The Hairbrush You Use Matters, and Stylists Recommend These 15 Above All Others

When I recall my hair brush history, there's a defined time before this detangling brush and after (the former is admittedly more of a challenge to remember). With that said, Pattern's Shower Detangling Brush completely altered the way I approach the days I wash and style my natural hair. It's a true power player due to its ability to clump, detangle, and define tight textures.

I haven't had to face off against static and frizz often in my hair journey, but I know plenty of people who have stopped at nothing to find a solution. Fromm's ultra-flexible vent brush is one of them. It offers salon-quality control over strands using flexible, anti-static, ceramic-infused pins ideal for smoothing away frizz and flyaways.

When it comes to getting down to the nitty-gritty of detangling natural hair textures, Lopez has endless tips and tricks. She uses this uniquely shaped brush to detangle curls without tugging or pulling. Lopez also uses The Go Green Detangling Comb to distribute conditioner and leave-in treatments evenly through strands. "Its shape makes it gentle on the scalp, yet it can handle even the toughest tangles," says Lopez.

If you're after volume, finding a round brush is imperative to creating ultra-glam waves and curls every time. Raincry's medium-sized volumizing brush is crafted with magnesium to reduce the presence of static electricity and keep blow-drying time low. Magnesium allows heats and cools faster than ceramic, meaning this brush helps preserve styles while minimizing damage.

A larger version of Tangle Teezer's best-selling Ultimate Detangle Tangle Teezer brush, this one is designed to thoroughly and gently distribute product while your in the shower and allow for easy detangling afterwards (you can thank its 325 uniquely flexible teeth and 2-tier technology for that). While it's designed for all hair types, it's especially effective on fragile hair.

Did you know your hair type and texture can change over time? I experienced that after transitioning my hair from being chemically treated to its natural curly state. No matter your hair story, it's always a good idea to have a few versatile hair tools in your arsenal, like this Wet Brush that promotes healthy hair for all textures and types.

If you've ever left the salon after an expensive hair treatment to find your hair quickly reverting back to its less fabulous state, you're not alone. Luckily, GHD's paddle hairbrush can keep your lovely locks in check. It's designed to keep strands looking sleek and static-free.

Spoiler alert: Paddle brushes are game changers for most hair types. However, they probably have the biggest difference in straight and wavy textures. T3's Smooth Paddle Brush uses high heat-resistant bristles and a cushioned body to smooth the strands for sleek and polished results with or without the addition of a hair product.

Your search is over for a vegan boar bristle brush that will actually make a difference in your hair. This Briogeo brush detangles straight, coiled, curly, and wavy hair types using multi-layered bristles with soft ballpoint tips to gently massage the scalp and promote better health for all hair textures.

Ready to bring on the volume? Here's one luxurious round brush that promises that and more. Crafted from European Beechwood and high-quality boar bristles, Oribe's Medium Round Brush delivers the perfect grip and balanced weight with an ergonomic design that rivals all other salon-quality round brushes.

Vented hairbrushes are a favorite among beauty experts because they quickly dry most hair types by allowing hair to circulate freely and blow through the bristle section. This top-rated brush from Olivia Garden is also ceramic coated and uses ion technology to restore the hair's balance and smooth the hair while adding endless sheen.

If you have naturally curly hair and haven't invested in one of Denman's best-selling hairbrushes, it's time you hop on the bandwagon and simplify your haircare routine by adding one (or two) to your collection. The Curly Hair Brush D4 is a favorite of mine since it is multi-functional, delivers easy detangling without hair breakage, and is extremely comfortable to use.

You can never have too many multipurpose brushes. Don't believe me? Check out this one that can detangle and style hair for a smooth, styled finish. Made from entirely vegan materials, it fights against frizz while stimulating hair growth using vegan boar-like bristles that gently massage the scalp.

Teasing your hair doesn't have to be challenging. Oribe's Teasing Brush is proof, since it features a blend of boar bristles and soft nylon pins to style your hair while adding volume. This luxurious brush is crafted from custom-designed Italian resin for the ideal grip and weight.

This Fromm Intuition Boar Bristle Brush zeroes in on the hair shaft by ridding it of hidden dust and debris while evenly distributing natural oils from the scalp down strands. Its longer pins massage the scalp, while shorter pins add the perfect amount of tension.
