Product Information

Over time, heated styling tools like curling irons can cause the hair to look damaged or brittle, leading to a frizzy texture. Adding a mousse to your routine before styling can help protect the hair from this less-than-perfect fate while adding an essential lifting effect. 7. Air drying versus blow-drying: Which is best? Though it's something we reach for on a daily basis, most people don't spend a lot of time considering the overall makeup of their hair brush. There's more to it than shape—round, oval, or rectangular, for example. When it comes to hair brushes and how well they detangle and style, the type of bristle—a synthetic material like nylon or a natural material like boar—matters, too. The key to keeping flat hair at bay is by focusing on lifting the roots,” says hairstylist Elena Diaz. Diaz reveals her insider tips to ensure your tresses stay full and voluminous and gives us the 411 on essential gravity-defying products.

Pop it to the open setting for a built-in flat iron (if you want to straighten or smooth frizz) or clamp it closed to create a heated round brush that can deliver glossy body, volume, and/or soft curls. It's well-suited for many hair types and textures, and it has four different heat settings that go up to 400°F. For hair that sits above the shoulders, styling choppy layers with a curling wand is a great way to play with texture,” suggests Diaz. “Take layers at various lengths and curl some of the ends inwards and others outwards. This will add the illusion of fuller hair around the face.”

The longer your hair is, the more likely it is to be flat due to being heavier. This is particularly true for those with flat and thin strands. Try taking off a few inches or even going for a full-on bob to give your hair body and movement. 12. Use a dry shampoo to add fullness. According to Nader, cleaning your hairbrush shouldn’t be a complicated process. “I just mix warm water with clarifying shampoo and let the brushes soak for an hour; that way, all the buildup can disappear," he says. "Then, I rinse them in cool water and lay them out in the sun to dry.”

Ooh la la, indeed. The act of brushing also stimulates the capillaries and blood vessels on the scalp. This helps increase circulation to the area, which in turn increases how much oxygen reaches the hair follicles. It also boosts the flow of nutrients to the area. All of this is said to help with hair growth, strengthening the roots and reducing hair loss. Since I cut my hair into a bob, I pretty much always wear it straight... but I legit despise having to blow dry, then flat iron my hair. Enter: Shark's SmoothStyle hair-dryer brush. It uses hot air to help dry my hair, just like all of the other blow-dryer brushes on this list, but the design of the bristles really lends itself to detangling, smoothing, and styling my hair. Pros: Comes with a variety of attachments, great for touch-ups, great at creating a salon-level blowout When it comes to shaping a bouncy blow-dry, a round, so-called barrel brush just can’t be beaten. It might take some time to master the skill of balancing a hair dryer and brush, but the bouncy, voluminous curls you’ll get are worth it.

Pros: Acts as both a flat iron and hot brush, well-suited for all hair types and textures, reaches heat settings up to 400°F Round brushes like the It's a 10 Miracle Round Brush are best suited for styling, as they create a lot of volume in the hair.
