Caution: Too much heat may damage your hair and your brush. Make sure you use heat protectant before styling your hair and use the lower heat setting on your flat iron or blow dryer.

Paddle Brushes

Paddle brushes can be used along with a straightening iron or a blow dryer. They are ideal for those times you want pin straight hair.

How To Use

1. After you shampoo and condition, towel dry your hair. Semi-damp hair is necessary for straightening your hair using a blow-dryer.
2. Comb out any tangles and apply heat protectant to your hair.
3. Section off your hair. You’ll need to take up an inch-wide section at a time when you straighten. Make sure that you keep the rest of your hair out of the way.
4. Place the paddle brush beneath the section, and stretch as tightly as possible. Keep the blow-dryer at a distance of about 15 cm. As you begin drying your hair, move the paddle brush and the blow-dryer along the section simultaneously. Repeat, if necessary.
5. Straighten the other sections and set with a hairspray.

Take a look at some of the best paddle brushes for straightening hair:

1. Conair John Frieda Paddle Brush

John Frieda’s paddle brush claims to reduce fizz and add shine because of a secret ingredient – silicone. The brush is tourmaline-ionic infused, which releases negative ions that help tighten your cuticle layer and lock the natural oils in. It works well for hair that is prone to tangles and breakage. When used for straightening, the result is a smooth and flat finish.

Round Brushes

Round brushes are great for straightening hair, especially when you are going for a slight flip at the ends. They have been used for that particular purpose since forever. But the new generation round brushes are power packed tools. They tend to come with ceramic/metallic barrels and unique bristles, which save your hair from damage by using less heat.

How To Use

1. Using a wide-tooth comb, detangle your hair before you begin.
2. Take a small section of hair, no more than an inch wide, and run the round brush through it. Smoother and frizz-free hair requires less heat.
3. Place the brush a few centimeters from your roots, and aim the blow-dryer at the brush.
4. Brush your hair, while stretching it simultaneously as you blow dry. Repeat with the rest of the sections.
5. Set with a hairspray to make your straight hair stay that way until your next wash.

Here are a few of the best round brushes for straightening hair:

4. Brushlab Fresh Ceramic Thermal Nylon Bristle Jumbo Hair Brush

This large barrel brush by Brushlab is a great tool for those looking for ease of use without compromising on style. The bristles are made up of nylon that makes them highly resistant to heat, so you can use your blow dryer at the highest heat setting without worrying about damaging the brush. The ceramic coated barrel helps balance the heat distribution, which prevents your hair from drying out or getting damaged.
