The best hair product I own isn’t theDyson Airwrap.

It’s not a cult-favoriteAugustinus Bader shampoo.
It’s not even theGlamourBeauty AwardwinningSisley styling creamI dutifully use before blow-drying.
It’s actually a much more humble staple: ahairbrush.
But it’s not just any hairbrushit’s Yves Durif’s petite vented hairbrush.
I brush my hair once, sometimes twice, sometimes even three times a day.
I don’t really keep countI just know that I love the feeling.
It reminds me of when my mom would comb my waves as a little girl.
I’m not alone here in reveling in the practice of hair brushing.
Even 19th-century Impressionist artists like Edgar Degas were fascinated by the ritual of hair combing.
Degas painted this portrait of anude woman combing her hairand another one in which shehas her hair combed.
(We’re not just mindlessly brushing here; we’re savoring the moment and its many sensations.)
Sometimes I’ll even use it to comb throughleave-in conditionerwhen my hair is still wet.
This one rests comfortably in my palm and is a beaut resting on any nightstand or vanity.
All come in the brand’s signature ivory color and are housed in pretty velvet pouches.
We have it on good authority that furry friends love it too.
