The secret to your best hair days might be hiding in plain sight! Choosing the right hairbrush could hold you back from reaching healthy, manageable, and perfectly styled hair.
Using the incorrect brush for specific hair types can lead to frizz, damage, increased static, and scalp irritation.
We aim to simplify your hair brush selection process by recommending some of our best brushes to help restore its natural beauty.
Every hairbrush is designed for specific purposes and hair types. Here are some of our favourite brushes for different hair types and styles:
Paddle Brush – Its wide, flat surface covers a large area, quickly detangling and smoothing long, straight, thicker hair during blow-drying while preventing pulling and tugging.
Round Brush – Ceramic round brushes help control the amount of frizz at bay when air drying, adding shine while preserving volume while doing a traditional blowout. Smaller barrels create tighter curls, while larger barrels create looser waves and extra volume, lifting your hair at the roots during blow-drying.
Detangling Brush – Gently detangle wet or dry hair with soft, flexible bristles that glide through knots without damage. Perfect for fragile, textured, or curly hair. Start detangling from your ends and gently work your way up to the roots.
Ionic Hot Air Styler – Give yourself the perfect blowout every time! Generates negative ions to reduce static, minimise frizz, and speed up drying time. Great for all hair types, incredibly thick or frizzy hair. Section hair and brush through each section while blow-drying for best results.
Scalp Massage Brush – Stimulates blood flow promotes relaxation, and distributes natural hair oils. Suited to all hair types, use on wet or dry hair. Gently massage the scalp in circular motions.
Travel-Sized Brush – Ideal for on-the-go styling and quick touch-ups. Compact versions of paddle, round, and folding brushes are available for travel. Use according to the specific brush type.
Edge Brush – Secures baby hairs and flyaways with small, firm bristles that provide precise control for smoothing and shaping edges, especially for textured or natural hair. Apply edge control product to bristles and gently style.
Wide-Tooth Comb – Detangles thick, curly, or wet hair using widely spaced teeth to minimise breakage and frizz. Start at ends and work up for better conditioner distribution in the shower.
