To find the right hairbrush for you, first, know your hair type. Using a brush with bristles too tough for your hair can be damaging to the scalp and cause unwanted hair breakage. Determining your hair type can make a big difference in the type of bristles you need, affecting the brush you should choose. Here’s a quick test for how you can figure out your hair type, so that you can customize your brushing experience and be sure to find the right brush for you. Take a single strand of hair between your fingers and follow the below guidelines:

―    If you don’t feel it, you have fine hair

―    If you can feel the single hair, you have normal hair

―    If can feel the single hair is strong and coarse, you have thick hair

On National Brush Your Hair Day, Michel Mercier by Kampalook is offering a free travel brush with the purchase of any Michel Mercier Detangling Brush (excluding the wooden brushes) visit MichelMercierBrush.com through November 12. You can also #UntangleYourDay on social media where the brand will be giving away 1 brush an hour throughout the day.

Hotheads hair brushes get you instagram ready

The experts at Hotheads,  along with renowned stylist, Frazier Voloshin, offer insight into how to make your hair the buzz on social media. Hotheads is the premier hairbrush line developed by stylists with over 50 years of experience addressing a variety of haircare needs.
 
To start, simply prepare your hair by using a styling product that works with your hair type and style you wish to achieve.  For example, to create big hair a volume spray is a must.  For a smoother finish, use a frizz free spray.  Be mindful to keep the hair damp at the roots and throughout the hair when round brush styling. This will give a stronger, lasting style/set.
 
To create a smooth sleek finish, be sure to use tension and a drop and drag motion with your styling brush through the hair.  Hotheads’ Mr. Smoothy is a good choice because it gives you “Grip & Slip” when needed for more control when styling.  Hair sits on a cushion of bristles side-stepping contact from the hot barrel of your brush preventing heat damage to the hair.  The design of the bristles organizes the strands evenly and smoothly, giving you more control when styling.

For a voluminous or glamorous Hollywood look, try Hotheads’ Speed Brush. Take a section of hair and wind around the brush making sure the section is no larger than the brush base, heat with dryer till dry, let cool and continue with another section.

Frazer Voloshin a top stylist at Curious Salon in Aspen Landing, Calgary adds: “I love my Mr. Smoothy.  I use it on most of my clients.  Whether I’m straightening the thickest curly mane into a smooth, flowing, sexy shape or giving the finest hair volume, and lift, it is my go-to brush.” Here are Frazer’s tips for creating sexy beach waves. For a beach wave, dry hair to 5% moisture left.  Take horizontal sections, starting in the nape.  The section should be just a little less than the width of the barrel of the brush.  Take 45 degree sections through this using the same width. Wrap the diagonal section into the brush, up and around the barrel. Heat until dry.  Cool it down quickly while unwrapping the section. This creates a softer curl to the hair on the outside, and a little stronger to the hair more insulated in the center.  As you get to the ends, spin the brush in the same direction as the curl pattern. Dropping the ends after 2-3 rotations.  Voila, instant beach babe hair!

Hotheads is a division of Canadian-based True Cool Technology Enterprises, a technology driven brand, whose innovative haircare products are a combination of hybrid designs for speed, performance and superior hair quality.  The complete product line includes the Paddle Plus Collection, the Enforcer Collection and the Speed Brush Collection, among others.  Each brush is uniquely designed to provide “Style Without Damage” and be a healthy alternative for damaged hair.

Brush & dry easily with Goody

As a licensed hairstylist my job is to teach you the best ways to take care of your hair at home. Everything from to shampoo and condition down to properly blow dry. I have done many women with extremely thick long hair that seems to take forever to dry. They always tell me that half the time they just skip blow drying all together because of how long it takes. I can’t say I blame them. I have always had thick hair and when I was younger my mom used to just put it pigtail braids so I wouldn’t have to worry about it. With Christmas just right around the corner, the best gift you can give to those “thick haired girls” on your list is the QuikStyle Paddle Brush from Goody.

Goody QuikStyle Paddle Brush

What makes this paddle brush so unique is the microfiber bristles that help to remove water and dry hair faster. It’s like a towel and a hairbrush in one. I at times like to flat iron my hair and the whole process from beginning to end takes forever. Even though it’s short now, it still does. The other night I went out with some friends and was running a little late. When I got out of the shower I let my hair dry in the towel for about 5 minutes then took it out. I did my face and then went to my hair. I grabbed my blow dryer and my QuikStyle Paddle Brush then proceeded. The microfibers in the bristles were very gentle and helped dry my hair in half the time with incredible shine as well. Imagine that. Now we can get ready for work, holiday parties and dinner in a snap.

Mom’s & dad’s.. can you imagine blow drying your daughter or son’s hair in half the time? No more “OW MOM”!!! or “this is taking forever”. So give the gift of hairstyling ease this holiday with QuikStyle Paddle Brush from Goody. For more styling tools and accessories visit www.goody.com
