Hair Brushes & Combs Australia | Shop at SSS Hair

Every great styling routine relies on two tools that rarely get enough credit: the right hair brush and the right comb. At SSS Hair, we stock one of Australia's widest ranges of hair brushes and hair combs, from the legendary Mason Pearson brush and pure boar bristle brush collection to the cult-favourite Bondi Boost thermal brush, wet brush, precision tail combs and full sets of Wahl clipper combs. Whether you need a round brush for a blow-dry or Wahl guide combs for a clean trim at home, our team has curated the tools stylists actually use.

What Type of Hair Brush Is Best for My Hair?

The best hairbrush for you depends on your hair type. Fine or normal hair generally responds well to a boar bristle hair brush, which distributes natural oils from scalp to tip for added shine. Thick, curly or coily hair usually needs a detangling hair brush or wet hair brush, both built with flexible bristles that glide through knots with minimal breakage. Chasing bouncy curls? A curl brush or curl defining brush separates and shapes ringlets, while a paddle brush is best for everyday smoothing on long or thick hair.

What Type of Comb Should I Use for My Hair?

A good comb is just as important as a good brush, and hair combs Australia-wide come in far more variety than most people realise. A tail comb features a fine, pointed handle ideal for sectioning hair during colouring or braiding, while a wide-tooth comb is gentler on wet or curly hair, reducing breakage during detangling. Fine-tooth combs suit sleek, polished finishes and precise partings. Our Combs range covers all of these styles, so you can build a complete kit alongside your brushes.

Boar Bristle vs Wet Brush vs Detangler – Which Brush Should You Choose?

A boar bristle brush is prized for conditioning and shine, making it a favourite for daily brushing and scalp stimulation. A wet brush or detangler brush, on the other hand, is engineered with flexible, teeth-like bristles that work through tangles in damp hair without tugging at the root. If you want the best of both, many stylists keep a bristle brush for styling days and a dedicated wet brush for the shower.

Wahl Clipper Combs, Guide Combs & Replacement Combs Explained

If you're grooming at home, Wahl combs are essential for any clipper or trimmer kit. Wahl guide combs, also called attachment combs, clip onto the blade and set your cut length, so a full set of Wahl attachment combs gives you every length option in one kit. Lost or worn one? We stock Wahl replacement combs to match most models, plus Wahl beard trimmer combs, Wahl trimmer combs and Wahl t blade combs for detailing and edging.

Round Brush, Paddle Brush or Vent Brush – What's the Difference?

A round hair brush is essential for adding volume, curl and shape while blow-drying, with barrel size determining how tight the resulting curl will be. A paddle brush has a flat, wide head perfect for smoothing longer hair, while a vent brush has an open-back design that speeds up drying by letting airflow pass through the bristles. For root lift and backcombing, reach for one of our teasing brushes.

Wahl Guide Comb Sizes – Which Size Do I Need?

Wahl guide comb sizes typically range from a close #0.5 trim through to a longer #8, with each size adding roughly an eighth of an inch of length. Barbers commonly reach for a #1 or #2 for a short, tapered look, a #4 for a classic all-over trim, and a #6 or higher for low-maintenance styles. Shopping Wahl clipper combs Australia-wide has never been easier, with guide, attachment and replacement combs to suit most popular Wahl clippers and trimmers.

Are Hot Brushes and Straightening Brushes Worth It?

A hot brush, like the Bondi Boost blowout brush, Bondi Boost infrared bounce brush or mermade blow dry brush, combines heat styling with brushing in one step, giving you smoother, straighter or bouncier hair faster than a blow-dry. A hair straightener brush or straightening brush works similarly, using ceramic plates built into the bristles to tame frizz with less heat damage than a flat iron. Explore our Hot Brushes and Straightening Brushes ranges from Bondi Boost, GHD and more.
