Using a hair straightener is one of the popular ways to achieve straight and silky locks. However, the styling tool can easily take up space in your bag or dresser. In that case, you might want to consider an all-in-one tool that combines two hairstyling essentials: the brush and hair straightener. Known as the hair straightener brush, it’s an innovative hair styling tool that is easy to use and effective in taming your tresses to smooth out kinks and curls and minimize frizz. It’s less damaging than conventional straighteners, too, and it may eliminate blow-drying as an extra step to hair styling.

Hair straightener brushes have been around since 2015, and you’re likely to find a good selection of products now. However, they’re not made equal. These tips will help you choose the best one for your hair:

Check the hot plates

Find out what type of hot plates are used between the bristles of the hair straightener brush, as that can determine the heat time and quality of the tool. Ceramic plates are great at reducing frizz, and they safely speed up the drying process for damp hair.

Make sure it’s adjustable

Most hair straightener brushes can heat up relatively quickly, with average temperatures reaching 230 degrees Celsius. However, that may be too hot for some hair types. If you have curly or thick hair, consider a tool with up to six different heat settings so you can adjust accordingly.

Determine the bristle quality

Choose a hair straightener brush with ionic bristles that are gentle to the hair and scalp. Make sure they won’t be rough against your strands.

Ensure user-friendly operation and safety

Look for a lightweight brush with an easy-to-use control panel and an LED display that lets you know its status. Consider a brush with an auto-shutdown feature, so you don’t have to worry about it overheating and becoming a hazard if you forget to unplug it.
