You may never have thought about this, but choosing the right brush type for your hair type is critical to ensuring the best result when combing, styling or brushing your hair. Just pay attention on the next visit to the salon, and you'll see how many brushes hairdressers have to get the best effect.
Currently, the market offers a wide range of brushes of different sizes, bristles, designs and materials. Find out what is the difference between them and the most suitable for your hair type.
Bristle Types
One of the points to consider when choosing the brush is the bristles. The bristles with balls at the ends serve to lock the hair when it comes to brushing, so they are more used in thick hair, since in thin the resistance is lower and the hair may end up breaking. Nylon bristle brushes can be used by any type of hair for both drying and styling.
Natural boar bristles are ideal for thin and brittle hair. Because they are softer, they do not harm the hair when drying and reduce breakage during brushing.
Metal bristles are excellent for detangling the strands, but any oversight can injure the scalp while the plastic balls with balls at the ends are perfect for detangling the strands especially if wet.
Cable Types
The brush handle also needs to be evaluated at the time of choice. Wooden handled brushes reduce wire static by decreasing frizz. Wire rope accelerates the drying process and ceramic wire is best used for styling hair because of its ability to retain heat.
Brush Sizes
In this case the rule is simple, short hair gets better results with small and thin brushes, medium hair is better when styled with medium brushes and large brushes should be used on long hair.
Wire texture
If you have fine hair, you should choose a brush with straight and well-joined natural bristles to detangle them without damaging the scalp. Those who have thick strands should prefer brushes with thin and separate bristles.
Racket brush
This type of brush has a straight and square shape and large spaced bristles that facilitate detangling and comb without breaking. In addition, they have protection against scratching the scalp. They are indicated for straight and slightly wavy hair. Smooth ones can also be brushed with this model.
Separate Bristle Brush
This type of brush has a wide spacing between the bristles, which allows hair to spread more easily. They are indicated for curly and thick hair, because they straighten easily.
Mixed Bristle Brush
This type of brush mixes nylon, which helps in detangling the strands and natural boar bristles that align the strands providing greater firmness and leaving hair smoother. They slide more easily on curly and wavy hair.
Metal Thermal Brush
These brushes are best used by professionals and at home should be used with caution, as when heated, their incorrect use can burn the hair and scalp. Its metallic body makes hair dry faster, so it is used to straighten and also to straighten straight hair to make it curly and also to straighten curly hair.
Now just choose the type of brush most suitable for your hair and raze the hairstyle.
