Choosing the Perfect Brush for Your Hair Type: A Complete Guide

Great hair care goes beyond just picking the right shampoo and conditioner – your choice of brush makes a huge difference too. Since every hair type is unique, with its own texture, length, and thickness, finding the right brush for your specific needs is key to achieving the best results.

Keep Your Brushes in Top Shape

A brush is an essential part of our daily styling routine, so keeping it clean is a must. Over time, hair, dead skin cells, and product buildup can make your brush less effective. Here’s a simple cleaning routine:

Fill a sink with warm water and add a bit of gentle soap
Soak your brush bristle-side down for a few minutes
Remove any visible debris
Use a fine-toothed comb to gently clear out any remaining particles
Be gentle when cleaning to protect the bristles from damage

Pro tip: Did you know that brushes should be replaced regularly, just like your toothbrush? It’s recommended to get a new brush every 6 months.

Why the Right Brush Matters

Your hair’s response to heat, styling, and care products is unique. Using the wrong brush can mean the difference between gorgeous, healthy-looking hair and dealing with dry, frizzy strands. That’s why Hairdreams offers specialised brushes designed for various hair lengths, textures, and extensions.

New: Hairdreams Round Brushes in 4 Sizes

Our brushes’ extra-soft and flexible bristles gently detangle hair and smooth its texture without causing damage. The ceramic coating helps style more efficiently, cuts down on static, and leaves your hair with a beautiful shine. Plus, these brushes come with an easy-grip textured handle and a built-in tail comb for easy sectioning.

Hairdreams 25mm Round Brush

Ideal for shorter cuts and bangs, this brush helps you add volume and create precise curls. It’s especially great for special occasions when you want those perfect curls. If you have Hairdreams MicroLines or thickening treatments, this brush is essential for your styling kit.

Hairdreams 32mm Round Brush

This brush works wonders on medium-length hair, creating beautiful curls with ease. It features the same exquisite care effect of the flexible bristles that gently detangle and smooth hair. It shares all the great features of its smaller sibling but is perfectly sized for medium cuts.

Hairdreams 43mm Round Brush

At 43mm, this brush hits the sweet spot for shoulder-length hair. Whether you’re going for gentle waves or a sleek, straight look, it delivers. The ceramic coating speeds up drying time while being gentle on your hair. It’s particularly good for clients with Hairdreams extensions.

Hairdreams 53mm Round Brush

Our largest round brush is designed specifically for long hair. Create flowing waves or smooth, straight styles with ease. It handles long sections efficiently while adding shine. For Hairdreams extension clients, especially those with 5-star and 7-star quality hair (which has a natural slight wave), this brush is a must-have.

New Addition: Hairdreams Paddle Brush

The Paddle Brush is the ideal tool for effortless hair detangling. Its flat shape allows you to manage larger sections of hair and prevent frizz, especially during blow-drying. A quick note for extension wearers: Avoid brushing over the attachment points – use our special Extensions Brush for those areas instead. Each Paddle Brush comes in a luxurious velvet pouch.

Extensions Brush XL

While we created this brush specifically for extensions, it works beautifully on natural hair too. What makes it special for extensions? The rounded bristles detangle without catching on attachment points. It’s perfect for daily care, letting you brush thoroughly from roots to tips.

Pro tip: On the go? Try our “Mini Brush” – a compact version of the Extensions Brush that fits perfectly in your handbag, complete with its own velvet pouch.
