Choosing the right hairbrush: small or large, which is the best option?

Finding the best hairbrush is not always easy. Should you choose a small handbag hairbrush or a large hairbrush? It all depends on your habits and your hair sensitivity. Follow our guide to make the right choice.

Small hairbrush or large hairbrush: what are the key differences?

If you plan to use it daily, opt for a large hairbrush. La Bonne Brosse hairbrush is designed not only to brush the hair but also to deliver care and a stimulating scalp massage. With a wider brush head, the care provided is more effective and evenly distributed. The large format is more practical for massaging the scalp, as it covers a greater surface area. In addition, it offers a more comfortable grip for everyday use thanks to its longer handle.

A small hairbrush is ideal for travel. Measuring 17 cm in height compared to 21 cm for the large hairbrush, it easily fits into a handbag for a quick touch-up before an appointment or while traveling. Pair it with a matching small velvet pouch to protect its nylon fibers or boar bristles.

What is the best hairbrush for your hair type?

The best hairbrush depends above all on the texture and sensitivity of your hair. Hair that tangles easily will find an effective ally in a boar bristle and nylon hairbrush, capable of detangling without pulling. If this is your case, choose the N.02 hairbrush or the N.03 for more sensitive scalps.

For use on wet hair and for all hair types, you can rely on the N.04 hairbrush, or the N.07 if you have curly, coily, textured or thick hair. These are nylon fiber hairbrushes, perfect for detangling hair whether dry or wet.

Fine hair, on the other hand, will appreciate the softness of a 100% boar bristle hairbrush, ideal for preserving lightness. If this sounds like you, the N.01 hairbrush is perfect. The boar bristle hairbrush distributes the hair’s natural sebum from roots to ends, hydrating the hair fiber. It also helps remove impurities, allowing you to space out shampoos. Finally, to coat and add shine to your hair, choose the N.01 boar bristle hairbrush: it smooths the cuticles and protects the hair fiber.

How to choose between a mini hairbrush and a classic large hairbrush?

The choice between a mini hairbrush and a classic hairbrush mainly depends on your styling habits.

The first, wider and more comfortable, is the ideal ally for a complete daily at-home ritual. The second, lightweight and compact, is easy to carry on the go and helps keep hair disciplined throughout the day.

In reality, the perfect balance often lies in owning both: a small travel hairbrush for convenience and a large hairbrush for optimal daily care.
