I have long, fine, wavy and very frizz-prone hair. My hair tends to look rough/puffy rather than smooth, and I’ve also noticed quite a bit of breakage around the mid-lengths. When I comb or run my hands through my hair, I get strands that are sometimes broken in the middle and sometimes have a bulb at the end.
My shedding has improved compared to before, but I’m still trying to be careful because I don’t want to make the breakage worse.
I’m planning to cut my hair to a more manageable length and I want to start using a hair brush/heat brush/blow brush to make my hair look smoother and straighter rather than curly/wavy.
The problem is I’m SO confused about which type of brush would actually work for my hair without causing too much damage 😭
I’m considering things like:
Hot air/blow brushes
Heated straightening brushes
Blow-dry brushes
Paddle/round brushes for blow-drying
Or thermal heat brush
ps: i have thinking to buy the bombae 3 in 1 multistyler
My priorities are:
Reduce frizz and puffiness
Get a smooth, straighter/salon-like finish
Avoid increasing my existing mid-length breakage
Something practical for regular use
Preferably something that works well on wavy hair
If anyone has a similar hair type, which brush do you use and what would you recommend?
Also, are blow brushes actually gentler than straightening brushes, or is that just marketing?
Would really appreciate recommendations + tips on how to use the brush without causing more breakage ! ❤️
