ReneThat will depend on what property of the hairbrush you want to measure.
-- The length could best be measured with a ruler, and described
in units of centimeters.
-- The weight could best be measured with a scale, and described
in units of Newtons.
-- The mass could best be measured with the same scale, and with
the appropriate proportionality constant for the planet on which the
measurement is made, and described in units of grams.
I would use a scale to measure the weight of a hairbrush. Then, I would
describe its weight to others using units of ounces or newtons. Many folks
would stare blankly at these units, and I'd be forced to give them a number
in grams. This is an incorrect use of that unit, but it's difficult to hold back
the tide.

What unit is used to measure the mass of a feather?
grams because a feather would not be measured in kilograms
What units can be measured by mass?
Mass can be measured in units such as kilograms (kg), grams (g), pounds (lb), and ounces (oz).
Is a computer printer measured in grams or kilograms?
A computer printer is typically measured in kilograms due to its heavier weight. The weight of a printer can vary depending on the size and model, but it is usually more practical to use kilograms for measurement.
Would the weight of a scarf be in grams or kilograms?
The weight of a scarf can either be in grams or kilograms. The weight will most commonly, or almost always be, in grams because it is a more common measurement. Also scarves are usually not heavy enough for kilograms to be needed. But again, it all depends on the person doing the weighing.
