A
variety of hair styling brushes, ranging from natural bristle to wooden
quills are available to accommodate different hair types. A good quality
styling brush are extremely durable and comes with maximum control,
snag-free styling. Styling brushes are all-purpose brushes that usually
have six to nine rows of straight tufts of bristles. Hair styling brush
have excellent blow drying performance and are used by hair dressers to
smooth, shape and polish small, medium and long hair. The various
styling brushes are:
Paddle Brush: These are distinguished by their size and cushion
type base from which the bristles protrude and are larger and flatter
than the cushion brush and are used when you have lots or long hair to
deal with. They are great to smooth naturally straight hair or to finish
off after using a round brush to straighten wavy or curly hair.
Vented Brush: This brush has widely spaced, flexible bristles.
Openings in the head, where the bristles are attached, allow for good
airflow. Today, vented brushes are primarily used for drying hair
because they offer superior airflow, making short work of moisture.
Cushioned brush: This category of brushes includes the
oval-shaped cushioned brush with padded head, used for simply brushing
out the hair and the flat paddle brush with an air cushion that's used
exclusively for long hair. The latter is an invaluable tool, by the way,
because the cushion and bristles are designed to collapse anytime they
meet resistance; hence, they prevent long hair from being stretched,
split, or broken.
Round brush: Many round brushes have wooden or plastic handles
with a variety of grips that ensure good traction and fit the hand.
Round brush are used to have some bend or curl in the hair.
