Browse the Foxy collection below to find the best brush for your extensions.
A specialist hair extension brush helps detangle your hair without unnecessarily pulling or catching your attachment points. This makes everyday brushing gentler on both your extensions and natural hair.
Unlike many standard brushes, extension-friendly designs combine different bristles for different jobs. Round-ended nylon filaments move through the hair to loosen tangles. Boar bristles help smooth the hair while adding natural-looking shine.
The cushioned brush pad also helps distribute pressure more evenly across your scalp. This creates a softer, more comfortable brushing action around bonds, tapes, and other attachment points.
The design of your brush matters when you’re wearing extensions. A standard brush can catch, pull, or place unnecessary tension around attachment points. Foxy brushes combine extension-friendly features to make daily detangling gentler and more comfortable.
Boar bristles help smooth the hair cuticle and enhance natural-looking shine. They move gently across the hair rather than aggressively pulling through it.
This helps smooth flyaways and leaves your extensions looking more polished after brushing. They’re particularly useful for finishing the lengths once larger tangles have been removed.
Round-ended nylon filaments help separate and detangle the hair without unnecessary snagging. They can move through the lengths while remaining gentle around extension attachment points.
Their longer design also helps the brush reach through thicker sections of hair. This makes everyday detangling easier when you’re wearing added length or volume.
Working gradually from the ends upwards can further reduce pulling on your extensions.
A soft rubber cushion helps distribute pressure more evenly as you brush. The flexible base allows the bristles to respond to the movement of your hair.
This creates a softer brushing action than a rigid brush design. It can also make brushing more comfortable around the scalp, bonds, tapes, and rings.
An ergonomic handle gives you greater control while brushing and detangling your extensions. A secure grip makes it easier to work through smaller sections without rushing or pulling.
The anti-static wooden design also helps reduce unwanted static while brushing. This can leave the hair looking smoother and easier to manage afterwards.
Together, these features create a hair extension brush designed around the needs of extension wearers. Boar bristles smooth, nylon filaments detangle, and the cushioned base helps control pressure.
The result is a brush you can use as part of your everyday routine. It helps keep extensions smooth and manageable while taking greater care around their attachment points.
Brush hair extensions gently from the ends upwards to reduce pulling and protect the attachment points. The right technique is just as important as choosing a suitable hair extension brush.
Follow these simple steps as part of your daily routine:
For stubborn tangles, a small amount of hair serum can help reduce friction through the lengths and ends. Avoid applying it directly onto your attachment points.
Good brushing habits continue at night too. Once your hair is completely dry, gently detangle it before bed. Secure it in a loose braid with a silk scrunchie to help reduce overnight tangling.
Regular, gentle brushing helps prevent small tangles from developing into harder knots. It also keeps longer extensions smooth, manageable, and ready for styling.
The right tool depends on what you’re doing with your extensions. You might be detangling your everyday style, preparing for blow-drying, or tackling knots gently.
Our collection gives you three practical options for different stages of your hair extension care routine.
Our Soft Bristle Hair Extension Brush is designed for gentle, everyday brushing. Its paddle-style design combines a cushioned base with soft bristles in different lengths.
The bristles glide through natural hair and extensions without unnecessary snagging or tugging. This makes it ideal for regular detangling while taking care around your extension attachment points.
Start at the ends and gradually work towards the roots. This helps remove tangles without pulling your brush through the entire length at once.
A wide tooth comb gives you greater control when working through individual sections of your extensions. The wider spacing between the teeth helps separate the hair without aggressive brushing.
It’s particularly useful when you want to tackle tangles gradually before using your main extension brush. Work through smaller sections and always begin at the ends before moving upwards.
Our Hair Extension Blowdry Brush is designed specifically for styling extensions while drying them. Its 53mm thermal ceramic barrel heats quickly and distributes heat during your blow-dry.
This can help reduce overall drying time and limit unnecessary heat exposure. Its nanotechnology bristles also help reduce static and frizz while enhancing shine.
Use it after gently detangling your extensions with the wide tooth comb. Section the hair into manageable rows, then use the ceramic brush to shape and smooth each section.
Whether you’re detangling, smoothing or blow-drying hair extensions, choosing the right tool makes everyday care easier. Browse the Foxy collection and choose the brush or comb that best suits your routine.
Hair extensions should usually be brushed gently several times throughout the day to prevent tangles from building up. A good routine is to brush them in the morning, before bed, and whenever they become tangled.
Regular brushing is especially useful with longer or fuller extensions. Small tangles are much easier to manage before they develop into larger knots.
Always use a suitable brush for hair extensions and start at the ends. Gradually work upwards while supporting the hair near your attachment points.
Don't overbrush or use unnecessary force. The aim is simply to keep the lengths separated, smooth, and manageable throughout the day.
Clean your hair extension brush regularly by removing trapped hair and product build-up from between the bristles. Keeping your brush clean prevents old hair, oils, and styling residue from being repeatedly transferred onto your extensions.
Start by carefully removing loose hair from the brush after use. Pay particular attention to hair wrapped around the base of the bristles.
The correct deeper-cleaning method depends on the brush materials. Wooden handles, cushioned bases, and specialist bristles shouldn't automatically be soaked in water.
Yes, tape-in, nano ring and bonded hair extensions can all be brushed, but you should take care around their attachment points. The exact technique varies slightly depending on the extension method.
For tapes, avoid repeatedly dragging a brush directly across the adhesive tabs. With nano rings, take care not to catch the brush around individual rings. Keratin bonds also require gentle brushing around the root area.
Whichever method you wear, support the hair close to the attachment points. Then gently detangle from the ends upwards.
Using a specialist hair extension detangling brush gives you greater control and helps make everyday brushing easier.
You can reduce static and frizz by brushing extensions gently and keeping the lengths properly moisturised. Dry hair is often harder to manage and may appear less smooth after brushing.
A simple routine can help:
Foxy's Hair Extension Blowdry Brush can also help during styling. Its nanotechnology bristles are designed to help reduce static and frizz while enhancing shine.
