Whale Guardian Brush
We're giving away 25% of proceeds from sales of the Whale Guardian Brush to the Toowú Latseen School Project, a training group for Lingít indigenous youth, based on the old warrior's code and traditions but evolved with radical love and healing.
The Whale Guardian Brush was designed in collaboration with Lingít, Filipina, and Kanienkehá:ka activist, storyteller, and artist, Maka Monture Paki | Keixé Yaxtí.
Whale Guardian Brush Intention: Guided by the rhythm of migration, whales teach us harmony in motion. In their wisdom, we find strength in community. As they compose songs of connection we learn from their poetry with humility. Our hearts resonate with their existence as we cherish their role as guardians of the ocean's spirit.
Whale Guardian Brush Mantra: I am very much a new thing in the folds of the world. Our Ancestors, let them carry me on their backs. The stars are guiding me, the way that they shine upon me.

The FREE YOUR HAIR Brush was designed to bring vitality, pleasure and connection into your daily life, one brush stroke at a time.
Designed for all hair types and especially curls,our vegan brushes have uniquely long nylon bristles in addition to shorter ones which mimic boars hair without the usage of animal products.
*The bristles on our brushes start stiff and soften up beautifully over time, so use gently at first on very sensitive scalps.
The engraved designs on our brushes are imagined and drawn by American and Indigenous artists, each with a specific meaning, intention and mantra to use while brushing.
Our brush parts are manufactured by our factory partners in Ningbo, China before they are engraved and hand finished with acrylic paint and packed to ship to you from our home-based shop in California.
Our classically mixed all-vegan bristles are made with nylon on a rubber cushion bed and beech-wood handle. Engravings are hand painted with acrylic paint.
Keep brush in a cool dry place, remove buildup manually from cushion bed, and be sure to keep the wood oiled especially through the warm and cold seasons.
High temperatures and excessive water exposure may cause brittleness, wearing and bristle loss. See more specific care instructions in our FAQ's.
