There’s a wide world of brushes and combs out there, but Glenn O’Reilly breaks it down to just three main types to look out for. |
A WIDE TOOTH COMB
These
are great for detangling hair once it’s been washed. The teeth are
spaced far apart so it’s easy to remove tangles and knots.
|
|
PRICE: Inexpensive, can be around $12. My favourite is the Cricket from Cricket, a little more expensive but worth the investment.
AVAILABLE AT: Hairdressing suppliers or Hairdressing salons.

FLAT PADDLE BRUSH
Flat
paddle brushes are soft brushes made with plastic prongs. They’ve been
around for years and are an excellent tool for professional and
consumers alike to have in their kit.
Use them for brushing
through the hair as you’re putting a blow-dry through, to take the
moisture out. They help you manage your hair while you’re blow-drying, and diminish fly-away pieces.
PRICE: Around $22 retail.
AVAILABLE AT: Hairdressing salons or selected pharmacies.

ROUND BRISTLE BRUSH
If
you’re pulling curly hair straight, a round bristle brush helps create
tension on a section of hair and create a smooth finish. Also great if
you’re going for a bevel – a bend or flick on the end of the hair, that
‘S movement’ which finishes hair with a curve on the end.
Different bristles can create static electricity so look for a boar bristle.
|
PRICE: Start at around $22.
AVAILABLE AT: Hairdressing salons, hairdressing suppliers or selected pharmacies.
