Getting The Perfect Curl With A Styling Brush
February 8, 2010
Most of us are used to picking up our curling iron to curl our hair. Some of us use hair straighteners if we are looking for a loose curl, and then there are the hot rollers that will provide our hair with curl. For those of us who have short hair, or layered hair with shorter lengths, I have found a wonderful, fairly new to the marketplace, 1″ styling brush.
Spornette, who makes a wonderful collection of styling brushes, has now added what they call the Spornette 1″ Boar Rounder. This lightweight styling brush is aerated and has boar bristles. Boar bristles on this brush are great because not only will you be contributing to your hair health, boar brushes also remove shed hair which is great while you are in the process of styling. Any time that you can integrate a boar bristle brush into your styling routine, you will be glad that you did. The benefits of a boar bristle brush, whether it be for curling, styling, or just brushing through your hair, you will be enjoying the fact that these type brushes help distribute your natural healthy oils from the scalp to the ends.
What I liked about the Spornette 1″ Boar Rounder brush was that the bristles held my fine hair extremely well while blow-drying each section of hair. The aerated feature helped to calm down some of the heat coming from the dryer and as I unrolled each section of hair from the brush, the hair came out very easily and the curl was just as tight as if I had used my curling iron.
My only word to the wise is to just be aware that any styling brush that has a metal core, will take on the heat from your hairdryer (this is what helps form the curl with your brush) and you want to be certain you are not touching it with your fingers or getting it close to your face or scalp.
