Revlon Pro Collection Salon One Step Straight and Shine Hair Straightening Brush, X-Large

Product Information

Ceramic Plating: When shopping for a straightening brush, celebrity hairstylist Ryan Trygstad suggests looking for a device with ceramic plating technology. “Ceramic glides through the hair more easily without pulling or catching,” he says. Heat styling can already be damaging to the hair, so by reducing the potential for pulling and catching, you’re helping to further prevent breakage. T3’s Edge heated styling brush is great for reducing frizz and static with its ionic heat and ceramic paddle. The firm, tooth-like bristles look a little unusual at a first glance, but the design helps to ensure even heating all the way across the surface of the brush. Unusually, the edge of the brush is heated, which helps keep the temperature even as you stroke the brush through the hair and allows easy styling of waves as well as poker-straight hair. There are also shorter, nylon bristles around the edge of the brush that help to detangle the hair as you style and smooth down flyaways for a polished finish. Who doesn’t love a salon-quality blowout at home that leaves your friends wondering who your stylist is? The name says it all: these ingenious hot tools are electric brushes that double as heaters, allowing you to get a sleek, smooth look in record time. These brushes are "ideal for those who are less coordinated in using round brushes while controlling the direction of the blow dryer for a smoother and more controlled finish," says pro hairstylist Devin Graciano. They also put a bit of space between the heating plate and your hair, meaning they’re less likely to cause damage, like breakage. This extra-long ceramic-coated brush uses a combination of interior combs and bristles to detangle, which helps minimize over-styling. Plus, it has an LED smart heat memory system, auto shut-off, and a tangle-free cord. We love a multi-functional tool, and this straightening brush is that times six. You can also use it on wet hair so perfect if you’re in a rush.

Straightening brushes are a great way to instantly add polish and smoothness, especially to wavy hair," explains T3 stylist ambassador David Lopez. "For hair that is getting blown out often, it is a great way to touch up the blowout. Now with the new technology on the market, they can handle tighter and frizzier textures. For many hair types, it's a great way to add smoothness and with the right technique, some bounce as well."

Heat Settings at or Below 375 Degrees: Trygstad doesn’t recommend using a product that exceeds 375 degrees. “Too hot of tools can damage your hair’s keratin protein,” he says. (Keratin protein is the outer layer of the hair). “Finer hair types can suffer keratin degradation at 390 degrees while coarser hair will start to become damaged at 410 degrees.” With that in mind, it’s best to stay on the safer side when it comes to the temperature of your tool. He also recommends looking for a tool that can maintain even, consistent heat. This will prevent you from having to pass the device through your hair multiple times, thus reducing the chance of damage.

Hair styling tools make it so easy to change up your look, so why not add some hair crimpers to your collection? Meanwhile, curling wands are just the things if you've got naturally straight hair and have been dreaming of those pretty curls. And if you don’t want them looking too perfect, brush them out later for a softer wave. Prefer to get your blow-dry style the traditional way? Take a look at our wide selection of hair dryers for big and bouncy volume that never goes out of style. A diffuser attachment will help you bring texture to your hair without the frizz, while a lightweight travel hair dryer is just what you need if you're taking a trip.

The intelligent heat control and digital motor V9 are powerful enough to give you the desired hairstyle without extreme heat damage. Key details – Material: Ceramic; Heat settings: 1; Cord length: 1.7m; Auto switch-off: Yes (1 hour)An open secret among beauty editors is that we're not all pros at doing our own hair. (That's why we go to the pros.) But hair straightening brushes are tailor-made for people like us: we have a love of hair tools, but don't want to try that hard to get a great style. Because straightening brushes quite literally straighten hair as you brush, they’re impossible to mess up. Yes, this tool is pricey, but for someone who likes to mix up their style—with minimal effort—this is well worth the investment. It’s also one of the few straightening brushes we’ve found that you can use on wet hair. You’re essentially getting six tools in one, with different attachments that can create different styles. As far as straightening goes there are two options, both firm and soft smoothing brushes, which you can play around with depending on just how sleek you want to go (soft brushes tend to make hair sleeker). Also noteworthy is the inclusion of a pre-styling dryer which helps ensure your hair isn’t soaking wet when you straighten it (though this tool can be used on damp strands). It glides through the hair to detangle, dry and give volume up to half the time (*).

Keep an eye out for brushes that use ionic technology to moisturise your hair as you style, reducing damage and frizz. In addition, ceramic materials reduce friction and pull on the hair. Hot tools with a range of temperature settings are great for hair health, allowing you to select a lower temperature for finer hair. The best hot straightening brushes monitor the temperature of the tool in use to avoid damage to the hair from overheating. A longer cord allows the brush to be manoeuvred more easily around the head. An automatic switch-off function is also a good feature to have to avoid accidental fires from leaving the brush switched on when not in use. How do I use a hair-straightening brush? The Flower straightening brush has four heat settings and includes conditioning ionic technology for fast styling with a soft and shiny finish. Arriving in a pretty pink colour, it will look cute on your bedside table. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a good-value straightening brush at a low price. Voltage: Take a look at the voltage of your brush. Many are safe to use both at home and abroad, but always consult your instruction manual of the product you're using. "Standard voltage is 120V in the US, and 220-240V in Europe," shares Wnek. "If you see a range like 110-220V in a product manual or on the product’s electricals, it indicates that it is dual voltage and can be used at home and abroad."Curly-headed people will find this brush makes the process of straightening a ton easier, thanks to the double negative ion technology. However, your hair will need to be dry before using, which may be tough for those with corkscrew curls. All of the straightening brushes that made our list are worth a try, but Drybar's Brush Crush Heated Straightening Brush stole our hearts. It works on all hair types, straightens in record time, and leaves our hair feeling silky smooth. However, if you're looking for a budget-friendly option that's also great for medium to long hair, you can't go wrong with the Remington Pro 2-in-1 Heated Straightening Brush. It's infused with argan oil and keratin to tame any frizz and flyaways you've got. Auto shut-off: Consider shopping for hair straightening brushes that feature an automatic shut-off for safety. No need to second guess yourself trying to remember if you turned it off or unplugged it!

Lopez loves this tool from T3. With tons of features (a heated edge for increased surface area, digital Rapid HeatIQ technology, three heat settings, and ceramic heating for a smooth finish, to name a few), T3’s new styling brush might just replace your trusty straightening iron full-stop, especially during rushed mornings. Material: Straightening brushes typically have ceramic and/or tourmaline bristles that heat up to straighten hair, notes Good Housekeeping Beauty, Health & Sustainability Lab Chemist Danusia Wnek. Drew Barrymore’s Flower beauty and lifestyle range has consistently delivered simple but effective products that do what they say on the tin since its launch ten years ago. This straightening brush is no exception. It’s a relatively simple ceramic paddle brush that doesn’t add any bells or whistles to the basic heated brush concept, but it delivers a good straightening and smoothing effect at a value price. The Edge features three heat settings: a cooler setting (127ºC) suitable for fine hair and two higher settings (149ºC and 177ºC) for coarser hair and tighter curls. Ionic technology helps moisturise and condition the hair as you style, further reducing static and frizz. An ideal product for moisturising, smoothing and taming frizz-prone and flyaway hair.Ionic TECHNOLOGY gives you the power to create a salon finish. 30% **Less frizz, for shiny, health-looking hair. (**Data based on industry-leading third-party brush and dryer tests) Because of the included natural argan oil, this brush is ideal for those with medium-to-long hair or hair that has been chemically treated, including coloring. It may not be the best choice for someone with shorter or finer hair though since it’s a wider brush. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{
