Shop TODAY tapped trichologists to learn all about the best brushes for thinning hair regarding their benefits, bristle type and best practices including the steps to follow during brush time and how often the brushes should be used. You should also keep in mind that there's a difference between thin hair and fine hair. Jenna Binette, a certified Maine-based trichologist and owner of TRIKHOS hair lab, notes that brushes designed for thinning hair both promote scalp circulation which can encourage hair growth and are gentle detanglers.
When it comes time to clean, you can simply use tweezers to remove any excess hair. When it comes to detangling, Kerry E. Yates, trichologist and founder of Colour Collective, recommends this detangler brush from Tangle Teezer.
Made with patented bristles, this brush is designed to detangle with a couple of passes. She says, "I didn't realize how much my brush was affecting my hair until I made the switch to a proper detangler. Prior to introducing this brush to my daily rotation, I would often just settle for frizziness and regular breakage by the end. But within just a few uses, I noticed a change in appearance thanks to how easy it is to comb through my tresses no tugging here!
When I use the wrong hairbrush, a lot of my hair comes out and gets stuck in the bristles. The flexible design helps prevent tugging, and I can tell that less hair gets stuck in the gentle bristles. I actually have this brush in a few colors and keep one on my vanity and in my purse. Binette recommends this hairbrush from Manta, especially if you plan on using it for regular scalp massages. And, if you plan on applying heat to your hair, this brush can tolerate up to degrees Fahrenheit.
