Which Hairbrush Should You Be Using?

Hey there, welcome back to Beauty Blogs by The Warehouse Salon and Studio 360 Salon!  Today I want to give you a variety of choices when it comes to hairbrushes, and maybe what you need to add to your hair and styling routine. Brushing your hair is what finishes your style and creates that softness and shine we all need! 

Wet Brush 

As you can tell by the name of the brush, this is made for wet hair. Our hair is the most fragile when it is wet, and we need to be gentle with it. I always recommend some kind of brush made for wet hair and there are so many brands, from wet brush itself, to tangle teezer, and more options! Please don't be rough with your hair and make sure to read my blog called How to Brush Your Hair Properly (from a Professional).

Bamboo Brush 

A bamboo brush is a sustainable and eco-friendly hairbrush option that can be gentle on hair, stimulate scalp health, and promote hair growth. Its lightweight and ergonomic design make it easy to use and great for travel. Depending on the type of bristles used, bamboo brushes can also be great for styling hair. This brush is great for my girls who want to be sustainable while having great hair! 

 

Paddle Brush 

Let's start with the paddle brush. This type of brush is perfect for detangling long, straight hair. The wide, flat shape allows for easy brushing, and the bristles are spaced out enough to avoid tangling. Paddle brushes are also great for blow-drying, as the large surface area can quickly smooth out hair while you dry it.

 

Round Brush

Next up is the round brush. This type of brush is perfect for creating volume and curls. The round shape allows you to wrap your hair around the brush and curl it as you brush it out. Round brushes also come in different sizes, so you can choose a smaller one for tighter curls or a larger one for looser waves. Round brushes come in all sizes and forms depending on the style you want to achieve, or the length of your hair. Round brushes can come in bar bristle form, nylon form, ceramic, or a mixture of two. Round brushes really help achieve ultimate volume when blowdrying your hair. 

 

Wide- Tooth Comb 

If you have curly hair, a wide-tooth comb is your best friend. This type of comb has wide teeth that won't disrupt your curls, and it won't cause frizz. It's also great for evenly distributing conditioner throughout your hair, making sure every strand gets the moisture it needs.

Vent Brush 

For those with thick, unruly hair, a vent brush is a must-have. The vented design allows for air to flow through the brush, which speeds up the drying process. The bristles are usually widely spaced, which makes it easier to detangle and style your hair without causing damage.

Boar Brush 

Finally, let's talk about the boar bristle brush. This type of brush is made with natural bristles that help distribute your hair's natural oils throughout your strands. This can help reduce frizz, add shine, and promote healthier hair. Boar bristle brushes are best for those with fine, straight hair. I love to finish my styles with these brushes or even use a rounded boar bristle brush to add insane shine! 

Summary: 

Now that you know the benefits of each type of hairbrush, it's time to choose the one that's right for you. Whether you have curly or straight hair, thick or thin, there's a hair brush out there that can help you achieve your best hair day yet.
