What is the Best hairbrush for Curly Hair?
We all know that curly hair looks amazing, but detangling curly hair can be tough — especially for kids with curls. If you or your kids have curly hair, you’ll know that brushing it can sometimes lead to more problems than it solves! Happy Hair Brushes WORK to detangle and brush the curliest of hair. Check out the customer videos below.

How to Brush Curly Hair and protect the curls.
Firstly, decide if you want brushed hair or brushed hair that boofs out. Both are great, they just have a different visual impact.
Ok, so brushed and detangled curly hair can be achieved by using a Happy Hair Brush on damp wet hair. Because our brushes have boar bristles, they wont break the hair strand with each stroke like plastic bristles will do.
If you have a lot of curls, section the hair out and brush each section. Customers have told us that they find their hair curls EVEN MORE when using Happy Hair brushes because of the gentle bristles.
If you are extra super careful with curls, then use the Happy Hair Brush in the shower and brush through the conditioner with it. That will allow detangling while protecting the hair shaft.
If you brush curly hair when dry, you will seperate the curl clump and stretch it apart. This will making your hair volume bigger and more beautiful (the BOOF effect). Again, we have had many customers happy to finally feel fee and fully self expressed because their hair isnt a problem to brush anymore.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our brushes bring together five different features that combine to create the perfect hair brush for both kids and grown-ups with curly hair. The unique design means that the brush glides with ease through even most tangled and unruly curly hair, but without all the pain that usually comes with unraveling those tough knots that anyone with curly hair knows only too well.
Parents tell us all the time that we have totally transformed the hair brushing experience for both them and their curly-headed kids. Although our brushes are designed for detangling curly hair and tackling even the toughest tangles, they are also made to gently glide through knots as they detangle, so that there’s no pain and no struggling, and everyone emerges from the curly hair brushing experience unscathed!
Our curly hair brush is made using a combination of boar bristles and nylon pins designed to distribute the scalp’s natural oil through your hair. This is what stops curly hair becoming frizzy when you brush it, and also helps to bring out its natural shine.
Wet or dry, ours is the best brush for curly hair and keeping it knot- and tangle-free. When you use a Happy Hair Brush on wet curly hair, it won’t break or become frizzy; if you use it when it’s dry, you won’t have the struggle of trying to force your way through knots and tangles.
Kids with physical and sensory challenges can find having their hair brushed an unhappy experience at the best of times, but it can be even more miserable for kids with curly hair. What makes our Sensory Brush unique — and so appreciated by parents — is that even though it can untangle even the most matted and knotted curly hair, it features softer nylon pins and thicker, rounder micro tips that make it soft enough to use on sensitive heads.
This is the second of these brushes I have bought. I bought one initially for my then 3 year old who hated having her hair brushed. She loved this brush. No pulling, no tears. She has extremely fine toddler hair and it doesn't yank it or pull it. I've now bought a second one for myself. My fine, thin hair loves it, I love the massaging bristles too.
I have very thick wavy hair that knots easily, same with my toddler, I didn’t know what to expect when it came to this brush but now our hair now only takes a minute or so to brush out completely and it doesn’t frizz which means we keep our curls and no more tears.
Amazing, amazing brush! I bought this for my toddler but now we share. We take turns brushing each others hair because it doesn’t hurt at all. Have told all my friends and family that they need a Happy Hair Brush in their lives.
Brilliant!! My toddler hated having her hair brushed. But not anymore!!! She calls it her “special brush” and now it’s not a wrestling match to brush her hair, especially after we’ve just washed it! Thank you Happy Hair Brush!
