A hairbrush includes a main body, a first set of bristles, a second set of bristles, and a handle extending from the main body. The main body has a shape allowing the bristles of the hairbrush to be disposed around the body. Preferably, the hairbrush will have bristle sockets or the like arranged along the main body permitting a plurality of bristles to be inserted into each of the sockets. The bristles of the first set of bristles are substantially longer than the bristles of the second set of bristles. Furthermore, the bristles of the first set of bristles and the bristles of the second set of bristles will be of a different type. The first set of bristles and the second set of bristles are arranged in a stacked helical pattern around the main body. In use, the first set of bristles reach to the scalp and lift strands of hair up from the scalp, and the second set of bristles then smooth these strands. The result is to produce volume and luxurious hair.
