A hairbrush is a grooming tool used for hair care and for smoothing the locks and detangling them. Hairbrushes can also be used for styling the hair in combination with the hairdryer and the curling iron. They are diversified and are used for various purposes and even differ from each other as each of them has special features that benefit different types of hair. The effects of brushing will also be different, depending on the type of hair texture and whether the hair is dry or wet.
Brushes of various types are available in the market, and these may have natural bristles, synthetic bristles, or a combination of both. The brushes with natural bristles help in enhancing blood circulation and distributing sebum on the scalp. This helps to moisturize the hair strands from the roots to the tips, providing a healthy shine and glow to the hair.

Here are some commonly used types of hairbrushes best suitable for different types and lengths of hair:

• The paddle hairbrush: These brushes usually have bristles placed on a soft cushion, are helpful in massaging the scalp, detangling, and smoothing naturally straight hair. The paddle hairbrush is suitable for medium to long hair of any type. It is beneficial for daily grooming purposes, along with straightening and adding shine to the hair. A wide paddle brush is also helpful in quickly detangling hair before stepping out of the house.
• Vent hairbrush: These type of brushes are suitable for reducing the time taken for drying the hair. The vents or spaces between the bristles on these brushes let the hot air from the blow dryer reach the hair strands easily. For faster drying, it is advised that the hair should be dried in sections and should also be brushed from the root to the tip continuously.
• Small round hairbrush: The small round hairbrush is suitable for achieving side-swept bangs and for the accentuation of the layers of the hair. This hairbrush should also be used if one wants to have the right mid-length bangs but are unable to maintain their placing in the right manner. For better results, the person should bring their bangs on both sides of their face and hold the brush in a horizontal position. The hairbrush should be placed behind the hair and rolled backward while being tugged in the upward direction. If one wants fringe bangs, the brush needs to be placed in the front of the bangs and rolled forward while tugging in the upward direction.
• Large round hairbrushes: These types of hairbrushes help in creating a lot of volume in the hair. The brush is needed to be constantly rolled, and the hair should be held while drying it with this hairbrush. This enables the hair to have a lot of volume with minimum efforts involved.
