There is no doubt in my mind that a good hairbrush is the key to a good blowdry. As an extension wearer myself I have tried many brushes, My own sclap is senstive and a lot of the time my own hair is knotty and fine. The extensions give me volume I adore but it can be hard to manage of you are using a hard brush. Enter the Belle Brush.
The Irish brand was created in 2017 by the Galway-based Nancy & Eimear. As owner of Belle Hair salon, Nancy used her years of experience in the industry to develop a range of hair-care products that are gentle on the hair and suitable for all types – particularly those with extensions.
It all started with just one hero product – the Belle Brush Original – designed specifically for those with hair extensions in mind. This really is a brush that can do it all, from detangling to blow-drying and styling. Factors that contribute to its success are the brush’s curved head which does not tug on extension bonds; soft nylon bristles that prevent matting; and large vents which allow air to flow through the hair evenly when drying, reducing heat damage and also significantly cutting down on blow drying time.
Unsurprisingly, the gentle nature of this brush proved popular among parents of young children too, who needed a product that would glide through their little ones’ hair. As a result, The Baby Belle was born – a smaller version of the Belle Brush Original, with the addition of a fully flexible head to ensure the softest of applications. Its compact size makes this brush the ideal travel companion or perfect for bringing in your handbag. I can honestly say that having the mini version has been a game changer for me. It mean that my hair care is consistent and not as much of a chore.
The Scalp brush is one that I use in the shower. It replaces the scalp massge in the salon. The clips in the range are so nice to keep the flyaways off your face when applying make up. The bobbins are perfect for tying your hair up during the day or when you are sleepoing. They are sift and don’t leave the tell tale ring around the hair. It obviously helps that they don’t snag and look ultra cute too.
Today, the 9 product-range has expanded considerably, to include blow dry brushes, a backcombing brush, scalp brush, silk bobbins, hair clips and silk pillowcases.
Created by experienced extensionists, this brand truly is in a league of its own in terms of functionality, innovation and of course, design. Prices start at just €8.99, with the luxurious mulberry silk pillowcase retailing at €59.99.
