The Right Brush

One thing that’s vital for any decent blow-dry (but easy to overlook) is your choice of brush. For luscious, bouncy curls grab yourself a decent-sized round brush. Anything that has 100% boar bristles, is a massive yes from us! The bristles help carry sebum from your scalp down through the hair shaft, conditioning the lengths and ends. Making the most of natural hair oils means you won’t have to add as much product which means more time between washes. What’s not to like? To make the most of this wonder brush, make sure you flash dry your hair first – using this on wet hair will result in breakage. Work it from root to tip, for a simple pull-and-roll technique and a sleek and healthy looking finish.
