We’ve seen that a lot of people are choosing a brush to straighten their hair, as opposed to a traditional flat iron. I'm not talking any ordinary hair brush - but a heated hair straightening brush.

There’s many reasons for this. If you’re a girl and you’re tired of the flat iron creasing your hair, see why a brush that straightens hair is a better option.

What is a hair straightening brush?

Essentially they are a heated hair brush. They plug in like a usual hair flat iron does. They tend to have a adjustable temperature setting so you can adjust according to your hair type.

Are they better than hair straighteners?

1. You do not have to be afraid of having your skin/scalp being burnt or hurt when using a hair brush. It is safer to use than a hair flat iron.

2. They work on all hair types, but I think they are definitely more effective to those with finer hair.

3. They are very versatile and you can easily use them to curl and style your hair. As with hair straighteners, make sure you choose a hair straightening brush that is made with ceramic so that you minimize potential damage to hair. They are not designed to be used on wet hair.

4. Hair straightening brushes will give you a more natural look. You are able to create curls and a bit more volume than traditional flat irons. But if you are after super straight hair, hair straighteners will be more effective.

In comparison to hair straighteners they are very new to the hair and beauty market. I think given time these will become the more popular choice when choosing what to buy to effectively straighten your hair.

I have fine hair, so I prefer a hair straightening brush to a flat iron, what about you?
