What Is A Hair Straightening Brush?

A hair straightening brush is a hair styling tool that is a brush and a straightener all in one. There is so much to love about a brush that straightens hair! It’s an electric hair brush that heats up to smooth and straighten your hair as you brush it. The base plate of the brush heats up but the bristles don’t. It is less damaging to your hair than a standard flat iron straightener.

Do Straightening Hair Brushes Work?

A common question asked is ‘Do hair straightening brushes work?’ In my experience the answer is a resounding YES! I’ve found that straightening hair brushes work amazingly well. The best straightening brush reviews are all overwhelmingly positive.

How Does A Hair Straightening Brush Work?

A hair straightening brush is super easy to use. You plug it into the power socket to heat it up to enable it to straighten your hair. You then simply brush your hair slowly with it. The heated brush straightens and smooths your hair as it detangles it.

When using the best electric hair straightening brush you only need to go over each part of your hair once or twice at the most. If you have thick curly hair you will need to section it into smaller sections, even when using the best electric hair brushes.

Benefits Of Using A Top Rated Hair Straightening Brush

Based on my own experiences and also from reading electric hair brush reviews it is immediately apparent that there are many benefits to using a top hair straightening brush to style your hair and tame your frizz, curls and waves, instead of using a traditional flat iron hair straightener.

Following is a list of the benefits of hair straightening brushes when comparing a hair straightening brush vs flat iron.

Quick To Use

A hair straightener brush is quicker to use than a traditional hair straightener. Using a top straightening brush only takes slightly longer than brushing your hair as normal. It takes all the hard work out of styling your hair and gets you ready in the mornings before work, and in the evenings before going out, a lot quicker.

Safe To Use

A hair straightening brush is a lot safer to use than a flat iron hair straightener. Flat iron straighteners use exposed hot plates, which are easily touched and cause burns when they come in contact with your skin.

The bristles on best hair straightener brushes protect your hands and scalp from burns as they stop you from being able to touch the hot plate.

Preserves Hair Volume

Your hair will look more voluminous after using a hair straightening brush as opposed to using a flat iron hair straightener. A flat iron hair straightener flattens your hair, minimising it’s volume and making it look lifeless. Every good brush hair straightener Australia wide allows your hair to keep it’s shape and volume, and even increase it, thus making it the best hair straightener for fine hair.

Even Heat Distribution

A feature of all the contenders for the best heated hair brush Australia wide is evenly distributed bristles that effectively separate your hair, ensuring an even distribution of heat application to your hair. The bristles streamline the straightening process.

Less Heat Damage

A hair straightening brush causes a lot less heat damage to your hair than a flat iron hair straightener.

For this reason brush style hair straighteners are the best straightener for damaged hair 2019.

However even the best heat hair brush straightener is still a heat styling tool. As a precaution whenever you apply any heat to your hair you should use a heat protectant to decrease the potential of heat damage to your hair.

Less Juggling

When you use flat irons you usually juggle holding a brush in one hand and the flat iron in the other hand to perform both functions with two different tools.

Using a hair straightening brush you don’t need to hold anything else in your hands as it multi-tasks brushing and straightening your hair simultaneously.

Anti Frizz

If you suffer with frizzy hair, a straightening brush will leave your hair smooth, sleek and shiny. The straightening brush removes static electricity from your hair and adds negative ions to it which are especially good for thin or damaged hair.

Can Be Used Daily

A hair straightening brush can be used safely on your hair daily. Unlike flat irons a hair straightener brush will not strip moisture out of the hair shaft.

If you are wanting to limit the damage done to your hair, a straightening brush is the best option for straightening your hair.

Things To Look For In Best Hair Straightening Brush Reviews 2019

To determine the answer to the often asked question of ‘what is the best hair straightening brush to buy?’ it is useful to look at heated straightening brush reviews.

To select the best straightening brush Australia 2019 has to offer that best matches your needs and wants you should consider factors such as bristle quality, plate material, heat time, temperature setting, handle design, portability and aesthetic hair brush design.

Bristle Quality

The best straightening brush 2019 will have good quality bristles that are securely attached to the base of the brush.

Cheap hair straightening brushes can have lower quality bristles that can fall out easily requiring you to replace your brush sooner rather than later.

All the best straightening brushes featured in this post have good quality, secure bristles.

Plate Material

The plates are the most important factor to consider when choosing the best hair straightener brush Australia has available. It is the plate that heats up your hair and you should choose a material that is right for your hair.

Most high quality hair straightening brushes use either ceramic plates or tourmaline plates to reduce the amount of potential heat damage to the hair.

Ceramic plates are the most popular in hair straightening brushes. They heat up faster, so you can style your hair  quicker and expose your hair to heat for a shorter duration of time.

Ceramic plates work by releasing negative ions into hair to neutralise the oversupply of positive ions in hair. This reduces frizz and makes hair smoother, sleeker and shinier.

Tourmaline plates also release negative ions into hair to reduce hair static and frizz to leave hair looking smooth.

Heat Time

When reading hair brush straightener reviews also pay attention to the heat time of the brush. Different hair straightening brushes can take varying amounts of time to heat up. The amount of time taken is often reliant on the plate material. Ceramic and tourmaline plates heat up very quickly.

Temperature Setting

When choosing the best brush straightener Australia 2019, the temperature that the brush heats up to is also worth checking out in hair straightening products reviews. There is no universal answer to what the ideal temperature for hair straightening brushes is but the best hair straightening brush for curly hair will have higher temperature settings than the best hair straightening brush for fine hair which will have lower temperature settings.

Generally speaking you want to use the lowest temperature possible that still achieves straight hair for you.

Handle Design

The best hair brush straightener Australia wide will have an ergonomic handle which fits well into your hand and feels comfortable and easy to hold.

Portability

It is now possible to buy a cordless hair straightening brush. These are the best straighteners Australia wide if you are frequently out on the go all day and night and want to touch up your hair while you’re away from home. They are also perfect for taking on weekends away.

Aesthetic Design

Admittedly the aesthetic design of hair straightening brushes won’t affect their performance but as my straightening brush is permanently out on my vanity table in full view of my bedroom I want it to look good.

The best looking hair straightening brush I’ve ever seen is the Dafni Limited Edition Rose Gold Hair Straightening Brush. It is absolutely gorgeous and totally swoon-worthy! Luckily it is also one the most effective hair straightening brushes too!

The Silver Bullet Hybrid Ionic Ceramic Straightening Brush is a professional quality straightening brush with a ceramic plate and separate ionic generator that ensures a frizz-free result.

This brush has the benefit of an adjustable temperature control with an LCD digital temperature display. The benefit of this is that you can adjust the temperature down as low as 160°C to minimise heat damage to your hair. This low temperature makes this the best hair straightening brush for fine hair.

People with curlier and frizzier hair will appreciate that the temperature also goes up to 210°C. I recommend that you use it on the lowest temperature that still achieves smooth sleek straight hair in one pass for you.

Another advantage of this brush is it’s dual voltage so it’s good for worldwide usage. The cord has 360 degree swivel for easy maneuverability.
