Mohawk Blonde brush is 35 years old-no link to this brush. It's a stiff brush with a wooden base.
I mainly use it to distribute oils like coconut, jojoba to my hair by rubbing the oil on the bristles and brushing it through.

BRUSHES:
There are many BBB available in stores(USA) beauty supply stores like Sally's and stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, Ulta,even Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and Target! It's always better to be able to feel the firmness of the bristles. Some people with fine hair have trouble with BBB so they should seek a softer bristle.
When you order online you can't always know the firmness of the bristles.
My 2 paddle style BBB, Whirler & Earth Theraputic are a bit more gentle than the Madora BBB which is very stiff with a wooden base. I use the stiffer brush for scalp stimulation.
ALL colors of bristles, blonde/brown/black vary in stiffness.

COMBS:
I started wide tooth combing in 2005 after learning the benefits from a long hair expert. The biggie was to only comb wet hair. Good wide tooth combs are a little harder to find in stores, but it seems that more companies have been making them in the last couple years. You can find Goody, Conair and Scunci combs now.
If you can, get a Madora or Hairsense bone comb because they are really great.
I like the combs with no handle. Why? It gives more of a hand hair connection and I can detect a knot faster.

Note-These combs and brushes in the video are the best of my collection and mostly still available to buy.(2012)
A good comb or brush will last you a long time! Your hair is worth it.
The most I paid for a comb or brush was 30.00.

Cubelixa: Interesting that you oil your wooden comb.Wouldn't the oils get old and rancid in the comb after a while? I have a TT but have only used it once. The sound it made was horrible. lol

TheBritishCuppa: Comb first to detangle. Brush after. I comb and brush as needed and everyone is different. I wear my hair up so it keeps hair neat. More details on this in upcoming video.

Wow I only have one comb (George Micheal's) I love it and find that does it for me. I don't use a brush at all. I like the look of the Body Shop's wooden comb and might have a look at this one. But not sure having more than one comb is necessary. I guess I am in some ways a minimalist at heart :-) Love all that you have though :-)

How often should I comb or brush my hair during the day?

P.S : Your hair looks wonderful! <3

Great work. I enjoyed how you represented each comb and brush. Each has quality within different price ranges. Thank you.

Excellent clip. I too have two combs by Hercules Sagemann. Good quality. I also have the wooden comb from The Body Shop which is my favourite at the moment. I use it every day along with my Tangle Teezer. I oil it from time to time with olive oil because the last wooden comb I used got so dry over time that it just snapped into half one day.
