Unwritten On-the-go Styling Brush

A small, densely packed brush for the finishing stage of an up-style. It is the one you pick up once the hair is already detangled — brushing the surface smooth as you gather a ponytail or a bun, so nothing bumps or bubbles at the crown. Small enough to live in a toiletry bag or a purse.

What's in it

• FSC-certified timber — handle and body, from certified forestry.
• Ethically sourced boar bristles with plastic bristles — packed dense, which is what gives the tension for a clean, flat surface.

How to use it

Brush through the hair, then use it to smooth and gather the hair into your up-style. Unwritten suggest pairing it with their styling products for the sleekest result.

Who it's for

Anyone who wears their hair up often — ponytails, buns, pulled-back looks — and wants a brush that travels. It is a smoothing brush rather than a detangler: the dense bristles are exactly what makes it good on the surface and poor at working through knots, so use a cushion brush for that first.

Worth knowing

Keep it away from water — it damages the timber. Clean the bristles regularly with a comb or a brush cleaner.
