6 Best Straightening Brushes for Seriously Sleek HairA straightening hair brush is the answer to your frizzy flyaways and unruly curls |
Straightening brushes sound too good to be true. Coaxing your curls into smooth, straight hair couldn't possibly be as easy as just running a brush through them, right? Take it from someone whose curls are a life-long, well-kept secret: Straightening hair brushes can give you sleek, silky hair -- if you find the right one and know how to use it.
"You're only as good as your tools, and if your tools and technique fall short you're not going to get the results you're looking for," says celebrity stylist Ted Gibson, who coifs the heads of A-list stars Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway, Gabrielle Union and Kate Walsh.
Hair straightening brushes can give you lustrous, straight hair, but Gibson warns that they're not really meant to give you the bone-straight hair achieved with a straightening iron. A hair straightening brush is no replacement for a pin-straight, zero-wave finish. After two weeks of trying them out, I agree with Gibson: "They're two totally different tools to have in your styling arsenal for very different results."
I took six straightening brushes for a spin on my voluminous, hard-to-manage curls. Here, the hair straightening brushes that are total game-changers for curly-headed girls.
