The best eco-friendly hair brushes

This four-piece set includes a large paddle brush, a mini brush for travel or children, a wide-tooth comb, and a skinny tail comb. Made from 100% natural bamboo, with a wooden handle designed to make it comfortable for you to hold, the paddle brush will make your hairstyling days a breeze. It will help your hair look shiny, and with its large paddle, it will allow you to brush your hair smoothly, while giving it a mini hair massage; one customer said: "Very sturdy set of wooden hair brushes and combs. They are very comfortable to use and definitely more than worth the price."

Now, if you’re looking for something to comb through your bouncy curls, then this is for you. The URTHEONE boar bristle hair brush is made of natural boar bristles (70 per cent) and detangling nylon pins. It easily brushes through fine, normal, thick, and coarse hair, and those stubborn knots; one reviewer said: "This hairbrush is such an amazing upgrade from my previous one, which is more expensive than this one. I have quite thick long hair, and this brush helps untangle those knots. My previous one ripped apart in my tangles, while this one doesn't have a problem with my hair. My partner has thicker hair and he found it a little harsh on his scalp, while I on the other hand found it very comfortable. It came with a comb for wet hair and a brow brush too which is absolutely amazing for the price."

If you've got fine hair, the last thing you want is a hair brush that causes hair breakage due to its harsh material. This soft bristle hair brush is created with bent bristles and a wooden paddle that is kind to your scalp. The bowed bristle spikes are especially designed to detangle curly, kinky, and wavy hair without causing breakage, and leaving your hair looking healthy; one customer review said: "I love this so much. The quality is great and seems like a product that will last me years, and I’ve noticed so much less breakage! It’s great for your hair to use a wooden brush so I happy I found a good quality one at a cheaper price."

This quality baby and toddler brush is made from naturally treated FSC-certified beech wood with an ergonomic handle. It has super soft natural goat hair bristles and hasn't been made with any harsh chemicals, making it extra safe for you and your baby; one reviewer said: "Really soft! We have been using it for the last two months and it keeps the soft sensation to the touch. We haven't found any issues so far and it is still as good as the first day (fingers crossed)."

Although this brush doesn't come with a brush holder, it has a curved bamboo handle, and a hole on the end of handle for hanging storage, which means you won't have to worry about dropping it on the floor, and will keep your hair healthy, soft, and tangle-free; one review said: "I love styling my girls' hair with these two as helps straighten/smooth hair out after a bath. Thank you for the additional hair band and brow brush, very happy customer!" It comes in a set with a skinny tail comb, too, which is great for teasing and detangling.

If you're looking for something with a brush pouch, then you might want to opt for the Kokoso Baby Wooden Brush (below) instead.

With no synthetic materials or low-priced plastic bristles, this brush is made from quality beech wood and natural boar bristles, which will help your little one's brush last longer. It's the perfect newborn hair brush and also comes with a protect keep-sake pouch, so you can brush baby’s hair wherever you go.

It's also a great brush to use for toddlers who aren't keen on having their hair brushed; one reviewer said: "My 3 year old hates having her hair brushed and kicked up a fuss every time she saw a normal hair brush. Gave this one a try after some advice and we can finally brush her hair without a scrap ensuing. She even wants to do it herself."

Suitable for all hair types and great for travel, the metal combs encourage a massage-like feel, which helps to calm your scalp, allowing loose hair strands to be removed, making your hair stronger and improving the power to grow new hair; one reviewer said: "I have long and very curly hair. Detangling is always my least favourite thing to do but it's something I can't skip unfortunately. I have invested money in so many hair brushes but I feel like I will stick with this one. It was the easiest detangling in my life so far. It did not hurt at all, it did not pull out half of my hair and it did not leave my scalp hurting, also it was the quickest as usually it takes me almost an hour to sort out my hair. The other pro is the shape of the brush, it's so comfy and easy to use."

Now, this is what you call a game changer. This hair brush has ultra-soft bristles, making it soft and comfortable for when brush your hair for those special events, or for bedtime - and it comes in a set of two. With this brush, you’ll be saying goodbye to split ends and hair breakage, giving you healthy hair.

The stiff but bendy ball-tip nylon pins are able to glide through long thick hair, giving you peace of mind; one customer said: "I always get knots in my hair, as it’s thick and naturally wavy, so I decided to get a brush like this and I’m actually amazed at how good it is. It doesn’t hurt your head for a start and practically glides through the knots and untangles with ease. I love the fact there’s two in the box and they come in both of my favourite colours. I highly recommend this set, they are the best I’ve ever used in my 40 years of life on earth."
