All About Hairbrush Bristles
At Target a while back, I was so flustered about which hairbrush bristle to choose that I decided to make a whole series out of it. So, in case you missed it the first time around, I present to you all you ever wanted to know about these components of hairbrushes. Hello clean, shiny, and tangle-free locks.
Hairbrushes: Styling
The styling brush is a basic, everyday kind of hairbrush that can be used for general combing or during blow-drying. While the round brush is best at gripping the hair for sleek styles, the low tension of a styling brush works wonders on smoothing out ends — particularly for bobbed or medium length styles.
Also known as the "styler" or the "Denman," this classic rectangular shaped brush can also be used to lift hair at the roots for added volume.
Hairbrushes: Round
Many a times, I have stood in front of the hairbrush aisle facing, to me, what seems like a zillion choices — flat, round, skinny, soft-bristled, and/or balls on the ends? It's enough to make the head spin right 'round. And cue the 80s music.
Hairbrushes: The Paddle
The hairbrush — you probably use one every day, but with the wide variety of brushes available, do you ever wonder which is what, and which one you should pick, anyway? Well, you're in luck because all this week, I'll be featuring different types of brushes and how to use them. As a general guideline, pick a brush based on the length of your hair and the style you want to achieve.
Think Pink: Spornette Pink Paddle Brush
Today's breast cancer awareness find is an affordable way to contribute to the cause. This Spornette pink paddle ($10.20) is a professional-quality brush with ball-tipped nylon bristles on top of a flexible pad.
It might not be the most thrilling of the products I've profiled so far, but really, who doesn't need a brush?
How To: Clean Your Hairbrush
The other day, a fellow Sugar editor asked me how long your hair brush should last. When I told her that a good one can last years if cleaned regularly, she just kind of cocked her head and make a funny sound. I realized then that it hadn't even occurred to her to that you can clean a hairbrush!
Do Fancy Brushes Make a Difference?
For years I've been reading about Mason Pearson hair brushes in magazines, and inevitably they're lauded as life-changing miracle brushes. I haven't tried one yet, but I was given a Frederic Fekkai travel brush ($55) that's similarly luxurious.
The faux-tortoise brush is beautiful, easy to hold and replete with old-timey allure.
