Hair Brushes<\/b><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]You can\u2019t style hair if it\u2019s full of tangles. The first step will almost always be to brush out your client\u2019s hair, so it\u2019s smooth and knot-fee! Different brushes come with different bristles, which can impact the hair\u2019s volume and drying time. It\u2019s important that you know what each brush does, so you know when is the best time to use it.\n\nSome of the different types of bristles include:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Natural bristles<\/strong> \u2013 usually made of boar or hog hair. They are gentle on hair, and best used for daily brushing.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Nylon bristles <\/strong>\u2013 usually made of plastic, nylon, or rubber. Requires some stiffness, while still being flexible. These bristles are great for styling hair.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Porcupine bristles <\/strong>\u2013 made of small, evenly-spaced tufts of bristles. Each tuft is made up of a combination of natural <em>and <\/em>nylon fibers. These bristles are great for styling, while remaining gentle on hair.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Metal bristles <\/strong>\u2013 made of metal, and often very stiff. For this reason, do NOT use on your client\u2019s hair! These bristles are best used <em>only <\/em>one synthetic wigs and\/or hair pieces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe way the brush is shaped can also affect its use and purpose. Here are some examples of staple brush types to have in your <a href=\"\/2018\/05\/hair-dressing-vs-hair-styling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hair styling<\/a> kit:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Paddle brushes <\/strong>\u2013 these are wide and typically shaped as a rectangle. In addition to smoothing hair and reducing static, they\u2019re great for long hair and straight styles.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Roller, curling, and\/or round brushes <\/strong>\u2013 these are most often shaped like cylinders. When used with heat, these brushes can add volume to your client\u2019s roots, as well as add loose curls.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Volumizing brushes <\/strong>\u2013 these brushes have less bristles than round brushes, as well as holes to allow warm air flow. Also known as \u201cvent brushes\u201d, they are fantastic for styling hair.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Smoothing brushes <\/strong>\u2013 these are your average, day-to-day brushes. Thanks to their natural and\/or nylon bristles and rubber cushion, they\u2019re excellent at smoothing, detangling, and reducing static in hair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;41971&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>2. Combs<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Due to their smaller size, combs don\u2019t allow for the same surface area coverage as brushes. They require a gentler hand, and should not be hastily yanked through the hair. While typically less damaging to the hair when brushing, they\u2019re not quite as effective for styling. However, they make up for this with their ability to comb out tangles and \u201ctease\u201d hair at the roots.\n\nOnline beauty school will help teach you about which combs are best used as part of your job as a hair stylist, such as:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Tail combs <\/strong>\u2013 designed with a pointed tip, to help you divide your client\u2019s hair into sections and parts.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Pick combs <\/strong>\u2013 these have evenly-spaced \u201cteeth\u201d to help separate curls, add volume, and create a softer look.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Fine and medium combs <\/strong>\u2013 fine combs have thin, closely-spaced teeth, whereas medium combs have thicker teeth which are more widely spaced. Both combs are great for back combing and detangling your client\u2019s hair.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Wide tooth combs <\/strong>\u2013 with their slightly thick, evenly-spaced teeth, these combs are best at working conditioner through wet hair and detangling knots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>3.

Remember: other heating tools \u2013 such as straighteners and curling wands \u2013 can NEVER be used on damp or wet hair!\n\nTo dry hair safely, the only tool you can use is a hair dryer.\n\nThat being said, there\u2019s more than one kind of hair dryer.
