Hair Styling & Accessories

Choosing the right hair brush makes a noticeable difference to styling results and hair health. Detangling brushes with flexible bristles glide through wet or dry hair without pulling, while paddle brushes smooth longer lengths efficiently. Round brushes add volume and shape during blow-drying, and wide-tooth combs distribute conditioner evenly without causing breakage.

Hair accessories like sectioning clips, scrunchies and headbands help you achieve salon-quality results at home. Gentle materials reduce friction and prevent damage, particularly important for fine, colour-treated or textured hair. Quality tools last longer and perform better, making them a worthwhile investment in your daily routine.

Our Tralee pharmacy stocks brushes and accessories suited to different hair types and styling needs. Whether you're detangling children's hair, creating sleek styles or adding volume, you'll find practical tools that work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which hair brush works best for detangling wet hair? +
Detangling brushes with flexible, widely-spaced bristles work best on wet hair. They bend and flex to glide through knots without pulling or breaking strands. Start from the ends and work upward in sections. Avoid traditional brushes with stiff bristles on wet hair, as this is when hair is most vulnerable to damage and breakage.
How do I choose a hair brush for fine hair? +
Fine hair benefits from brushes with soft, flexible bristles that won't pull or stress delicate strands. Paddle brushes with cushioned bases distribute pressure evenly, while boar bristle brushes help distribute natural oils for shine. Avoid brushes with metal-tipped or very stiff bristles, which can cause breakage. Smaller brush heads often provide better control for finer textures.
Can I use the same brush for styling and detangling? +
While some brushes serve multiple purposes, dedicated tools often work better. Detangling brushes focus on removing knots gently, while round brushes create volume and shape during blow-drying. Paddle brushes smooth and straighten effectively. Having two or three brushes for different tasks helps you achieve better results and protects your hair from unnecessary stress during styling.
How often should I replace my hair brush? +
Replace your hair brush every six to twelve months, or sooner if bristles become bent, broken or loose. Clean your brush weekly by removing trapped hair and washing with mild shampoo to prevent product buildup and bacteria. Quality brushes last longer with proper care, but worn bristles lose effectiveness and can damage hair rather than styling it smoothly.
