Waves & Curl Brushes

What does a curling brush do for hair?

A curling brush is a versatile styling tool that’s a hair dryer and a styling brush rolled into one. Imagine creating bouncy waves or adding volume to your hair with just one device.

This hair tool works wonders on damp hair, drying and styling simultaneously, and is perfect for a quick blow-dry or blowout. It's also a great choice to add volume and detangle, especially for those with curly hair or dry hair prone to frizz.

What is better, a curling iron or a curling brush?

Choosing between a curling iron and a curling brush depends on your hair goals. For defined, tight curls, a curling iron is a great choice. It's perfect for those who want precision in their hair styling.

If you want to achieve relaxed waves or add volume while drying your hair, a curling brush is ideal. The hot air brush is gentler on dry hair and frizz because it combines the benefits of a round brush and a blow dryer brush. It's also a time-saver, perfect for quick styling and volumising. Whether you're in a rush or looking for a multi-styler, this hair tool offers a versatile solution for your hair styling needs.

What is the difference between a curling brush and a flat brush?

A curling brush, often resembling a curling iron with bristles, is designed for creating natural-looking curls and waves. It's essentially a hair dryer brush and hair styling brush in one that can dry and style simultaneously. This tool can add volume and achieve a smooth, blown-out finish with subtle curls at the ends.

You’ll need a flat brush if you have short to long locks and want sleek, smooth hair. This hair brush is made to straighten and smoothen hair, remove frizz, and prevent snagging. It's the go-to tool for a polished, straightened look, making it a must-have when you need to look your best quickly. Unlike the curling brush, the flat brush doesn't offer curling capabilities but delivers a smooth, sleek hairdo with minimal effort.

What is the best way to use a curling brush?

Mastering the use of a curling brush can transform your hair styling routine. Here's a simple guide to getting the best results:

• Prep your hair: Start with clean, damp hair. Wash your hair with your regular shampoo and conditioner, and avoid heavy hair care products that might weigh down your hair.
• Apply heat protectant: Always use a heat protectant spray before styling. This step is important to protect your hair from heat damage.
• Detangle and section hair: Brush your hair thoroughly to remove any tangles. Then, section your hair based on thickness, using hair clips to hold each section. This makes it easier to style without missing any strands.
• Curl hair: Make sure your hair is still slightly damp. Start with the lowest section, then wrap hair around the brush from ends to roots. Take your time for smooth, even curls. Hold the brush in place for a few seconds before releasing the hair.
• Repeat and be patient: Work through each section carefully. Remember, good curls can't be rushed!
• Set with hair spray: Once all your hair is curled, apply a light hair spray to help hold the curls longer. Avoid touching the curls too much to maintain their shape.

What should I look for in a curling brush?

When choosing the right curling brush in Australia, focus on what works best for your hair and styling routine. Key features to consider are the heating barrel material, how well it distributes heat, the comfort of the grip, the length of the cable, the type of bristles, and temperature settings. A great curling brush balances these elements to style effectively.
