Fabcare
Hairbrush

The organic hairbrush with wild boar bristles from FABCARE offers an innovative solution for effortless detangling without pulling and tugging. Thanks to the double spiral, the brush glides gently through the hair and gently detangles knots. The brush consists of 70 percent wheat straw and is equipped with long-lasting boar bristles. These distribute the natural oils evenly through the hair, creating more shine and volume. Thanks to its flexibility and the natural boar bristles, the brush adapts to the shape of the head and forms a combination with the integrated nylon bristles which, like a pleasant massage, promotes blood circulation to the scalp and at the same time stimulates hair growth. This unique combination makes it possible to adapt the brush individually to different hair types and improve the overall hair structure. Whether dry or wet, the Detangler brush is versatile and ideal for both hair conditions. The hairbrush from Fabcare delivers what it promises, is suitable for both men and women and ensures a pleasant brushing experience.

Advantages

✅ Radiant shine thanks to wild boar bristles
✅ Promotes blood circulation to the scalp
✅ Can be used in a variety of ways
✅ Free e-book as a bonus

Disadvantages

❌ no size and color variations

❌ Loses a lot of boar bristles at the beginning


The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The packaging makes a very good impression at first glance. The sustainability is particularly positive, as only recyclable and renewable materials such as paper and cardboard were used for the shipping carton. The compact design of the packaging helps to minimize waste and leaves no room for superfluous packaging material or unnecessary advertising flyers. There are no instructions for use as the product is self-explanatory.

The contents of the packaging are complete, in perfect condition and meet expectations. A positive highlight is the QR code on the back of the packaging, which contains a free e-book with hair care tips and recipes.

*The maximum score is 100 points

In our practical test, the FABCARE organic hairbrush proved to be extremely effective in many respects. Its ability to gently and painlessly detangle the hair ensures a pleasant brushing experience without tugging and pulling. In addition, it has a remarkable effect on the hair by evenly distributing natural oils, resulting in improved hair texture with more shine and volume. The ecological approach by using wheat straw and wild boar bristles underlines its contribution to environmental protection and makes it an eco-friendly alternative in the hair care segment.
The versatility of the brush for different hair types and its ability to smooth the hair during blow-drying and give it a silky texture underline its functionality. However, thin hair may become slightly tangled. The comfort aspect is evident in the flexibility on both dry and wet hair and the natural bristles, which are not only comfortable when brushing but also provide a soothing head massage.
Despite their impressive performance, parts of the boar bristles have been found to wear out. This wear can affect the overall lifespan of the brush and affect the quality over a longer period of time. It is recommended to examine the durability and quality of the bristles more closely and possibly make material improvements in order to increase the service life and maintain the very good quality of the brush.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

Price / performance ratioVery good performance in the mid-price segment80 points
Rating cut4.6 out of 5.0 on Amazon80 points
Total80 points
Weighting: 15%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. A common complaint is that the boar bristles are not stable enough and fall out. Many customers like the fact that knots can be removed easily and painlessly and that the hair feels pleasantly soft afterwards. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the brush unfortunately loses a lot of bristles at the beginning, but achieves very good results when used.

Prices of up to €33.95 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €6.97 . The Fabcare hairbrush is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €9.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is reasonable.
