Gentle scalp-stimulating brush for long and thick hair / 8.66” long, 2.56” wide, with 0.96” pins

TEK’s paddle brush is the one that started our love affair with this brand. What’s so special about it? The first thing you’ll notice is that it provides your scalp with a gentle massage that feels downright spectacular. The long pins, made of 100% FSC-certified hornbeam wood, are long enough to reach the scalp even if your hair is thick — and they’re set in a cushy, pure black rubber base specifically designed to prevent excess pulling on the hair. (This is important, especially if hair loss is a concern of yours.)

Over time, since regular brushing distributes sebum along the hair shaft, your hair will look shinier and healthier — and trust us, this brush feels so good that you’ll be using it regularly. Since it stimulates circulation in the scalp, too, you’ll ensure that the nutrients and oxygen necessary for healthy hair growth are delivered to the hair follicle. We’re not saying miracles will occur and hair will start sprouting willy-nilly from your scalp within 24 hours, but you’ll be doing something that’s good for your hair and scalp health, and that’s always a plus.

To add to all of that, this paddle brush has been handmade in Italy with sustainable materials, including 100% FSC-certified natural ash wood treated only with linseed oil and beeswax. TEK does recommend that you use your brush regularly and replace it after two years for optimal performance — which you can do with less guilt given its eco-friendly materials.

This particular TEK brush is ideal for long and thick hair. Keep it on your nightstand and brush with it at bedtime; there’s something about this practice that feels deliciously old-fashioned in a decidedly chic way.
