In order to maintain healthy looking hair it is important that you have the right tools and adopt all the right habits. When it comes to grooming there is no question about needing a good hairbrush. A top stylist will always recommend a hairbrush that has boar bristles and although these may come at a slightly more elevated cost that that of a regular plastic one, it is without doubt a wise investment.

The best hairbrush you can buy at a relatively moderate cost is one that has both boar and synthetic bristles such as nylon. This mix of the two fibres will give you the best results when it comes to brushing, styling and general grooming of the hair. The boar bristles are gentle on the hair while the synthetic bristles help to dry the hair much quicker. Without doubt a good brush when uses properly will create shine by distributing oils from the scalp in an even manner over and down the length of the hair. In addition, a quality brush will help to detangle the hair without being too harsh on the scalp and tugging at hair strands which can lead to breakages.

One of the best paddle brushes on the market that comes at a reasonable price is the cushioned paddle brush by Denman. It is extremely gentle on the hair and an excellent grooming tool when it comes to detangling. The beauty of this particular brush is that it is inexpensive and caters for just about all hair types regardless of length.

However, if it’s the best of the best you are after when it comes to hairbrushes the Mason Pearson is the brush to have. Its boar bristles are renowned for their gentle nurturing making it a favourite amongst leading stylists. Although the price is considerably more elevated it is worth every penny and has won several awards over the years for its consistent reliability.
