Vega Premium Collection Hair Brush - Paddle - Wooden 1 Pcs

Product Information

The more bristles, the more control (tension) you get when you blow out the hair," Savano explains. "The fewer bristles, the more airflow you get, so less control but a faster blow-dry." Additionally, she recommends natural over plastic bristles and ceramic instead of metal barrels when blow-drying. For wet hair, plastic is usually the way to go. Over time, heated styling tools like curling irons can cause the hair to look damaged or brittle, leading to a frizzy texture. Adding a mousse to your routine before styling can help protect the hair from this less-than-perfect fate while adding an essential lifting effect. 7. Air drying versus blow-drying: Which is best? Kat Savano is a hairstylist based in the California Bay Area. She is also an educator for Leonor Greyl.

Nylon can also be effective and some tools mix both nylon with boar, like the Oribe Flat Brush. Plastic is okay, though it won't hold up as well and can cause added friction (and therefore added frizz) to strands. There's nothing that gets us more excited than a two-for-one styling deal, and this brilliant hair dryer brush from InStyler is at the top of our "need" list. Pop it to the open setting for a built-in flat iron (if you want to straighten or smooth frizz) or clamp it closed to create a heated round brush that can deliver glossy body, volume, and/or soft curls. It's well-suited for many hair types and textures, and it has four different heat settings that go up to 400°F. Plus, brushing spreads sebum to make your hair stronger (sounds disgusting, we know), and this can help with greasiness. What type of hairbrush should I use? When considering what type of hair you have and what you’re trying to achieve, you should easily be able to find the perfect brush for your needs. Things like the shape, bristle type, and diameter are all things you should consider.

When it comes to shaping a bouncy blow-dry, a round, so-called barrel brush just can’t be beaten. It might take some time to master the skill of balancing a hair dryer and brush, but the bouncy, voluminous curls you’ll get are worth it. And for the authentic catwalk look, GHD Ceramic Vented Radial brush collection is the weapon of choice for stylists worldwide. We suggest using Suave Up The Volume Shampoo and Conditioner, both of which add weightless shine and lasting lift. 5. Keep conditioner away from your roots.

You might be tempted to style large chunks of hair as you go to save time. But, for the most cohesive result, focus on getting the right amount of texture in each small section. This will ensure you have a more finessed and less frizzy result. 11. Give your hair the chop. Cutting your hair short will give it more volume.Give your hair the best chance and natural volume by cutting it shorter. The longer your hair is, the more likely it is to be flat due to being heavier. This is particularly true for those with flat and thin strands. Try taking off a few inches or even going for a full-on bob to give your hair body and movement. 12. Use a dry shampoo to add fullness. I'm aware that this is the most expensive hot brush out there, but I believe that the Dyson AirWrap is one of the best hair multi-stylers for creating bouncy blowdries at home whilst giving you the option to style your hair in many ways. It offers six different attachments, including a round brush—which is easily my favourite of the bunch—as well as two curling barrels for tighter curls, two paddle brushes for detangling and straightening lengths, and a blow-drying attachment. The soft bristles of the round brush polish my hair as I twist it through my lengths, leaving it shiny and with an incredible bounce and so much volume at the roots. I will admit that it takes a few goes to get a feel for the styler and how it best works for your hair type. I like to use a good hair mousse and hairspray to ensure my curls last, and I make use of the cold shot button to "set" my hair into place before removing the brush to prevent the style from dropping. These tips, combined with the AirWrap itself, really have helped my curls stay in place. If you've been thinking about investing, I'd recommend it.

Try using your straighteners or a curling wand to create loose, unkempt waves. Alternatively, braid your hair before you go to sleep and unravel it in the morning for plenty of curves and kinks. Ooh la la, indeed. Handle: Consider the ergonomics of the brush. You can choose a few different handle styles: Plastic, wooden or rubber. "For a smooth, perfect, gripped handle, I prefer the wooden handle out of the three," says Taylor, though a rubber handle also provides a solid grip and comfort while brushing, and plastic handles tend to be a more affordable choice. This is a simple tip that can change the level of volume in your hair. It’s so important that you only focus conditioner on the bottom two-thirds of your strands. If you put conditioner in your roots is will over-moisturize them and weigh them down, taking away any hope of creating volume at the root, which will, in turn, maintain the flat hair. 6. Use a volume-enhancing mousse against Flat Hair. Incorporate a mousse into your routine for extra volume. For a more effective application, lift smaller portions of the hair at the roots and holding the dry shampoo perpendicular to your head. Spray each section accurately towards the scalp. There are no cutting corners here; the more time you spend on your coif, the fuller it will look. We suggest using Dove Refresh+Care Volume and Fullness Dry Shampoo as this product has built-in volume-enhancing qualities to aid you in your quest to more voluminous strands. 13. Thin and flat hair? Opt for a hair combo of classic styles.

3. If you have fine, straight hair…

For hair that sits above the shoulders, styling choppy layers with a curling wand is a great way to play with texture,” suggests Diaz. “Take layers at various lengths and curl some of the ends inwards and others outwards. This will add the illusion of fuller hair around the face.” First things first, this particular hair dryer brush is designed to be used on dry hair only, so make sure you let your hair completely air-dry or rough-dry with a dryer prior to use. It has a 1.25-inch barrel, which is the perfect size for creating lots of volume and body and hints of curl or wave. (It's easy and fun to customize your results!) Plus, it keeps the heat at a consistent 365°F, so there's minimal damage, and the cool tip means no burnt fingers. Wins all around! Pros: Comes with a variety of attachments, great for touch-ups, great at creating a salon-level blowout
