Description
Straightening hair with a brush is a great alternative to using a flat iron. There are several types of brushes that can be used for straightening hair, but not all of them are created equal. Choosing the right brush is key to achieving straight, sleek hair without damaging your locks.
How to Straighten Hair with a Brush
The best way to straighten hair with a brush is to start with clean, dry hair. Apply a heat protectant spray to your hair before using any heat-styling tools. Then, section your hair and use a brush to gently pull each section straight while blow-drying it. For more stubborn areas, you can use a round brush and wrap the hair around the brush while blow-drying. Finish with a blast of cool air to set the style.
