fine, straight hair because it is flexible <strong>and</strong><br />
minimizes breakage. Always use boar bristles<br />
for finishing—it creates shiny, polished,<br />
healthy hair.<br />
• MIXED BRISTLES — Mixed bristles<br />
are a combination of 100 percent boar bristles<br />
<strong>and</strong> nylon bristles. Nylon bristles are stronger<br />
than boar but unlike boar, they aren’t porous<br />
or soft.<br />
Nonetheless, nylon is important in styling<br />
brushes because it helps create more<br />
pull, to help you grab the hair better. Some<br />
nylon bristle is crucial when you are working<br />
with medium coarse hair or very curly hair,<br />
although it is not recommended to use a 100<br />
percent nylon bristle brush because that can<br />
cause breakage.<br />
• PORCUPINE BRISTLE — A porcupine<br />
bristle brush is comprised of tufts of<br />
pure boar bristles with a longer nylon quill<br />
at the center. This nylon quill provides extra<br />
tension which is extremely helpful when<br />
working with extremely difficult hair that is<br />
very coarse or very curly or both.<br />
The way the bristles are set in the brush<br />
is very important too, since one configuration<br />
is best for styling while another is best for<br />
volume <strong>and</strong> extra lift.<br />

CERAMIC, WOOD OR METAL BARRELS<br />
Barrels are made out of ceramic, wood or<br />
metal. Ceramic is a fantastic material for the<br />
barrel of a styling brush because it holds the<br />
heat a long time <strong>and</strong> conducts heat evenly <strong>and</strong><br />
naturally, without burning the hair.<br />
Wooden barrels or wood with ceramic<br />
coating are also good options. The ceramic<br />
coating can make the wooden brush as efficient<br />
as a ceramic brush, but it will retain heat<br />
without overheating <strong>and</strong> damaging the hair.<br />
The shape of the brush barrel is also<br />
crucial. An oval-barreled brush will give you<br />
extra tension <strong>and</strong> added control over difficult<br />
hair, from the roots to the ends, which are<br />
equally important in smoothing very curly<br />
hair. The oval shape is also best on over-processed<br />
hair. The flat area of the oval allows<br />
you to create extra extension, especially at the<br />
ends, giving you a flat iron finish.<br />
LIGHT WEIGHT HANDLES<br />
H<strong>and</strong>les should be light. Remember, you<br />
are wielding this tool all day. A well-engineered<br />
brush will get the job done without<br />
added weight. Let the brush do the work.<br />
Most of us don’t skimp on our scissors.<br />
Why should we make the mistake of thinking<br />
all brushes are the same?<br />
