Beech wood & engraved signature · Essential Brush
BUR BUR Handcrafted in Korea
That soft-hair feeling. Start here.
A smoother finish. A little more shine. Boar bristles carry natural oils through the lengths as nylon pins ease through tangles. Then there’s the hand-polished wood, the flowing grain, the engraved signature. A brush you’ll enjoy long after the first stroke.
For medium to thick hair. For the pleasure of brushing.
Make it my daily brushTwo bristles, working together
Nylon pins help release tangles; boar bristles smooth the lengths. Begin at the ends, then enjoy a few slow strokes from the scalp.
Craft you can feel
Beech wood, shaped and polished by hand in Korea. The grain, the curved handle, the engraved BUR BUR signature—every touch is a pleasure.

About this piece
The everyday shine brush
Before serums and glosses, there was the boar bristle brush. It is still one of the simplest ways to make hair look healthier.
BUR BUR The Mermaid Essential Boar Bristle Brush combines ethically sourced boar bristles with nylon pins. The boar bristles carry the scalp's natural oils down the lengths for shine and smoothness, while the nylon pins detangle gently and reach through to the scalp.
Each brush is handcrafted in Korea, with a beech wood handle polished and refined by hand and coated in an eco-friendly finish.
Who It's For
- Medium to thick hair
- Hair that looks dull or frizzy
- Dry lengths with an oilier scalp: the bristles help balance the two
- Everyday smoothing and styling on dry hair
- Anyone who wants a beautiful, long-lasting brush
Details
- Bristles: Ethically sourced boar bristles with nylon pins
- Handle: Beech wood, hand-polished, eco-friendly finish
- Cushion pad: Natural and synthetic rubber blend for flexibility and durability
- Origin: Handcrafted in Korea
How to Use
- Use on dry hair.
- Start at the ends to release any knots, then work up toward the roots.
- Once detangled, brush from scalp to ends with long, slow strokes to distribute natural oils.
- For wet hair, use The Mermaid Wet Detangling Brush instead.
Care
Remove hair from the brush regularly. Wash the bristles gently with a little shampoo and lukewarm water, keeping the wood handle dry, then let it dry bristles-down. Avoid soaking the brush.
Loshen & Crem's Recommendation
A boar bristle brush works best on clean, dry hair as a finishing step. A few minutes of slow brushing in the evening is an old-fashioned ritual that still works beautifully: it smooths the cuticle and adds a natural shine no product can fake.
If you mostly need to detangle, or your hair is fine, choose The Mermaid Wet Detangling Brush. For travel, there is The Mermaid Mini.
