Best hairbrush for fine, thin hair?

I rarely brush my fine hair because I find that it makes it appear a bit frizzy (it's straight-ish with a very delicate wave). It's also rather thin thanks to hypothyroidism and peri-menopause. I've been wondering recently if actually brushing with the right brush would stimulate my scalp and improve my hair health? and possibly thickness? Does anyone have any recommendations?

I’m the same. My hair never recovered thickness, despite thyroxine, and now with peri I can actually see my scalp through the front of my hair!
I also have a slight wave. I wash my hair at night, spray this on and leave it to dry. My hair looks fantastic in the morning. It’s lovely and full with a bigger wave. I used my boots points so it was free but I’m watching to see if anyone recommends a magic brush.

Thank you for the recommendation for the B&B product. It sounds like we have identical hair so I will give it a go. I currently use Aveda's Be Curly range. I did try their thickening shampoo & spray but it left my hair matted and utterly rank and it actually began to snap off. My hairdresser told me that some of the thickening products are so protein-rich that they overload the hair and make it brittle so I've been wary of trying anything again.

It's horrible to live with hair like this and like you I can also see my scalp in places - especially where the hair is white. I have done some research into the brush but, as always, it seems somewhat contradictory with some people raving about natural bristles and others saying absolutely not & that plastic is the way to go. Trouble is, plastic causes so much static in my hair (unless it's wet, then I use a wide-tooth comb to ease out any tangles).
