The Best Hairbrush for Every Type of Hair

The last thing thin-haired ladies need is a brush that’s going to make them lose even more strands. That’s where a cushioned paddle brush with boar bristles comes in. (We like this one from Fromm.) According to Love, it helps to lift hair from scalp while blow drying, creating volume at the roots while still being super gentle on finer hair.

If you’ve got a head of wild curls, Love suggests picking up a boar bristle brush mixed with nylon, like this one from Morrocco Method. “These will create the most tension, resulting in a super shiny and smooth finish,” she says.

Choosing a brush for thick hair depends on the look you’re going for. For a smoother, straighter result, opt for a paddle brush with nylon bristles, like this one from Sephora. For a bouncier style, use a nylon round brush with a ceramic barrel, like this version from Drybar. (Love tells us the ceramic barrel acts as a curler.)
