Other forms: hairbrushes
A hairbrush is the bristled tool you pull through your hair to tidy it. A wooden hairbrush, lose the hairbrush, clean the hairbrush.
Natural bristle carries the scalp's oil down the length of the hair and plastic does not, which is the old argument for a boar-bristle hairbrush. A brush and a comb do different jobs: a comb separates, a brush smooths.
