Cricket Brushes & Combs NZ | Official Stockist | Zilion
Cricket in New Zealand
Cricket makes professional hair brushes and combs, and each line is built around one idea. Static Free brushes are made to stop flyaways, Ultra Smooth combs and brushes are infused with conditioning oils, Silkomb combs are silicone-infused for drag-free glide, and Carbon Combs are made from carbon fibre for strength around heat and chemicals. Together they cover cutting, colouring, blow-drying and everyday detangling.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of Cricket, with 44 products available. That includes Technique Thermal round brushes from 19mm to 83mm, boar and nylon styling brushes, paddle and teasing brushes, rattail and cutting combs, and Ultra Clean Pro sectioning clips. For stylists and home users looking for a Cricket stockist in New Zealand, the range is here in NZ dollars.
About Cricket
The Static Free line covers most everyday brush shapes: vented Fast Flo brushes for quick drying, a Mini Fast Flo for handbags, Tunnel and Volumizer brushes for root lift, Sculpting and Cushion styling brushes, round Thermal brushes and the RPM range. The RPM Deluxe Boar brushes use 100% natural boar bristles in 8, 12 and 12XL rows for shine and polish, while the RPM row brushes on 14mm to 26mm barrels handle short hair, fringes and tight curls.
Technique Thermal brushes have heat-conductive aluminium barrels in eight sizes, from a 19mm barrel for short hair and fringes to an 83mm barrel for long, smooth blowouts. The Centrix Visage Paddle Brush has ball-tipped bristles in an air-cushioned pad for gentle detangling, and the Amped Up Teasing Brush uses a triple-row bristle pattern with a pointed tail for height and sectioning.
Cricket combs are just as specific. Ultra Smooth combs carry conditioning micro-agents in the comb material, with argan and coconut versions. Silkomb combs are silicone-infused with stainless steel pin tails on the rattail styles. Carbon Combs are high-grade carbon fibre, suited to use around blow-dryers, hot tools and colour services, with a four-piece Stylist pack covering the core shapes.
