How it's used
While 髮刷 is the standard term for a hairbrush, many locals simply use the English loanword brush or describe it by its function. It is specifically used for styling or detangling hair, distinguishing it from a comb, which is referred to as 梳.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 梳, which is a flat comb. Using 髮刷 to refer to a simple pocket comb will sound unnatural to native speakers.
