How should you choose between a large and a small La Bonne Brosse hairbrush?
+

The choice comes down to your habits and your way of life. The large hairbrush (21 cm), featuring 11 rows of hand-tufted fibers, is ideal for a thorough daily brushing at home—especially on longer hair. The small hairbrush (17 cm), with its 7 rows of fibers, is more compact: it slips effortlessly into your bag, ready to follow you wherever you go. Easy to handle, it is equally well suited to children. Same composition, same benefits—only the size differs. Small or large… why not both?

Can a small hairbrush be used for everyday styling?
+

The La Bonne Brosse small hairbrush (17 cm) is made for everyday styling, though its ideal use depends on the length of your hair. On short hair, it becomes your daily companion. In pure boar bristle or in the boar and nylon bristle version, its keratin-rich fibers hydrate, smooth, and enhance the hair morning and night. Its compact size offers an easy grip and a precise gesture. On long hair, its smaller head (7 rows of fibers, compared to 11 on the large brush) covers less surface. It then becomes your touch-up brush throughout the day—perfect to keep in your bag and restore radiance to your hair between full brushings. For the morning and evening ritual, reach for the large brush.

Which hair types is a small hairbrush suited to?
+

The La Bonne Brosse small hairbrush comes in the same variations as the large model, making it a fit for every hair type. The 100% boar bristle version is best for fine, straight hair; for normal to thick hair, choose a boar and nylon bristle hairbrush; and the 100% nylon vegan hairbrush answers perfectly to the needs of curly or textured hair. There's a Bonne Brosse for every head of hair. Still undecided? Take our online hair diagnosis to find the brush number that's right for you.

Is a small brush as effective as a large one?
+

When it comes to care, yes: the La Bonne Brosse small hairbrush offers the same benefits as the large—natural hydration, sebum distribution, scalp massage, and shine. The fibers, whether boar bristle or nylon, are hand-tufted onto a supple rubber cushion, regardless of size. The nuance lies in the brushing surface. The large brush has a wider head with 11 rows of fibers, compared to 7 on the small one (17 cm). For a complete morning and evening brushing—especially on long or thick hair—the large hairbrush remains the most effective. The small brush, more nimble, plays its part beautifully as a travel companion or on shorter hair.
