Just a simple little tutorial of how to install new brushes or brush sets 
EDIT: Updated with this little tid-bit from ~BlazingsNL-
"You can also put them in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Presets\Brushes\ and Photoshop will load them automatically for you"

Do you know if this process (as well as your hair brush set) will work in Photoshop elements?
just a question, to use these brushes our pen needs a program named "pen pressure" right? because I don't think mine has that 
Anyway cool tutorial

Some brushes to require pen pressure to function as intended. Pen pressure isn't a program its is a capability that some graphics tablets [link] have that senses how hard you are pressing on the pad and adjusts the size and opacity of the brush in photoshop accordingly.

Hope that helps

Yes if you get a pen and tablet with pressure sensitivity you'll be able to use more functions of many brushes as well as adding it to brushes that dont already use it for some cool effects.
I'd recommend the Wacom Bamboo Fun for a first tablet. Its the cheapest of their range but is very good for a starter.

(I have the bamboo fun which has served me well for over a year now but I think they've made the basic bamboo better so not sure which is the best of the two)

No, as I say in the tutorial it wont.
If at any point you are asked if you want to replace current brushes choose 'Append brushes' (I can't recall if I disabled this pop up on mine so I'm not sure when this usually comes up. On mine it is only if you choose 'Replace' from the drop down.)

That is of course provide the brush is compatible with your version of photoshop, some brushes just won't show up!, other will show up, but won't load!
and still others yet I've found window wont let you put
them in the preset brush folder at all and they have to be installed into the sub folder photoshop creates in your user profile.. get this a lot also with patterns and texture files others make for use to.

Getting the right version is someones own responsibility though
