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

Product Information

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. This 5-in-1 device has a blowdry paddle brush that uses low heat and intense airflow to smooth hair without damaging it. Customers rave about how powerful yet gentle the tool is.

For the sleekest of styles, invest in some easy-to-use hair straighteners. We've got top brands including Remington, BaByliss and Phil Smith. Go for a set featuring anti-static ceramic plates for a look that's extra smooth. And when it comes to hair removal, epilators will remove your body hair at the root for silky soft skin and a long-lasting finish. 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.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. News flash: while flat irons are a great option for sleek, smooth strands, they are not the the only option out there. H air straightening brushes work as a flat iron and a brush in one to help streamline the smoothing process, detangling as they style. These tools are essentially hot hair brushes, so you can effectively brush and detangle your hair while you straighten it for frizz-free, shiny hair in a single step.

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." Hair straightening brushes are electric paddle brushes with ceramic and/or tourmaline bristles that heat up to straighten hair," explains Wnek. In simpler terms, these hot brushes are a paddle brush and flat iron in one. "Hot air brushes or hair dryer brushes, as we like to call this category in the Lab, are innovative styling tools that release warm/ hot air through the circumferential surface of a round or oval brush," she says. Meaning, an oval brush and hair dryer combined. "These brushes style and smooth hair by applying tension through the brush on the wet hair while evaporating the moisture from it to set it." They are a more user-friendly option for those who style their hair using a round brush and a hair dryer. Styling second-day hair just got easier with this tool, which has a bevy of features including a SmartSense microchip for consistent heat distribution, a shine-enhancing ion generator, and five heat settings to suit all types and textures.This hot brush uses ceramic bristles and far-infrared heat to avoid frizz, while also sealing the cuticle to keep moisture in.

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. 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." 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 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. 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.

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. For an all-purpose styling set, trust Dyson Airwrap multi-styler set. The intelligent heat control and digital motor V9 are powerful enough to give you the desired hairstyle without extreme heat damage. Revlon’s Straight & Shine uses ionic technology to condition the hair as you style, and features a ceramic barrel for snag-free styling. The 2.5m cord makes it easy to plug in almost anywhere and move the brush around the head, and there’s an automatic safety shutoff after 60 minutes. Like its air-based cousin, the Straight & Shine is simplicity itself to use and results in sleek, polished hair that looks salon-fresh in mere minutes.
