Ever wonder
why you can’t get the same hairstyle results as your hairdresser, when you do
the job at home? Chances are the culprit is your hairbrush.
Hairdressers
have an array of brushes, and they rely on the right hairbrush to achieve the results
specific to their client. With a little knowledge about the types of
hairbrushes available, the investment you make in purchasing the correct brush
for the job at hand will pay off in your wallet as well as the finished style
you are hoping for.
Vent Hair
Brushes
This choice of brush is used while the
hair is it’s wettest. The long plastic or rubber bristles act as fingers to open and lift
the heavy wet hairs, allowing more air inside your scalp area. A large paddle
is best for long or thick hair, while a smaller base is more useful with short
or fine hair. A Denman hairbrush is also used in much the same way.
Round
Thermal Hair Brushes
These
brushes are available in numerous sizes from jumbo sized to a base as small as
a dime. The important feature in
these brushes is the base: metal base and ceramic base brushes conduct heat, so
they shape and curl hair while drying. These are most effective once the hair
is damp and not wet.
Paddle Hair
Brushes
Paddle
brushes are flat and often wide. The base can be made of plastic or wood. The
bristles vary also, and can be designed in nylon or natural boar bristles.
Bristles on this type of brush are close together and give the scalp a slight
massage while disbursing your natural oils throughout your hair. This brush is
wonderful for the ‘100 stroke’ theory of brushing before going to bed or
shampooing.
Sculpting
Hair Brushes
These
brushes come in various sizes and are designed for styling, teasing/backcombing
hair to give more volume. Backcombing is as effective on long hair to give
volume to the root area, as on short hair to create an avant-garde look.

Don’t let
all of these choices seem overwhelming. Just remember that hairbrushes made of
natural materials are going to be more gentle on your hair and usually cause
less static electricity.
The best
brush for your use is the one that achieves the look you want, with the least
effort.
