The Perfect Brush

How to choose a hair brush, some girls stumble upon the perfect one by accident, super-lucky ones have a BFF hair stylist and don’t even have to worry about it, yet I’m sure there are a few of you out there who still feel like they are missing something and believe your styling routine can be improved. That’s why I had to come up with a list of tips to help make the process of choosing a hair brush even easier! 

A Cushion or Paddle Brush– all you’ll need to do is take your pick between a paddle and a cushion brush! Large and flat, paddle brush will help you detangle your long, straight tresses in no-time while an oval-shaped cushion brush works best for medium-length hair with a bit of wave or curl.

Thick, wavy or curly hair absolutely loves boar bristles, which is something you should definitely have in mind when choosing a hair brush! Boar bristles will help you manage your voluptuous tresses, detangle them perfectly without damage and will also help distribute essential oils from your scalp all the way to the ends promoting health and strength of your hair. 

  Vent Brush cut drying time in half. Choose a rectangular vent brush in case your hair is mostly straight as is and doesn’t really need that much of heat or styling to look absolutely perfect. Designed to maximize hot air circulation, lighter and much easier to use than a round brush this brush will help you style and dry your tresses much faster and better than usual!

  So NO to Plastic!  But in case boar bristles aren’t your hair’s favorite, you should definitely give nylon brushes a shot! Hair stylists agree nylon bristles are suitable for virtually all hair types as they don’t only help remove electric charge but glide between the strands easily without causing damage even advising you to take a step further and take the best of both worlds – a brush made with both boar and nylon bristles.

  My Fav, Round Brush.  If your my client, you know that a round brush is always used to give you that flawless, professional-looking blowout. May I suggest a round hair brush or two? Better make it two as having a smaller one to help you straighten hair close to your scalp and a bigger one to make sure the rest of your length gets the same treatment is generally considered best! Choose a medium-sized round brush in case your hair is of medium length or go for a jumbo one if there’s a lot of length to work on. Ceramic or tourmaline vented brushes are best for straightening thick, voluminous hair while a standard round brush does it best for thinner manes.

If teasing you hair for volume is your thing, then you need a teasing boar bristle brush. This amazing tool will help you achieve that impressive volume while reducing the amount of damage and stress your hair has to suffer.

Last on my tips on how to choose a hair brush is for all of you girls whose hair tends to put up a real fight during blowouts, either refusing to get straight or deciding frizz and flyaways are the best ways to thank you for your efforts. You should get yourself a round brush as well but, instead of purchasing a regular one like you always do, go for an hourglass- shaped one in the preferred size. This highly useful shape formed by the rows of longer bristles on top and bottom and a short-bristled center will prove to be a perfect no-slip surface for your hair, allowing you to really do each section perfectly without it slipping off the brush and turning all frizzy!
