Using The Right Hairbrush Can Make All The Difference
Admin January 31 2023

Everyone seems to have a favorite hairbrush. You know the one you always reach for even though there are five others right beside it. But did you know that certain hairbrushes were designed to do a specific job or work best with a certain hair type? Round brushes, paddle brushes, vented brushes, natural or boar bristles- the choices could be clearer. The hairbrush you choose can make all the difference between a great hair day and a bad hair day. Today we will discuss the different types of hairbrushes to help you choose the right tools to create the hairstyles you want with ease.
The Round Hairbrush
If you’re styling your hair with a blow dryer and the goal is to create the volume you’ll want to reach for a round hairbrush. Choosing a wooden brush with natural bristles will give you a more gentle blowout with smooth sleek results, perfect for straightening your hair. A ceramic brush will heat up with the heat from the blow dryer and works well to create curling iron-style curls without the added step of using a curling iron. Ceramic brushes also work well for straightening. Choose a larger diameter brush for straightening or very loose waves and a smaller diameter for curly styles. Keep in mind that round brushes were designed for styling not detangling, so you’ll need to detangle your tresses before you start. And be careful with very long hair as they have a reputation for getting stuck.
The Paddle Hairbrush
When it comes to detangling your hair or brushing out a sleek, smooth hairstyle nothing compares to the paddle brush. The wide, flat design of the brush allows you to work through a large volume of hair in a shorter amount of time. Paddle brushes are a bit more versatile than round brushes as they can be used for styling as you blow dry as well as detangling, smoothing, and styling dry tresses, but you won’t get the same waves and curls you can create with round barrel brush.
The Vented Hairbrush
Vented brushes are just what they sound like, a hairbrush with vents in the body of the brush. They come in different shapes and sizes in paddle style or round. The purpose of the vents is to allow for much better airflow than a solid brush for a faster blow dry, and less time spent with heat the better for the health of your hair.
Which Bristles To Choose from, Natural or Synthetic
When choosing the right hairbrush there’s more to consider than just the size and shape of the brush. The materials that the hairbrush is made from make a difference as well.
Natural Bristles- These are gentle and provide great separation and lift for fine, thin strands with less breakage. They do an excellent job of evenly distributing your natural oils from root to tip.
Synthetic Bristles- These are made from plastic or nylon and are sturdier and produce less static which makes them a great choice for thick, coarse, or curly hair. The slicker bristles easily glide through touch knots and tangles.
Combination- A combination of both types of bristles makes for a great general-use brush that suits nearly anyone. Look for wider-spaced bristles if your hair is thick, coarse, or curly and denser bristles for finer, thinner hair.
So now you can see that which hairbrush you reach for is more important than you thought it was. Grabbing the wrong brush won’t produce the results you hoped for leaving you frustrated with your hair, whereas the right brush will easily do its job for perfect results every time.
