The round brush is the most loved by salon proprietors, hairdressers, and clients. Do you realize that a round brush size comes in dimensions, usually 2, 2.5, or 3 inches? The longer the hair, the wider you need to go. For hair that is between shoulder and chin length, the round brush that works best is between 1.3 to 1.7 inches. Hair that is past the shoulder needs a two to three-inch brush.
The ceramic-coated barrel helps to retain heat and smooths your hair as you blow-dry so that you can easily shape and enhance the volume through the styling process. The round hairbrush can add body, bounce, and volume when blow-drying. Wrap a section of the hair around the cylinder and place a blow dryer against the brush to get subtle curls and an instant lift.
Boar-bristle brushes – 100% pure boar bristles usually have nylon ball tips and a honeycomb design. The brush can have either natural or synthetic bristles that create soft tension that does not leave you with flyaways or frizz. Boar bristles help to spread the sebum around to lubricate each of the hair strands, and that helps to reduce frizz. Don’t use a brush with short plastic bristles that may tangle your curly hair. A wide boar-bristle brush has flexible yet dense and spiral bristles that can gently grip the curls and smooth them as you roll the brush, leaving the hair with a soft blowout.
For shiny hair rather than dull hair, brush your hair in sections, hit it with a dryer or a hot round brush, and it will build the perfect amount of shape, volume, and shine that will last. You can twirl the brush through damp hair, and it will leave a sleek and ultra-soft blowout with no other skills required.
For long and thick hair, the wider the round brush should be. A 2.5-inch barrel is the perfect width. If the barrel is thermal, it helps to evenly distribute heat while you are doing the styling.
For coils and soft waves, natural boar bristles help distribute the hair’s natural oils, and the ergonomic and lightweight brush body is easy to hold during the styling.
For fine or damaged hair, you do not want to use a blow dryer with high heat and a large brush with heavy bristles that will tug on the hair. Use super-fine bristles for soft tension, which means no pulling.
For bangs, use a tiny round brush with only a 3/4-inch barrel. It will slip under the bangs, and the soft nylon bristles will give a flyaway-free styling.
Conclusion
Experiment with all that a round brush can do to make your hair healthy, shiny, and soft. You have seen above that a round brush is ideal for all types of hair. You can also cope with whatever particular problems you may have with your styling as the brush performs its “magic.”
