Best Hairbrushes: The Brushes Hairdressers ACTUALLY Swear By

When we think of hair products and tools, usually things like a hair dryer, straightener and curling iron come to mind.

But one item that's often neglected? A hairbrush.

Hairbrushes are an integral part of anyone's hair care routine, whether it be to detangle your locks, give you the perfect blowout or pull your back into a sleek ponytail. Heck, Marcia Brady famously brushed through her hair 100 times a night to maintain her gloriously silky locks.

But with so many different brushes at different price points on the market, it can be difficult to navigate through them and find the best fit for you. So, with this in mind, we decided to ask hairdressers and hairstylists to share with us the brushes they swear by.

Check them out below! And for tips on how to clean your hairbrush, watch the video above.

"For sure the most money I have ever spent on a brush, but this is pure gold. It smooths the hair out so easily ... working on set it's my go-to 'most uses' brush.
