A hairbrush is a tool used for grooming hair. It typically consists of a handle and a head with bristles or teeth that help detangle and smooth hair. Hairbrushes come in various shapes and sizes, designed for different hair types and styles. Common types include paddle brushes, round brushes, and vent brushes, each serving specific purposes in hair care. Using a hairbrush can help distribute natural oils from the scalp, promoting healthier hair. Regular brushing can also stimulate the scalp, which may encourage hair growth. Proper care of hairbrushes, such as cleaning them regularly, can extend their lifespan and maintain their effectiveness.
