The only one you’ll ever need

This hairbrush blew me away. I was influenced by all the ads I started to see and my curiosity got the best of me. Comparing it to the iconic MP brush which, by the way, I couldn’t justify spending over $200 on, I decided to try the Bur Bur mini version. Although I could barely bring myself to spend $54 on a brush I realized I spent way more trying to find one that I love. Guys, I found THE ONE. I have thin hair and this one brought it back to life in just one pass through. The shine and smoothness that followed after brushing out my hair is amazing. Tangles? No problem. No rips or breakage. It feels great against my scalp and now I want to go back and get the standard size brush just to keep at home while I take the mini with me everywhere I go. I wouldn’t recommend a pricey product if it wasn’t worth it. It is definitely worth it.

just too small

Purchased the regular size first and loved it so much I thought I’d purchase the mini for my daughter. You guys- this brush is tiny tiny. I don’t think the pictures really show how small it is- like the size of an iPhone. I should’ve just purchased a 2nd regular size one.

love

I’ve purchased a $300 board hair brush and this Bur Bur brush crushes any brush I have ever had. I got the mini and the standard and now my daughter is getting the mini to keep in her bag. This brush never hurts or tangles and hair is smooth and feels much denser after brushing. I also use it before I shower to scrape and exfoliate my scalp. I’ve notice little to no hair loss since using for the past few months. ( my hair would constantly fall out in the shower every single day before this brush) also, the wood handle and color is just timeless and sophisticated.

Perfect Size!

This is the prefect size brush if you have small hands like me. The bigger size felt like a I was using a dog brush.... way too big. This brush is also travel friendly. Distributes your natural oil through your hair, leaving my hair non frizzy and tamed. Most importantly this brush gives no breakage.

Nothing wrong with brush

Nothing wrong with this brush, simply not the right brush for my straight thick hair. It doesn’t penetrate the thickness of my hair for blow drying and styling. Would like to return or exchange, but I no longer have original packaging

One brush to rule them all

Received the bur bur mini brush as a birthday gift and I can never go back to regular brushes. I even purchase the regular Size for the home and will take the mini for travel purposes. My hair felt so smooth after using the mini brush. Gave the scalp a little wakening/massage up as well. These will last a long time as well.
