, presumably all universes if we were ever to confirm there were more than one. Basically, it means that order will always slip into disorder. Nothing is stable and perfect forever. Statistically, there are infinitely more ways of a system being disordered than ordered, and order is difficult to maintain or achieve while disorder is far more likely. To slip into disorder, you just need to do nothing; just wait, and you'll get there anyway.
We can try to keep a closed system within a larger system in order, like, for example, a body in an environment. The price of keeping the body ordered is increasing the disorder in the environment (you consume things, take oxygen, turn organic matter around you into... well, you know what…). But if you remember just one thing from here, remember that all things and systems have a tendency of sliding towards entropy. Things being in order for more than a transitory sliver of time are a tiny miracle, and you're doing just fine. Sure, some chaos here and there, but that's the natural state of things. There is nothing wrong with you.
Surely, inevitably, disorder will spread. This applies to all energy and matter, and there is no escaping it. (Bleak much?) Not even stars can escape it. We know you're a star too, and we unfortunately can't rewrite the laws of the universe for either of you stellar individuals, but we can help you keep that greedy monster of entropy at bay a bit by recommending the best hair growth devices to restore order to your scalp and hair follicles so you can have fabulously shiny, healthy, and voluminous hair. The FLIP™ plus LED Detangling Hairbrush's LED therapy lights focus photon energy where it needs to go and where it can be absorbed and used to improve cellular processes. Less entropy, more order, better cell function, healthier hair.
This is what photobiomodulation, or light therapy, does in contact with living tissue: it modulates its responses and increases energy availability in the cell by directly affecting the mitochondria, organelles that produce energy, while also boosting microcirculation. Better microcirculation inevitably delivers more fresh blood full of nutrients and oxygen to the cell, where mitochondria burn the two to produce the energy that makes life possible - ATP - this time not on a simple, sluggish, barely surviving level, but thriving, repairing, and restoring functionality. This results in healthier cells and thicker, glossier, healthier-looking hair.
Why is the FLIP™ LED Detangling Hairbrush special?
Have you noticed how most hair care focuses on solving problems once they’ve already established residence rather than preventing them? We humans seem to have a tacit agreement and a negativity bias to ignore things while they're going well.
Understandable, because "going well" is not a threat to the body, mind, or ego. We're expert problem solvers who throw around sayings about pockets of prevention being worth more than bags and bags of cures. This is logical. The brain is very into energy conservation and will not waste attention and resources on prevention. Because everything is ok. BTW, that's why it is so hard to make yourself dump the bad habits unless you're being chased by some immediate health scare. So this is human nature. We remember a serum only when we see a graveyard of hair on the brush; we remember a heat shield when we notice dry, dull hair; and we start worrying about future hair loss only when we first notice the outline of our scalp through the hairline. Things remain abstractions until we experience them.
So FOREO engineers sat down and thought about how a red light brush may be the most practical way we have today to hit multiple issues at one, in a simple grooming ritual we all do daily. They based the FLIP™ LED Detangling Hairbrush line on the basic principles of red light therapy for hair growth and have vastly improved the brush design, fusing an expert detangler with a hefty number of LED lights.
FLIP™ LED line consists of two devices - FLIP™ LED Detangling Hairbrush and FLIP™ plus LED Detangling Hairbrush, plus a FLIP™ hair SPRITZ & SHIELD Detangling Spray with a Tri-Layer Repair System & heat protection. The main difference is that FLIP™ plus has 76 LEDs for stronger therapy delivery, compared to 46 on the other device. But why should you pre-order either? Well, well, well, we’re glad you asked.
Reason 1: User Experience
We do like our proof here at MYSA, and we get a special twinkle in our eye when it's 3rd party. The FLIP™ red light brush user experiences are based on 3rd party subjective testing with 30 healthy female & male subjects aged 21 - 60 years, over a 28-day period.
There were some instantly visible results, like 100% of users experiencing effective detangling without breakage and 98% delighting in less frizz & smoother, silkier hair. After a month, the biggest benefits were that 100% of users experienced improved overall hair quality, while 89% experienced a more balanced scalp.
Reason 2: DualFlex™ bristles
Ahh, the Goldilocks zone. Well, I've gotten some heavy-duty detanglers (being someone with curly, dry hair who does not brush daily and gets a lot of knots... a lot) and snapped the patototie out of my strands. The gentle ones, unfortunately, bent under the pressure of mega knots and their little spikes broke off. So most brushes force you to choose: gentle enough not to break hair, or firm enough to actually work. DualFlex™ bristles do both due to the new unique dual-profile design - flat on one side, narrow on the other. The flat side glides smoothly through lengths with minimal resistance, distributing pressure evenly across the hair shaft. The narrow side eases through knots with just the right controlled resistance to detangle without snapping the strand, so you can work through knots without applying excessive force.
No yanking. No wincing. No damaged, broken flyoffs. Just one uniform shiny surface.
Also, each bristle is crafted from TPEE - a material chosen for its unique ability to flex under pressure and spring back to its original form. Soft enough to move with your hair. Resilient enough to hold its shape, stroke after stroke.
Reason 3: Multiple Wavelengths (Colors)
Different wavelengths of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum appear as different colors. Each of these colors has a specific energy and penetration depth, so it serves various purposes, but all of these are energy, real energy. Light isn't just something that makes a garden look passively pretty, makes your sheer dresses so sexy, or prevents you from stepping on your kitty cat after sundown. FLIP™ LED Detangling Hairbrush and FLIP™ plus LED Detangling Hairbrush both offer 4 wavelengths, which hit different problems.
NIR + RED LIGHT THERAPY
Have you seen videos where a healthy, strong, hydrated strand of hair can be stretched, while a dry, damaged one breaks as soon as you start pulling? If your hair is feeling fragile and you have a sense that every brush stroke with a regular hair brush snaps a few strands off, these wavelengths are for you.
Near-infrared + Red LED light combo helps strengthen hair prone to breakage and thinning. But it is not focusing on hair length because that hair is already pretty much dead; the only living part of your hair is in the deeper layers of the scalp - the follicle from which the hair grows. A healthy follicle will produce thicker, stronger strands. So NIR and red light work on the root causes (see what we did here) of hair weakness for stronger, more resilient hair, rather than temporarily masking or patching up brittleness and damage once it's already there, as most topicals do. Treating only the symptoms without identifying the cause is like making a dead frog's leg dance with electricity. The leg may be dancing, but the frog is still dead; nothing is solved, but an illusion has been created.
MAIN BENEFITS:
strengthens hair prone to breakage
fortifies weakened hair follicles
promotes thicker, more resilient hair growth
BLUE LIGHT THERAPY
The only thing worse than having thin, brittle hair is having thin, brittle, oily hair. The type where you wash your hair in the morning, and by the same evening it's already oily and weighed down, maybe even with some dandruff flakes calling your shoulders home. And there is a cruel feedback loop: the more you wash, the faster it gets oily as your scalp tries to compensate for the natural oils you stripped away. Blue LED helps balance the scalp to address these common issues. It helps to calm inflammation and clear clogged follicles spewing sebum, creating a much better environment for a healthy, clean scalp that will not get greasy in a half day.
MAIN BENEFITS:
helps calm inflammation
clears clogged hair follicles
creates an optimal environment for hair to grow
GREEN LIGHT THERAPY
Remember what we said about microcirculation. Blood flow matters because it brings fresh nutrients and oxygen and removes metabolic byproducts from the site. That's why good circulation matters: you get more energy-building blocks and clear debris more effectively (lymph flow also plays a role). Green LED helps improve scalp and hair health by boosting circulation so that your hair follicles can thrive. This wavelength supports a more nourished and revitalized scalp for healthier, fuller hair growth.
MAIN BENEFITS:
enhances scalp circulation
nourishes and revitalizes hair follicles
supports optimal conditions for hair growth
Reason 4: Practical Perks
NO MORE FRIZZ
As if they weren't fancy enough as is, the bristles are also coated with an advanced anti-static finish that reduces flyaways & frizz, while boosting natural gloss & shine.
FLIP FRAME
The frame the collection is named for flips forward to shield bristles from picking up lint or getting tangled in your bag when the brush isn't in use. With a single flick, it flips back to open up bristles, ready to detangle and repair your hair.
ENHANCES ABSORPTION
Of any hair oils, hair and scalp serums, by evenly distributing them through your strands with the flat side of the bristles. This is what happens when you design functionality into every feature of a product.
INSANE BATTERY LIFE
The Plus version lasts up to 2 hours of use per USB charge, so you can charge it at home and enjoy your whole vacation without even thinking about the charger.
SMART SWEDISH DESIGN
The Swedes are really into life quality and practicality, and the FLIP™ plus LED Detangling Hairbrush is 100% waterproof, so it can be used on both wet and dry hair. You can also find step-by-step guides and more setting adjustments in the FOREO app.
A SINGLE INTERFACE
Super simple controls, as no one wants gadget complexity to eat up their life and joy in simple things. Just one button to turn the device on and off, switch between LED colors, and enter Bluetooth pairing mode.
INDICATOR LIGHT
Flashes to indicate when the device is in Bluetooth pairing mode, Smart Control mode, or needs to be charged.
