From smoothing fly-aways to detangling fragile strands, the right Brush makes all the difference. Luckily, we've rounded up the top five that know exactly what your hair needs!
By Usha, Salon Stylist, Highpoint
You Want: Zero frizz plus heaps of shine.
The Brush: Brushology Premium Boar Bristle HairBrush No. 1. This one is hot property! It’s a powerhouse of smoothing from root to tip thanks to a crafted blend of boar and nylon Brushes that evenly distribute natural oils throughout the hair. This leads to glossier gloss, gentle detangling, closing of the cuticle – and zero frizz.
Perfect for: Daily use.
You Want: Gentle fix on fine, wet hair.
The Brush: Tangle Teezer Fine & Fragile Wet Detangler in Cinnamon. The biggest mistake most people make when it comes to hair is Brushing it when it’s wet. When hair is holding moisture, it is at its most vulnerable and any stretching through Brushing or combing can cause it to snap. Thankfully, this Brush holds 325 flexible teeth that glide over with the hair with a bit of ‘give’, so hair is not pulled or tugged which can lead to breakage.
Perfect for: Post-swim and post-shower.
You Want: Quick smoothing fix
The Brush: Brushology Signature Smoothing HairBrush. The beauty of this Brush? How densely packed the boar and ultra-flex nylon bristles are. This means not one hair gets the choice of staying out of place when Brush it through. Fly-aways are tamed immediately, and it works beautifully on fine, thin or thick and curly hair. I particularly love this for chic, pulled back ponytails.
Perfect for: Slick back styles
You Want: Quick detangling
The Brush: ghd Paddle Brush. I always suggest going for a wide, flat based Brush on thicker hair as this allows for control over larger sections of hair, ensuring less repetition of Brushing. I love this Brush as it has a long handle that is easy to hold, and the bristles don’t create any static, making it ideal before or after Heat Styling.
Perfect for: Thicker hair that is harder to manage.
You Want: Big volume in less time.
The Brush: Hairhouse Volumising Teasing Brush. Tiny but mighty, this 19mm barrel creates lift, volume and tighter texture right at the root. Small enough to get into tight spaces – but with pure boar Brushes that provide just enough tension without creating tangles - its ceramic and ionic technology reduces frizz and styling time. Plus, the handle is fab for sectioning hair while styling.
Perfect For: All hair types
