If I am proud of one of my skills, it’s my ability to wield a round brush in one hand and a blowdryer in another and give myself a blow-out that could compare to any I’ve received at a salon. While time and practice certainly added to this ability, I am a firm believer that if you’re using the wrong kind of brush for your hair, your style will always suffer. This is even more important for blowouts when your hair will look insanely different depending on the type of round brush you have.
What Kind Of Round Brush Do I Need?
Buying the right round brush entirely depends on your hair goals. Larger barrels on a round brush generally equal smoother, straighter looks. On the other hand, the smaller the barrel, the more the hair needs to wrap around the brush, meaning more curls or waves. But, a smaller barrel is needed when styling short hair or bangs so that the bristles don’t scrape your head. Bristles also play a massive role in the kind of round brush you need. For hair that is easily damaged or dehydrated, a brush that has a boar-bristle not only strengthens the hair over time but also distributes the oils from your scalp to your ends.
Below, find 13 round brushes for every hair type and texture so that you can cancel your weekly salon appointment and get your best blowout at home.
