So let's talk about the classic brush, well, because it's a classic! We've  definitely all seen this brush, and have probably owned one in your day. The classic styling brush typically has a slightly rounded head that creates a slender curve when blow drying your hair. It can be found with five, seven or nine rows, typically made of nylon bristles. This is the ultimate brush choice when you desire sleek, smooth locks that have a little bit of curve and personality.

The vented hair brush has been a favourite for years, and is also the brush that created some of Hollywood's favourite classic hairstyles, including Farrah Fawcett's winged locks. The vented hair brush bristles are typically spaced out fairly wide with extreme flexibility. There are large holes throughout the brush, allowing air to flow through when you are blow drying. This is the ultimate brush choice if you're looking for a quick hair dry, that will add volume and shape.

Round brushes are growing more popular by the day. Instead of grabbing curling irons and hot rollers, hair enthusiasts are choosing the healthier option which is the use of round brushes to create style and curls. Of course, the round brush is exactly what it says it is.... it's round! Go figure, right? These hair brushes are typically made of wood or plastic and are the ultimate tool for creating nice, crisp curls. The size of the brush will determine the size of the curls, so play around with different ones to get a whole variety of looks.

Last but definitely not least is the cushion brush, also known as the paddle brush. You know, the brush where the bristles are in the padded head. See, now you know what I'm talking about, right? This brush is the ultimate choice for every day brushing and is ideal for those with long locks as it's designed to fold in when it meets resistance., ultimately leaving your hair healthier than ever!
