Expert Picks: Best Brush for Hair Extensions

Certain brushes will work perfectly to detangle hair extensions, add shine, and reduce static. The suggested brushes will vary based on the type of hair extension, as well as where you are brushing, i.e. the roots to ends, or solely the hair extensions. Our natural hair contains oil that spreads throughout the hair, but while wearing extensions, the oil does not reach the mid-shaft to the ends of the hair. Some suggestions may be a bit unusual, but I assure you that the brushes will work!

For Individual Strand Hair Extensions; Keratin bonds and i-tip hair extensions

The loop brush (made of silicone loops) will separate individual strand hair extensions at the root. Carefully brushing in sections, not one fell swoop, is recommended. Often individual strands will tangle into one another at the root and the loop brush will help to separate them.

Natural Hair and Curly Hair Extensions

The Denman Brush was created in the 1930s; its tight bristles work perfectly to mold curls, detangle, and blow-dry curly or natural hair. The brush does work well on all hair textures, but the Denman brush is superior for anti-frizzing the hair as well as for preventing frizz in hair extensions. The design will pull the hair taught and achieve beautiful curls.

Natural Boars Bristle Brush (for natural hair and extensions)

Made of 100% boar bristle, the Mason Pearson brush is one that is verifiably natural. The natural bristles will stimulate the hair follicle allowing for increased circulation, blood flow, and growth. The bristles promote shine and I often blow dry with it. The bristles do not break hair and will create a perfect blow-dry.

Spornette DeVille Boar Bristle Brushes

Made of boar bristle, which creates intense shine, you can pick your style; oval, paddle, or sculpting brush. The brush stimulates the scalp and will help to distribute natural oil through the hair extensions. Keep one in your purse to keep hair extensions supple and detangled.

What are the key factors to consider when choosing the best brush for hair extensions?

When choosing the best brush for hair extensions, consider factors like bristle type (avoid metal), brush shape (wide-tooth for detangling), handle design for comfort, and brush material. Additionally, opt for brushes with soft bristles to prevent damage and breakage of hair extensions.

Detangling Bristle Hairbrush

The extra hair achieved by hair extensions will require extra care! Detangling after shampoo/conditioner is essential to prevent breakage. The brushes are also great to use on dry hair and brushing throughout the day. During the winter months, dry heat leads to dry hair and detangling is paramount.

1) Porcupine Nylon Dog Brush Works Great on Thick Extensions

The porcupine dog brush made by Chi is designed to detangle a dog's coat but works great on detangling hair extensions. Made with both nylon tips and soft bristles, the combination detangles hair extensions, promotes shine, and decreases flyaway hair. The pins of the brush are longer than a brush designed for humans and will detangle thick hair. I accidentally purchased one, and in desperation I used it! I was shocked at how well it worked on my hair extensions; no static and loads of shiny hair. After this experience, I decided to purchase them for my hair extension clients.

2) In our salon, we work with lots of hair extensions, hair systems, and wigs, we use the Scalp Master Detangling brush. It is made of flexible ball-tipped bristles, similar to the wet brush, but I love the handheld portion of the brush. I use it to spread a hair mask on wet hair and detangles dry hair well. This brush has worked to detangle the nastiest hair knots. It is also a scalp massager, you may want to use it to promote healthy hair growth.
