Just because we all need a hairbrush doesn’t mean we all need the same hairbrush—one size doesn't fit all. So we checked in with Penelope Love, a stylist at Sam Brocato Salon in New York, to get her take on the best brush to use whether your hair is super thin, super thick or somewhere in between.

Thin Hair
The last thing thin-haired ladies need is a brush that’s going to make them lose even more strands. That’s where a cushioned paddle brush with boar bristles comes in. (We like this one from Fromm.) According to Love, it helps to lift hair from scalp while blow drying, creating volume at the roots while still being super gentle on finer hair.
Curly Hair
If you’ve got a head of wild curls, Love suggests picking up a boar bristle brush mixed with nylon, like this one from Morrocco Method. “These will create the most tension, resulting in a super shiny and smooth finish,” she says.

Frizzy Hair
Thick Hair
Choosing a brush for thick hair depends on the look you’re going for. For a smoother, straighter result, opt for a paddle brush with nylon bristles, like this one from Sephora. For a bouncier style, use a nylon round brush with a ceramic barrel, like this version from Drybar. (Love tells us the ceramic barrel acts as a curler.)

Natural Hair
To detangle natural hair, Love suggests using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb like this one from Natural Curls Club. To style, her pick is the classic styling brush from Denman.
The base is rubber, which helps to smooth strands and prevent static,
while the nylon bristles are gentle on the hair and help prevent
breakage.
