The Brush No. 001

"A forever brush. Smoother hair, less frizz, and it looks gorgeous."

Our take
$118 Price at Sephora, checked Nov 2026.
The short answer

Yes if you want a quality brush you'll keep for years. Dual boar and nylon bristles smooth hair and spread oils from roots to ends. It's an investment piece, not an essential. If your hair is very thick or curly, a detangling brush may suit you better.
