For Thick or Coarse Hair: Nylon Bristle Brush
Taming thick or coarse hair can be a chore. A sturdy tool, such as a nylon bristle brush, can help you end the struggle with your strands. They tend to be tough enough to handle the volume of your hair while also gently removing those stubborn tangles. Try Conair Velvet Touch Large Paddle Brush, $6.49, or Aveda Wooden Paddle Brush, $27.
For Natural Hair: Denman Brush
Women with natural hair tend to swear off brushing altogether because it seems that no brush can handle their mane. Thankfully, Denman created the D3, a brush that's made specially for curly yet unruly hair. The D3 has since expanded into other varieties that is now collectively known as the Denman Brush. What's unique about the brush is how its nylon bristles effectively detangle curls while the rubber base provides a strong foundation. Check out the Denman D3 Classic Styling Brush, $13.69 for starters.
For Short Hair: Small Round Boar Bristle Brush
If you have super short hair, you may be able to get away without brushing your hair. Still, it is best to maintain it by choosing the right brush. A small round brush made with boar bristles is perfect because it catches every strand. Like other boar bristle brushes, this one also helps to distribute your scalp's natural oils evenly. Try the Raincry Smooth 2.0 Small Brush, $58, or Harry Josh Pro Tools Round Brush, $55.
