Päronträ militärhårborste £50 - D R Harris London

The bristles are properly stiff—my first brush through thick hair felt like it actually got to the scalp instead of skimming the surface. The pearwood has a subtle dusty pink tint that looks far more expensive than it has any right to at this price.

The rose-pink tone of the wood is even prettier in person, and the dense grain feels solid in the hand. It cuts through my coarse hair without snagging, which says a lot for a stiff natural brush.

The bristles are definitely stiff, but they glide through my thick hair without snagging, and the dusty pink-brown wood looks far more elegant in person than in the photos. It feels solid and well-balanced in my hand, so brushing is actually a pleasant part of my morning routine now.
