With so many hairbrushes on the market, how do you know which one is best for you - especially when you're wearing hair extensions? The right brush can enhance shine, prevent damage, and keep your extensions looking flawless.

At Gold Class, our range of professional-quality brushes is designed specifically to care for your natural hair and extensions alike.

Whether you're detangling, blow-drying, or styling, here's your ultimate guide to picking the perfect brush for every occasion:

For Wet Hair

Brushing wet hair is typically a 'no-no' - but using the right detangling comb makes all the difference.

We recommend our Gold Class Cutting Comb, which features both:

A wide-toothed section for initial detangling

Finer teeth to refine and prep hair for styling

Pro Tip: Always avoid brushing near the bonded areas of your extensions when wet. Hold your hair securely to prevent pulling or breakage.

For Blow Drying

Looking for that salon finish blow dry at home? We've got you covered.

Our Soft-Touch Italian Blow Dry Brush creates volume, bounce and seals the cuticle for extra shine - ideal for body and curls.

Prefer sleek or straight? Use the Gold Class Paddle Brush on a low to medium heat setting for smooth results with less stress on the bonds.

For Styling

Style your hair like a pro with our versatile styling tools:

The Deluxe Styling Brush helps shape hair and detangle all lengths with precision and ease.

Use the Dressing Comb and Pintail Comb for flawless sectioning, up-do's, and even backcombing to add volume.

For Daily Brushing

Regular brushing is key to maintaining healthy hair extensions.

I recommend brushing your hair at least four times a day to prevent matting and keep it looking its best - Inanch Emir, Gold Class Founder.

Our top picks for everyday care:

Paddle Brush - Ideal for medium to long extensions. A best seller and Hair Awards finalist.

Large Oval Brush - Luxurious, effective, and elegant for the dressing table.

Gold Brush - The ultimate indulgence for haircare lovers and style conscious clients.

Don't forget our handbag friendly brushes - perfect for touch up's on the go.

For Travel

Stay polished wherever you are:

Gold Class Extension Brush - A compact favourite with gentle bristles for all hair types.
Small Paddle Brush - Great for those with longer locks who love the paddle design.

Avoid...

❌ Brushes with bobbled bristle tips - they can snag and damage your bonds.

❌ Brushes with rigid, inflexible bristles - these can pull too hard on extensions.
