Hairbrush stash

An ordinary brush with a secret

The hairbrush stash is designed to look completely unremarkable in any setting. It is a round brush like the one you would find in almost any bathroom, with sturdy plastic bristles that genuinely detangle and style hair. Only once you unscrew the handle does it become clear that the core of the brush is hollow and doubles as a storage space. Products like this, often called diversion safes, are popular with people who prefer not to keep small items in plain sight, whether in a shared household, a student room, or simply a crowded bathroom cabinet everyone rummages through.

Use and care

You open the storage compartment by unscrewing the handle from the brush head. The space inside is limited, so it suits small, flat or rolled items rather than large or fragile ones. Because the brush genuinely looks and functions like a normal one, you can simply leave it standing among your other toiletries without drawing attention. Wipe the outside clean with a damp cloth now and then; the compartment itself only needs emptying whenever you choose to. Keep the brush dry so the threaded handle keeps turning smoothly.

Specifications

The hairbrush stash ships in a random colour; you cannot select a specific colour when ordering. The shape is round, and the handle fully conceals the storage compartment until it is unscrewed. Dutch-Smart carries several other everyday objects with a hidden compartment in its stash range, such as tins and pens with a false bottom, for anyone looking for a different shape or size.
