Hairbrushes with natural bristles have been preferred for centuries. The bristles that are used in the Fuchs brushes are humanely shorn from farm-raised animals, like wool is sheared from sheep. Fuchs Hairbrushes are made from non-endangered woods, beautifully durable and smooth to the touch. Carefully crafted for years of use, with natural bristles and nylon quills set in a pneumatic rubber cushion. Wonderful on thick hair. Natural bristles distribute the natural oils from their origin in the scalp to the hair ends to keep your hair healthy. Pneumatic hairbrushes are ideal for use with longer or thicker hair. Besides adding luster, brushing with a fine Fuchs Hairbrush protects your hair from the elements that cause drying and splitting.
