A test of a good brush is that it should not feel sharp or scratch your hand when you run it across the bristles.
For those of you that need to create tension, a good round
bristle brush that glides through the hair is hard to beat for getting a
smooth, glossy look. It also
helps to distribute the natural oils of your tresses. The larger the
barrel, the easier it is to get your locks straight.
Made from beech wood and filled with stiff black bristle
this a good quality brush from Kent, a highly-reputed manufacturer. It is
better to dry your hair until it just slightly damp and then style.
This brush really helped to improve my blow-dry. It gripped the hair well and glided through it easily. It is probably better
for it than a heat
retaining brush.

Retaining Core (£13.75, stockists: www.kentbrushes.com)
This brush helps quicken up drying time as the heated barrel
moulds the shape of the hair. The holes help to dry both sides at the same
time. You do not get as much tension but the heat of the brush does make the
hair smooth. Be careful not to hold it in one place for too long. If you have
fine hair use a medium setting on your dryer. Use the cool button to set each
section once you have finished styling it.
To keep your hair healthy you should do as little to it as
possible. Use tools and heated appliances as sparingly as you can and try and
go as long as you can between hair-colouring appointments.
