Mason Pearson

The Mason Pearson is the Rolls Royce of hairbrushes. If you buy this luxury hair tool, you’ll have to shell out at least $200. But it’s worth the money. Boasting boar bristles, nylon spikes, and a rubber cushion, the Mason Pearson easily detangles hair, evenly distributes your natural hair oils and leaves your locks smooth and shiny. In other words, say “ bye-bye” to frizz.

Christophe Robin

The name sounds like Winnie the Pooh’s best friend, but it’s actually the name of a luxury hairbrush. Called the Christophe Robin, it helps you get rid of product buildup and assists blood circulation. Made from wood and completely natural boar bristles, the Christophe Robin is a great detangling brush, but it will set you back quite a few pennies, around $108.

Volume Magnesium Small Brush

The Volume Magnesium Small Brush, a steal at $50, is ideal for people who are in pursuit of the perfect blowout. This magnesium alloy brush provides you with voluminous curls, something that many people struggle to achieve with those more pedestrian brushes. So why go to the hair salon when you can do a professional blowout on your own? You can totally do that with the Volume Magnesium Small Brush.

Redecker Hair Brush

The Redecker company has been around since 1935. This German company crafts their brushes mostly by hand. When you buy a Redecker hair brush, you get a brush made with Calcutta bristles. In case you’re not in the know, Calcutta bristles are the hardest wild boar bristles you can find. It also boasts a waxed olive wood finish. As it glides through the hair, it redistributes your natural hair oils, fighting against dryness and boosting shine. If you’re looking for a quality hairbrush but you’re not ready to part with a couple of hundred dollars, you’re in luck. The Redecker Olivewood Hairbrush costs around $50.

Oribe Large Round Hair Brush

Crafted in Italy, the Oribe hair brush isn’t your average styling tool. While cheaper hair brushes are manufactured in giant factories, a family-owned business makes the Oribe. In fact, the business has been around since 1869. That’s plenty of time for a company to perfect its craft. The Oribe features a beechwood handle that’s lovingly finished and varnished by hand. Since Oribe, the famed stylist, designed this luxury hair tool, it doesn’t come cheap. If you want to get your hands on this brush, you have to be ready to plunk down around $185. After all, you get what you pay for. You won’t find plastic or nylon on the Oribe brush. Instead, it features all boar bristles. The longest of the bristles are almost an inch long. The varying bristle lengths provide a steady grip, allowing you to easily maneuver the brush through your pampered locks.

These Brushes Are Worth It!

Sure, you can buy a bargain hairbrush to save a bit of cash, and it might do the job. However, it won’t perform as well as a more expensive hairbrush. Expensive hair brushes even last longer than other brushes, making them a smart buy when you want to get the most bang for your buck. So go ahead and take the plunge. Buy the hairbrush equivalent of a Lamborghini…or at least a Porsche.

A brush is a common tool with bristles, wire or other filaments. It generally consists of a handle or block to which filaments are affixed in either a parallel or perpendicular orientation, depending on the way the brush is to be gripped during use. The material of both the block and bristles or filaments is chosen to withstand hazards of its intended use, such as corrosive chemicals, heat or abrasion. It is used for cleaning, groominghair, make up, painting, surface finishing and for many other purposes. It is one of the most basic and versatile tools in use today, and the average household may contain several dozen varieties.

History[edit]

When houses were first inhabited, homeowners used branches taken from shrubs to sweep up dirt, hence using the first brushes. In 1859, the first brush factory in America was set up in New York.^[1]

Manufacture[edit]

A common way of setting the bristles, brush filaments, in the brush is the staple or anchor set brush in which the filament is forced with a staple by the middle into a hole with a special driver and held there by the pressure against all of the walls of the hole and the portions of the staple nailed to the bottom of the hole. The staple can be replaced with a kind of anchor, which is a piece of rectangular profile wire that is anchored to the wall of the hole, like in most toothbrushes. Another way to attach the bristles to the surface can be found in a fused brush, in which instead of being inserted into a hole, a plastic fibre is welded to another plastic surface, giving the option to use different diameters of bristles in the same brush.

Configurations include twisted-in wire (e.g. bottle brushes), cylinders and disks (with bristles spread in one face or radially).

By function[edit]

Removal of material (cleaning and polishing)[edit]

The action of these brushes is mainly in the tip of each flexible bristle which dislodges particles of matter.

• Paintbrush (fine art or house decoration)

Combing[edit]

The action of these brushes is more akin to combing than brushing, that is they are used to straighten and untangle filaments. Certain varieties of hairbrush are however designed to brush the scalp itself free of material such as dead skin (dandruff) and to invigorate the skin of the scalp.

• Grooming brush

Other[edit]

• Brush (electric), used on electrical motors
• Acid brush, described as consisting of glass threads, in 1906^[2]
• Acid brush, described as consisting of horsehair held in a crimped copper tube, in 1922^[3]

Cleaning[edit]

Brushes used for cleaning come in various sizes, ranging from that of a toothbrush, to the standard household version accompanied by a dustpan, to 36″ deck brushes. There are brushes for cleaning tiny cracks and crevices and brushes for cleaning enormous warehouse floors. Brushes perform a multitude of cleaning tasks. For example, brushes lightly dust the tiniest figurine, they help scrub stains out of clothing and shoes, they remove grime from tires, and they remove the dirt and debris found on floors with the help of a dust pan. Specific brushes are used for diverse activities from cleaning vegetables, as a toilet brush, washing glass, cleaning tiles, and as a mild abrasive for sanding.
