The Best Straightening Hair Brushes For Tangle-Free Tresses

If you’ve ever struggled to get a smooth glide with a pair of straighteners, allow us to introduce you to the best straightening hair brushes. Yes, the innovation makes life easier for those with particularly thick or curly hair, but all things considered, the straightening hair brush bears universal appeal. Combining the detangling bristles of a brush with the smoothing heat of a good hair dryer, the best options can take your hair from just-showered wet to bouncy blow-dry in very little time at all.
Vogue’s shortlist of the best straightening hair brushes:
What to look for in a straightening hair brush
With more and more launches cropping up, the appetite for the convenient hairstyling tool continues to grow. You may be tempted to make a hasty purchase of the first hot brush you find, but not all straightening hair brushes are created equal. Do you have hair that kinks or coils? You’ll do well to consider options with flexible, smooth beaded bristles, which flex with your strands and minimise the chances of excessive tension, snagging and breakage. These tend to come in round brush formats, which are also the best option for those after voluminous, blown-out styles. If your hair isn’t as prone to tangles, or you want to achieve straighter looks, there are a great number of firm-pronged brushes on the market which keep hair taut as they straighten for a super sleek finish.
