Brushes wear out. It’s not dramatic it’s just facts. Bent bristles, snagging, buildup you can’t scrub off… if your brush is limping along, your hair’s paying the price.
This tool figures out how long your brush should last based on how you use it, then lets you know if it’s time to say goodbye and what to replace it with if so. No guessing. No frizz.
“Most people wait way too long to replace their brush. You wouldn’t keep old mascara for a year why hold onto a scratchy, broken brush?”

Brush Replacement FAQ
How often should I replace my hairbrush?
It depends on the brush type, how often you use it, how you clean it, and what your hair’s like. This tool gives you a custom timeline based on all that.
What if my brush still “looks okay”?
If the bristles are bent, stiff, or missing or if it scratches your scalp it’s time to move on, even if it’s not falling apart yet.
Does it matter what kind of hair I have?
Yes. Curly and thick hair tends to be harder on brushes, so they wear out faster. We factor that in when calculating lifespan.
Will it tell me what to buy next?
Yep. You’ll get a fresh brush rec that fits your hair and how you style it and a link to grab it if you’re ready.
Don’t let an overworked hairbrush sabotage your style. Whether you’re detangling curls with a Denman, blow-drying with an Olivia Garden round brush, or smoothing strands with a Wet Brush or Pattern Beauty paddle, every tool has a shelf life. Buildup, bent bristles, and split ends are signs it’s time to replace your brush usually every 6–12 months depending on usage and hair type. Upgrading to a fresh brush reduces breakage, boosts shine, and keeps your scalp healthy. Don’t download nay ole care guide or use the any ole Brush Tracker, instead use this app to know when it’s time to swap, clean, or upgrade. Your hair deserves better than a busted bristle.
