Hailing from the magnificent 15th century estate in the heart of Tuscany, which was originally built for Niccolò Machiavelli, Villa Mangiacane’s wine collection never ceases to impress.

The Beauty Enthusiast
The Flex Brush™
The Most Forgiving Hair Brush
The ideal gift for everyone on your holiday shopping list is The Flex Brush™—the newest and most forgiving hair brush on the market that’s designed for wet or dry hair, aging hair, sensitive scalps, children’s hair, men’s hair and hair extensions. The brush’s unique flex technology allows it to glide through hair gently, avoiding the stretching that can break wet hair and the tangling that damages dry hair. As it separates strands, it bends to follow the contours of the head and stimulates natural-oil production and blood flow to the scalp.
The Flex Brush™ was created by celebrity hair stylist Angelo David, owner of Angelo David Salon in New York City. Use it in combination with the Flex Spray for maximum hair protection. Hair requires gentle handling during dry winter weather because tugging and excess tension can further damage already-dry hair. The Flex Spray, a revolutionary leave-in conditioner, increases the hair’s flexibility to minimize damage during styling and detangling. It creates shine without weight and strengthens strands while it smoothes them. Together, The Flex BrushTM and Flex Spray help promote hair health and inhibit hair breakage and loss.
