Types Of Hair Brushes

• Vent Brush

• Styler

• Cushion Brush

• Paddle Brush

• Thermal Brush

The Vent Hair Brush


It is the simplest brush to use but gives only the simplest of effects.

It has vents through which air flow. Use this brush to give your hair height and volume as well as some direction.

The Styler Hair Brush

No vents and easy to use. But it cannot provide enough tension so you will not be able to get the smoothness you want.

The bristles are on one side only and form a slight half circle bend. They are best used on bob shape cuts and mid length hair.

With this type of brush you will straighten the lengths and ends of your hair.

The Cushion Hair Brush

Very simple to use and popular with men.

Have a soft cushion base with bristles on one side.

If your hair is short to medium lengths and not too thick or dense, use this brush to smooth, without lift or volume.

The Round Hair Brush

They are not just for creating curl.

For achieving maximum height and lift use the more open bristle type.

If your hair naturally has a wave or curl, the densely packed real bristle round brush is great at smoothing and straightening your hair with the tension needed.

The size of the brush you need depends on the length of your hair and the effect you want. Your hair needs to be long enough to rap around the brush once.

The Paddle Hair Brush

The paddle brush is larger and flatter than the cushion brush.

Use this brush if your hair is long.

After using a round brush to straighten wavy or curly hair, use this type of brush to finish off. Also use the paddle brush to smooth naturally straight hair.

With this type of brush you won't create volume if you sweep the brush down the length of your hair with a paddle type motion.

The Thermal Brush

There are round thermal brushes but they also come as vent or styler types.

A heat conductive material is the center of the brush. This material gets hot using the heat from your hair dryer.

As you increase the heat that is drying your hair it will be working not only on the surface of your hair, but internally as well.

Be very careful, it is easy to scorch your hair if the brush gets too hot!
