# Brush

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Hair Brush tool** in **Cinema 4D**, the most important grooming instrument. It brushes guides interactively in the viewport — with collision against the scalp geometry — to shape hairstyles the way a stylist would.

**Brush** is without question the most important tool, and works best in the **Guide** and **Point** modes.

As the name suggests, this tool brushes the guides (click & drag) interactively in the editor view.
