Cool Tip Heat Brushes

It’s a round and bristled brush that generates heat, similarly to a hair dryer. The main difference is its shape which allows you to style, dry, add volume and smoothen your hair simultaneously. Combining two steps into one.

First of all, your hair shouldn’t be completely dry or soaking wet – a bit damp is ideal, a towel dry is enough. Apply heat protection spray, it’s not essential but always recommended.

Next, you need to comb or brush through your hair, getting rid of any knots or tangles, but remember to be careful as your hair is wet and therefore fragile.

Then, evenly section your hair and clip the top parts as it’s best to start from the bottom up. Turn your heat brush on and let it warm up, depending on the model this can take between a couple of seconds to a minute or two. Wrap your hair over, but not fully around, the brush and slowly pull down keeping the hair taut. Let your hair cool down and finish off with some serum or a bit of hairspray.

This might seem silly, but the first step to cleaning your heat brush is to make sure it’s turned off and cooled down. Once it’s room temperature, remove all strands of hair and wipe it down with a damp cloth. Make sure you clean between all its bristles and if it has a removable filter, take it off and clean it.

It’s simple but very important to clean your heat brush as excess product can lead to additional heat damage. It might also affect how well your heat brush works and the quality of your hairstyle. So do yourself, your hair and your heat brush a favour and clean it regularly!

Yes! In fact, you should always use your heat brush on wet or damp hair. Because when your hair is dry, it’s already set, which means it’s really difficult to shape. But if you’d like to refresh your style, it’s all good to use the heat brush as a finishing touch on dry hair.
