Hairbrush

A brush is typically used on longer hair, while a comb is normally used on shorter hair, but can

be still used for short hair. A flat brush is normally used for detangling neat and tidy hair,

after a sleep; a round brush for styling and curling hair, especially by a professional stylist,

and with a blowdryer. A paddle brush is used to straighten hair, but not all work, they are

usually used on untidy unkept hair. A hairbrush is also useful in removing loose hairs, and in

increasing circulation to the scalp.

The brushing of a domestic animal’s fur is often perceived as a mark of affection and/or a bonding

experience, which can have a soothing effect, e.g. making a cat purr. Special brushes are made for

cats and dogs. For an equine’s tougher hair, a curry-comb is used.
