Boar bristles
They travel along the surface of the hair, pick up the natural oil at the root and spread it toward the mid lengths and ends. These are what polish and bring shine.
Your scalp produces the best conditioner your hair will ever get. Burble is the tool that carries it all the way to the ends.
Your scalp produces oils that lubricate and protect the hair fibre. On long, thick, wavy or curly hair, those oils stay trapped near the top.
The result is the one you see in the mirror every morning: heavy, greasy looking roots and mid lengths and ends that are dry, porous and flat. It isn't a lack of product. It's a lack of distribution.
A plastic brush does one thing: it separates. Burble brings together four materials that work at the same time in every stroke.

Longer than the bristles. They reach between the sections, separate them and work out light knots without pulling.
A blend of natural and synthetic rubber. It gives under pressure and lets the pins follow the curve of your head instead of fighting it.
Solid wood with a natural protective finish. It gives the brush weight, balance and control in every stroke. Polished by hand.
When the fibre is ordered and lubricated, it reflects light evenly instead of scattering it. That is what the eye reads as shine.
The dense bristles also gather the loose hairs that lift out of a style, so frizz settles without any holding product. It is a cosmetic effect and you can see it from the very first uses.

The handle is turned from solid beechwood and sealed with a protective finish of natural origin. Every piece is sanded and refined by hand until the surface is smooth, comfortable and hard wearing.
That is why you will find small differences in tone, grain and texture from one brush to the next. They are not flaws. They are the proof that the wood is real and that no two pieces are identical.
The bristles are pure, ethically sourced boar, set into a cushion of natural and synthetic rubber. The assembly takes far longer than an injection moulded plastic brush, and you can feel it the moment you pick it up.
Best used on dry hair. You don't need a huge number of strokes.
If there are knots, free the ends first and work upward little by little. The brush should never be forced through a tangle.
On thick or heavy hair, part it into sections so the bristles and pins can reach more of the surface with every stroke.
From root to end, with moderate pressure. Five to ten strokes per section is enough to change the finish.

My hair is down to my waist and it was always the same story: greasy at the roots by day two, and ends that looked like they belonged to a different person. The bit about the oil never travelling down finally explained it. Three weeks of brushing at night and I've gone from washing every other day to twice a week. The shine really shows up in daylight.

I bought two, one for me and one for my daughter. It has a real weight in the hand, nothing about it feels cheap.

The shine is real and my frizz has dropped a lot. The only reason it isn't five stars: my hair is properly curly and this opens the curl right up, so I only use it on days I want it smoothed out. Worth knowing before you order if you wear your curls defined.

The shine I'd been chasing for years, and it turns out it wasn't a product, it was how I was brushing. I've stopped buying serums.

I hesitated a long time over the price, I won't pretend otherwise. I used to buy twelve dollar brushes and bin them every year once the pins started falling out. This one has been with me four months, still looks new, and my hair sits differently now, easier to work with. It has already worked out cheaper than replacing the old one.

I use it to smooth a ponytail and there isn't a single hair sticking up afterwards. I used to need wax for that and it left everything stiff.

With the humidity here frizz is a daily fight. It doesn't make it vanish, but my hair stays put and I've stopped leaving the house with that halo of flyaways.

No complaints about the brush itself, it's lovely. It just took longer to arrive than I expected and I'd ordered it for a wedding. Once it was in my hands I got over it quickly.

My hair is thick and heavy, the kind that doesn't cooperate. What surprised me wasn't the shine, it was the massage. Brushing stopped being a chore I rushed through in the morning. I do it at night sitting down and I finish calmer than I started. The wood is beautiful too, I leave it out on the dresser.
Use it every day for two months. If you don't see the difference in shine, in frizz or in how your hair feels, write to us and we'll refund you in full. Keep the brush.
