If you’re sick of playing Broken Bird with a round brush and blow dryer to get the silky volume you’re looking for in your hair, it may be time to invest in a thermal brush. Essentially, this hair tool marries the heat of a hair straightener and the grasp of a round brush, allowing you to get straight hair (pun intended) in one fell swipe.
What is a Thermal Brush, Anyway?
So, it’s pretty obvious that a thermal brush is a heated tool, but how are you supposed to use it? This tool straddles the worlds of round brushes and flat irons to smooth, lift, or curl your hair. The bristles get heated up, and with a single swipe down your strands, you get to style that mane of yours; it’s one tool you won’t have to worry about losing huge clumps of hair to heat or bristles.
For the most part, the brush has ceramic or tourmaline tech — the two components that will allow it to heat up and spread the heat evenly as you swipe it through your locks. This ensures that there is no bald spot in terms of heat distribution, while the guilt of having fried and frizzled ends dissipates as the heat locks in moisture, leaving your hair looking shiny and smooth.
Why You Need One in Your Hair Routine
Are you in a committed struggle with that perfect blowout? You’re not alone. While, in theory, a brush and a round brush will suffice, there is a bit of an iron fixture you’d have to budget for. A thermal brush, however, ensures that all of those problems are virtually non-existent, and that too in half the time.
Here is why you should have added it to your cart yesterday:
Easy to Use: It feels like you are brushing your hair, while at the same time not really brushing it. Why, you ask? Because it does all the hard work of getting through those tangles.
Volume and Bounce: Looking to get bouncy waves of hair? This tools got you! The heated bristles in it play two roles; firstly they uplift your roots and secondly curl those strand at the end to exactly how you want it.
Say Goodbye to Frizz: No more frizz? How awesome does that sound! With the brush’s ceramic and ionic tech you can smooth out even the frizziest of hairs. Also, don’t worry about scalding your locks, it won’t do that. Instead it leaves you with glossy smooth head of hair.
Works on All Strands: Wondering if it works on thick curly hair, or if its only for straight hair girlys? The answer is: it works on all hair types. You just need to use it the proper way.
Using a Thermal Brush
First you got to clean your hair; no hair tool or product is that effective on dirty and rough strands as it does with clean fresh hair. Before putting it on your head, remember to spray some of that heat protectant — you don’t want to roast your lock! Secondly, you got to section out your hair so that each part gets its equal share of straightness and heat. Use a brush to gently comb through the sections as you heat it up — this creates that volume you’re aim for.
Are you trying to use the tool to create soft waves? It can do this for you too. Carefully brush the hair, especially the ends, hold it in place for a few seconds and you’re good to go.
To end the routine, spray some shine on those beautiful strands and keep shining throughout the day.
