A hairbrush works well on short, long, both thin & thick, wet or dry, curly or straight hair and with a brush, you can achieve the desired look easily.

There is no scientific evidence which is better, but you can get an idea from your own experience. Just try out both brush & comb and check which goes smooth like butter through your hair without breaking your hair and resistance. Hairbrushes are more likely to break off long strands of hair, while combs break off short strands of hair. Also, regardless of brush or comb, just be gentle on your hair. Have some patience while detangling a knot to prevent hair damage. Also, follow a healthy and right hair care routine to have shiny hair. "
