Finding the Right Brush for Your Needs

With so many types of hair brushes available, it can be hard to figure out how to begin shopping for a new one. You may want to start by considering the purpose of your hair brush.

• Round brushes add volume and promote smoother, straighter hair when used during blow drying. Small-barreled options are best for short hair. Wider brushes are a better choice for longer, thicker hair.
• Cushioned brushes massage the scalp while separating strands and work to create a neat-looking end result even when styling delicate fine and damaged hair.
• The wide head on paddle brushes is ideal for smoothing hair and gathering it in sections when creating various hairstyles.
• Vented brushes have small slits or holes to promote the flow of hot air to speed up blow-drying.
• Detangling brushes are specially designed to work out mats and tangles to protect hair from breaking and splitting.

Options for Keeping Hair in Place

No matter what type of style you're going for, you can find the accessories you need to keep it in place all day.

• Bobby pins and hair pins are discreet solutions for up-dos and pinned-back looks and can be placed anywhere you need to hold the strands thanks to their short length.
• Decorative claw clips are another way to achieve an up-swept or half-up look.
• For ponytails, pigtails and braids, choose stretchy hair ties. You can finish them off with a fabric scrunchie or wrap a strand of hair around them to hide the ties if desired.
• Barrettes enhance the visual appeal of hairstyles and can be used to clip back your bangs or the sides of your hair.

When shopping for hair accessories, keep your hair type in mind. Generally, you'll need larger accessories to hold thicker, longer hair in place.

Accessories That Secure and Cover Hair

Some hair accessories are designed to keep hair tucked away or out of your face.

• Hard headbands made of metal, plastic and other materials have a U-shape and sit on top of your head.
• Soft headbands are circular and can be positioned anywhere from your forehead to your crown.
• Hairnets keep hairs contained under a wig or inside of a hat.
• Caps and head wraps offer complete coverage but are made from opaque material rather than sheer netting.
• If your styling task requires you to section off your hair, styling clips provide the perfect solution with their easy-to-use, spring-mounted jaws.
