Promising reviews: "I like this a lot, I got it as this specific type of brush was recommended for thin fine hair like mine. It's gentle. I still sometimes use a vent brush for a quick fluff. This is a little more substantial but still moves easily through your hair." —expert

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three sizes and 21 colors).

Promising review: "I have long, fine hair that tangles constantly and this brush is the best. I personally don’t care for wet brushes because I feel

Like they don’t really get the knots out but this brush’s long and strong bristles get through. I have been using this brush for over 20 years and was worried when I read some reviews that stated it wasn’t the same good quality, but that’s not true. This brush is the same good quality hair brush that it has always been." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $8.

Promising review: "Seems to reduce tangles when blow drying. Gentle on hair. It facilitates drying hair without pulling hair too much like some other brushes. My hair seems to look healthier after blow-drying with this brush. I have a lot of hair that is fine and wavy/curly and prone to constant tangles. The cork handle is ergonomic and easy to hold. Pretty brush too." —JS

Get it from Amazon for $46+ (available in four sizes).

This brush is also anti-static and heat resistant up to 175 degrees.

Promising reviews: "I wasn’t sure about this brush when I ordered it, but I am beyond pleasantly surprised. It works great on my fine hair, wet or dry. And it feels amazing on the scalp. No pull so no hair loss from brushing. Had to order one for my husband! Even our 2-year-old granddaughter likes it! Great product!" —marcia johnston

"I didn’t realize how much I’d love this. I don’t use a regular brush much anymore. I have long full wavy fine hair and only wash it every few days. I also use this when my hair is wet and for shampooing. It feels great on my scalp. I would definitely recommend for anyone with long hair." —kelly

Get it from Amazon for $35 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "I have very long (to my butt) but fine and naturally curly/wavy hair when wet. It tangles a ton and it is normally impossible to untangle after washing or getting highlights at the salon. My hairdresser used this brush on me the last time I went and it was like magic. No pulling, no tangling. It works in wet or dry hair. Highly recommend!!" —K. Miller

Get it from Amazon for $13.75+ (available in a variety of colors, styles for different hair types, and multi-packs).

Promising reviews: "Where has this been all my life? I have very fine, but not thin, hair. When it's dry it won't hold curl or styling without a ton of product, but when it's wet.... a rat's nest. Even when using conditioner, my hair would tangle so badly. It would take forever to comb through it after washing, and I hated it. Those days are happily in my past. This brush detangles without pulling my hair out! I should probably buy a few more so I have them as backups." —lala

"I purchased this brush three weeks ago and have used it every day. I like the brush so much I ordered three more for my adult daughters. Not only is the brush gentle on my gray hair, but it also feels like I am giving myself a head massage. Also, I appreciate the wide-hand base design. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it is not always easy to grip an ordinary hairbrush. Plus, the brush is easy to clean. It truly glides through my wet hair." —ANS

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes, 10 colors, and two-packs).

Promising review: "I am very pleased with this hair dryer. Gives great volume to my fine, thinning, hair with minimum effort. I have always been fan of Revlon hair products and this one did not disappoint!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is a life-changing paddle brush! If you were blessed with frizzy and unruly hair that you prefer to style and iron into submission as I do, this brush will help you create a smooth and glossy finish. The brush creates a beautiful blowout and has significantly cut down on the time it took me to dry my hair using a round brush, which only added to the static and frizz. It has a velvety finish which feels great in the hand, is not too heavy, and seems like it will hold up for years to come. It was a bit pricey for a brush, but so far it has been well worth it and I couldn't be happier with the purchase." —M. Madsen

Get it from Amazon for $35 (also available in a mini version).

Promising review: "To even put into writing that I spent over $20 on a hairbrush, let alone over $100, feels absolutely bananas. BUT I am a convert to this brush! The reason I decided to go for it is because I’ve been noticing so much more breakage and shedding with my hair lately, and I was willing to try anything to help. I have very fine, medium-length, wavy hair that’s prone to breakage and split ends. I have to wash every other day, using dry shampoo on the off day, or else I look like a total greaseball. This brush gives my hair life on a normally limp and lusterless day two! It really helps distribute oil from my scalp to my ends and helps tame flyaways. I can’t say yet whether it’s worth the steep price, but it is certainly the best brush I’ve ever used, and I’ve noticed so much less shedding (especially if I brush my hair out with this before I shower and wash it). Although the price tag hurts, I’m thinking of it as a long-term investment in healthy hair!" —picksair

Get it from Nordstrom for $160.

Promising review: "I bought this set of brushes for my 10-year-old daughter and she LOVES them! She said they are the best brushes she’s had. The brushes are excellent for detangling fine hair and are super comfortable on the scalp. She has one in the bathroom and the smaller one fits great in her purse for on-the-go styling." —Carrie Seibert

Get it from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in two versions).

Promising review: "I am 76 with very fine and now thinning hair. I have always back-combed with a comb for some lift. It just did not give me what I was looking for. I'd fill in sparse spots with hair fibers. I decided to use a brush when I had a flashback to my high school days. I am thrilled. This brush does a quick and so much better job than a comb. The coverage of the thinning spots is amazing. I now use far fewer hair fibers and can quickly fix my hair. I wish I had tried this years ago. But better late than never. PS: I went to a class of '66 event and got tons of compliments from classmates on how much they loved my hair!" —O-L-S

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

Promising reviews: "I got put onto the Wet Brush brand a few years ago and they have made such a difference in my hair care. I have very fine thin hair that can tangle and break easily, so having a brush that no matter how vigorous I am with it will not harm my hair is just amazing. I love the small ones for my purse or around my house if I get a random tangle and the cute designs are just my style as I prefer designs over plain ones." —Sakuno-chan

"This brush is great for long hair for kids with sensitive heads. If you use it while the hair is wet and let the hair air dry it is much easier to brush in the a.m.!" —Lauren Carney

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 18 styles and a range of brush types).

Promising review: "We just received this brush and after brushing both mine and my daughter’s hair, I immediately went and ordered her her own. It’s so good! We both have straight, fine hair that gets easily tangled and this brush is magic! My daughter has a pretty sensitive scalp and she didn’t complain!" —Rob B

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 13 colors and multi packs).

Promising review: "Being a Southern Girl I love big hair, even though my hair does not tease easily. I have fine, thin hair and I have really loved this brush (and found myself wondering why I waited so long to buy one). I am able to achieve lovely volume without any visible to my fine hair. The pointed end is great for sectioning your hair and the bristles are also good for smoothing out the top of your teased hair. I use this brush for curling my hair in addition to teasing, so I've been surprised at how much I've used it. I am able to separate the sections out and brush them smooth before curling my hair. I then go back and use the pointed handle to pull layers and tease, smoothing the top back out with the brush. It has really worked well and doesn't pull the curl back out of my hair. I would highly recommend this brush, you'll be surprised how much you use it! (In fact, I may need a second one for my purse...)" —SouthernDame

Get it from Amazon for $9.97.

Promising review: "I have a lot of very fine hair, so I'm prone to a lot of shedding. I've found that with this brush there's a lot less of that happening. My only caveat is that it's really annoying and time consuming to clean. Otherwise, love it." —CosiK

Get it from Sephora for $28.
