To use the dandy brush you should sweep it in the same direction as the hair growth using firm , short strokes with a little upward flick at the end of each stroke. It is typically best not to use the dandy on the face or any super sensitive areas as it can be too rough. The body brush (also called a soft brush) is used as a final step in the grooming.
