Product Information

YOUR TURN: Arethere any other types of hair brushes or information I left out? What type of brush do you use, and why? Drop your thoughts in the comments section below! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 English brand Mason Pearson hasn’t changed its cult-classic Boar and Nylon Bristle brush since 1895 – a testament to its superb design. Mixing the finest premium-grade boar-bristle with nylon, the brush is exceptionally gentle on the hair and scalp, so it’s perfect for fine, delicate textures that are easily damaged. We start by taking note of the brush’s recommended usage – for dry or damp brushing, with or without a hairdryer. We confirm the materials from which the bristles are made, the dimensions of the tool and any colour options. In use, we assess how easily the brush passes through our hair and the time it takes to brush a full head of hair. We consider how well the tool removes knots and tangles, how the brush feels on the hair and scalp, the effect of the brush on any static or flyaways and how smooth the hair looks and feels after brushing. Nylon can also be effective and some tools mix both nylon with boar, like the Oribe Flat Brush. Plastic is okay, though it won't hold up as well and can cause added friction (and therefore added frizz) to strands. It has a mix of plastic and tufted, boar-style bristles on one half of the tool that you've come to expect with a hair-dryer brush. But on the sides of the oval-shaped tool are ceramic-coated teeth that heat up and really help smooth out my hair to give me a sleek look. Plus, I can use the dry mode afterward to get my hair even sleeker, all from one tool.

Adding a mousse to your routine before styling can help protect the hair from this less-than-perfect fate while adding an essential lifting effect. 7. Air drying versus blow-drying: Which is best? No matter what your goal is and what type of hair you have, I promise that there is a perfect brush out there. Up until a few years ago, I used only my trusty drugstore hair brush for everything with the belief that one-size-fits-all. But then I discovered that there are legit so many different types of hair brushes on the market (see: round brushes, paddle brushes, hair-straightening brushes, detangling brushes, etc.), and they all do something different. And no, you don't need a dozen styles of hair brushes, however, you should consider a few, or instead invest in one that can do the job of many, like my personal favorite, the boar-bristle brush that's great for all hair types. Make sure you're using maximum tension with the hair-dryer brush and move slowly down the shaft of your hair in a 'C' shape motion," says hairstylist Andrés Melendez. If you want extra volume near your face (hi, curtain bangs), direct sections of the hair out and away from the face. It will probably take you a few times to truly ~nail~ the technique, but trust, it gets easier. Choose the bristle type.We suggest using Suave Up The Volume Shampoo and Conditioner, both of which add weightless shine and lasting lift. 5. Keep conditioner away from your roots. The act of brushing also stimulates the capillaries and blood vessels on the scalp. This helps increase circulation to the area, which in turn increases how much oxygen reaches the hair follicles. It also boosts the flow of nutrients to the area. All of this is said to help with hair growth, strengthening the roots and reducing hair loss. Think about what styles you want to achieve with your hair-dryer brush, like a smooth blowout, major volume, or fluffy bangs. For bangs, you might want a round-brush style that's smaller in width (think around an inch) to help style short hairs. Volume, though, will require a wider round brush (between 1.5 and 2 inches).

For a more effective application, lift smaller portions of the hair at the roots and holding the dry shampoo perpendicular to your head. Spray each section accurately towards the scalp. There are no cutting corners here; the more time you spend on your coif, the fuller it will look. We suggest using Dove Refresh+Care Volume and Fullness Dry Shampoo as this product has built-in volume-enhancing qualities to aid you in your quest to more voluminous strands. 13. Thin and flat hair? Opt for a hair combo of classic styles. Ans: Flat hair brushes offer a stylish and straightened look to your short, medium or long hair. The brush's flat design eliminates frizz, prevents breakage, detangles and smoothes the hair. Though it's something we reach for on a daily basis, most people don't spend a lot of time considering the overall makeup of their hair brush. There's more to it than shape—round, oval, or rectangular, for example. When it comes to hair brushes and how well they detangle and style, the type of bristle—a synthetic material like nylon or a natural material like boar—matters, too. Hair rollers are a great way to boost the volume to prevent flat hair and body in your style. Start by blowdrying your hair to about 70% done. Then, add in your hair rollers to create and set your style. Remove your rollers once your hair is 100% dry. 15. Get to the root of the problem.

Tackle Flat Hair with Our Top Tips and Tricks

When you’ve spent time choosing the perfect colour and style for your hair, you’ll want the right brush, too. Different brush designs suit different hair types and can create different looks. When it comes to a brush, size matters. As with The Body Shop's Large Bamboo Hairbrush, bigger paddles and longer arms will ensure more coverage and comfortability when brushing long hair. On the other hand, smaller styles will be better for those with short hair (or those who are looking for a tool to use on the go). There's nothing that gets us more excited than a two-for-one styling deal, and this brilliant hair dryer brush from InStyler is at the top of our "need" list. Pop it to the open setting for a built-in flat iron (if you want to straighten or smooth frizz) or clamp it closed to create a heated round brush that can deliver glossy body, volume, and/or soft curls. It's well-suited for many hair types and textures, and it has four different heat settings that go up to 400°F. Since I cut my hair into a bob, I pretty much always wear it straight... but I legit despise having to blow dry, then flat iron my hair. Enter: Shark's SmoothStyle hair-dryer brush. It uses hot air to help dry my hair, just like all of the other blow-dryer brushes on this list, but the design of the bristles really lends itself to detangling, smoothing, and styling my hair.

First things first, this particular hair dryer brush is designed to be used on dry hair only, so make sure you let your hair completely air-dry or rough-dry with a dryer prior to use. It has a 1.25-inch barrel, which is the perfect size for creating lots of volume and body and hints of curl or wave. (It's easy and fun to customize your results!) Plus, it keeps the heat at a consistent 365°F, so there's minimal damage, and the cool tip means no burnt fingers. Wins all around! Plus, brushing spreads sebum to make your hair stronger (sounds disgusting, we know), and this can help with greasiness. What type of hairbrush should I use? Pros: Comes with a variety of attachments, great for touch-ups, great at creating a salon-level blowout Here’s our selection of the best hairbrushes, of various types and for all hair textures; read on to find the perfect brush for your style.

Its lightweight design makes it perfect for keeping in your handbag when you’re on the go, too – so if you’re treating yourself to just one hairbrush, the Wet Brush deserves to be top of your list. I'm aware that this is the most expensive hot brush out there, but I believe that the Dyson AirWrap is one of the best hair multi-stylers for creating bouncy blowdries at home whilst giving you the option to style your hair in many ways. It offers six different attachments, including a round brush—which is easily my favourite of the bunch—as well as two curling barrels for tighter curls, two paddle brushes for detangling and straightening lengths, and a blow-drying attachment. To lift the roots with a lasting finish, make sure you’ve invested in a hairdryer with more than one heat setting. Fine or damaged hair can be sensitive to high heat, so the best way to choose the optimum setting is by directing the hot air into the palm of your hand. If you’re comfortable having that temperature on your palm, it should be fine to use on your scalp.
