Promising review: "You know how you have a car chapstick, a purse chapstick, a desk chapstick, a bedside table chapstick, etc.? I do that with these brushes. I have long, fine, tangly hair and this is the perfect little brush for when you have 5 seconds to get presentable before running into an appointment. Doesn’t pull or rip, easy to clean, perfect size, cute and aesthetic. The fact that it’s a hard, shiny plastic means it won’t get gross and linty from living in the bottom of your bag. Highly recommend." —Maura K

Promising review: "II’m really happy I chose this brush. I live in a humid climate and needed something to help tame the frizzes. I consider my hair length as long as it’s about 5 inches below my shoulders. After using this for a week now, I noticed a definite improvement with the smoothness of my hair. It feels great on the scalp and works beautifully when using a hairdryer. Some say it’s heavy or hard to hold… I don’t feel that way at all.. I am 69 and have small hands and I purchased the large. It’s super easy to hold and not heavy. Being a boar bristle brush, it does need to be cleaned carefully, and they have so graciously included a wonderful little cleaner that makes quick work getting the hair out. I highly recommend this brush." —JC

Promising review: "When my new hairdresser suggested I purchase this brush, I kind of rolled my eyes. I mean, a hairbrush is a hairbrush — they all work the same. Boy, was I wrong! To say a hairbrush can be life-changing may sound dramatic, particularly from a 44-year-old woman who’s never really put forth an effort with her frizzy mop of hair, but this brush (and an awesome hairdresser) has suddenly given life to my hair. I’m regularly getting compliments on my hair. I’m able to still be super lazy with my hair and have it look great. I could not possibly be more pleased with this thing." —J. Ayers

Check out this TikToker using this bad boy to detangle their matted 4c hair.

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love my brush!!! I am tender-headed, and finding a brush that gets rid of tangles without feeling as if chunks of my hair are being ripped out is amazing! I don’t have to use detangling spray with this brush, and it works fast to get the tangles out. It used to take me 2+ hours to brush out my hair (long, easily tangles), but now it only takes 45 minutes. I love mine so much I have recommended this brush to everyone I know, and bought one for my in-laws." —Alyssa Reed

"I saw this advertised on Instagram when a mom couldn't detangle her daughter's thick, and there was no editing, and the brush just glided through the little girl's hair. I was skeptical bc of 'movie magic,' but it wasn't edited, so I went ahead and bought it to see for myself. This brush lives up to the hype. It detangles my hair like no other. I'm African American and I got one for my niece and her mom (her mom is Mexican and white with very curly hair), and my friend has one for her daughter (Persian/Black with very coarse hair). It works like a miracle for all of us." —Dani3ll

Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in 27 colors).

Promising reviews: "I realized that the shower hairbrush I’ve had for years probably had mold growing in the padded base. I love this brush as it’s all hard plastic and will allow the brush to dry after using it post-shower. I was shocked to find that the design of it actually gives it a lot of flex, so it’s really comfortable to use. Feels like a padded/spongy brush!" —Anne Schwab

"This is the best hairbrush I have owned in my 38 years of life, without a doubt! It detangles like magic, doesn't pull, and leaves my hair looking fantastic, completely eliminating frizz and emphasizing my natural wave. Even my young kids like it and that is really saying something! It's also very attractive. I strongly recommend!" —Marjorie L. Spaeth

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 13 colors and two gift sets).

Promising review: "Wow! This tool is so powerful! One slow pass, and my hair is sleek, shiny, and beautiful! Looks like I had a professional blowout! So affordable, too! Just get it!" —Jordan Parke

Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Aire 360 Blowout kit! This is my first time owning anything from this brand, and my hair appreciates this tool big time! I love doing my hair at home to save money at the salon, and this kit takes the cake on how easy it is to do it all by yourself. I love its noise level; it isn’t loud when operating (compared to the Shark FlexStyle kit). I love how easy the base is to hold and grip, leaving my arms feeling good while using it. My favorite attachments are the drying concentrator and oval brush. The concentrator helped prep my hair for the oval brush to take my salon finish look to the finish line. I love how the oval brush didn't catch or rip out hair. Beware because this can deliver the heat. Overall, my blowout lasted a solid four days before the grease became too noticeable to wear my hair down freely. My hair had lots of volume and shine and felt so light on my head after I finished styling it. I’m always going to use this kit at home. And I mean always! I can’t forget the tote bag that helps store the kit, making it super easy to take everywhere! Where has T3 been all of my life?" —Tall One

Reviewers are also using this for slicked-back hairstyles and their beards!

Promising review: "I recently bought this brush for my husband, and it has quickly become his go-to grooming essential. This brush is a game changer for achieving perfectly styled hair. What impressed my husband the most was the versatility of this brush. Not only does it work wonders on his hair, but it also does an exceptional job on his beard. The bristles reach through facial hair, ensuring a neat and well-groomed appearance. The 100% boar bristles provide excellent control and smoothness, helping to define and enhance his natural beard waves effortlessly. The sturdy construction and comfortable grip make it easy for him to incorporate into his daily routine, and he appreciates the durability. Overall, the brush has exceeded our expectations, proving to be an indispensable tool for anyone looking to elevate their hair and beard grooming game." —Nourhen Brahem

Promising reviews: "LOVE these for a few reasons: not made of boar hair, soft and doesn’t hurt but sturdy enough to control the hair, and pretty colors. Buy them! ;)." —Another Customer

Promising review: "At the start of 2024, I began my curly hair journey, fully switching to pro-curl products — diffusers, balms, creams, etc. My hair had a healthy but light waviness UNTIL I got this Define EdgeLift Brush by Bounce Curl. THIS BRUSH WORKS! I actually have spiral curls when I use this styling brush on my hair. This is not a drill. This is the real deal! I have gone from wild hair lady to strangers complimenting me wherever I go, which is just a nice added bonus to finally liking my hair at 40+ years old. =) Thanks, Bounce Curl!" —Hannah

Promising review: "This was the best purchase ever. I had braids and took them down three months later, and if I didn't have this brush to get the knots and tangles out, I don't know what I would have done. I swear by this brush. It's a must-have. I have type 3c coil hair if you are wondering, but I recommend it for all hair types if you deal with knots and tangles." —Monica

Promising reviews: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z

"I have suffered from dry scalp and dandruff for years. I recently shaved my head and realized just how bad my scalp really was. Red irritated spots everywhere that became very easy to see with my short hair. After using this product along with a coconut oil moisturizer for three days, my scalp is already healing. The product is easy to hold, easy to clean, and feels great on an itchy scalp. I also don’t have dandruff flakes at all anymore. Trust me, you won’t regret purchasing this product!" —Britt

Promising review: ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS OOOOMMMMGGG!!! I was skeptical at first, but given the reviews, I figured I’d give it a try. I’m African American and have curly, kinky coils...in between the realm of type 3/4, IDK, to be honest. All I know is that when I went to detangle my fro after a long day, this brush easily slid through. I had to double-take! I didn’t have to start with a wide-tooth comb; I just dove right in. My hair is THICK! After each stroke, I kept looking at the brush like, 'What type of sorcery is this!?' And to top it off, ZERO BREAKAGE!!! Buy this brush!!!!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I prefer this teasing brush over a comb. It makes teasing faster and does a great job of smoothing over the top. Your backcomb will last with this teasing brush." —ddsabey

Get it from Amazon for $9.97.

Promising review: "I'm so pleased with this brush. Unlike my old brush, these bristles stay popped out when using and styling. When you're done, you push in the center of the bristles for it to pop back in and then fold it in half for travel. The mirror is a bonus because I always pack a small mirror when traveling. We are traveling to Africa and need everything to be compact and sturdy, so this is perfect. I recommend." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I use it on my wavy, frizzy hair to lay it back for ponytails, slick backs, buns, and such. It has pretty hard bristles, which I look for in a brush. I don’t recommend it for detangling, though." —Drea

Get it from Amazon for $6.95.

The brush's design smooths the hair, and the round edges create volume — leaving you with bomb hair without having to go to the salon. It also has three heat and speed settings and a cooling option.

Promising review: "I adore my new 2-in-1 Revlon styling tool!! I have very coarse, thick, frizzy hair. I have been damaging my hair with a flat iron for years — it's bad for my hair and takes me forever to finish. This tool does not tangle my hair at all! It's so easy to use and a lot quicker than using a blow dryer first, then a flat iron. I have told several friends and relatives about this product. It also leaves my hair shiny and smooth!!" —Brandi

Get it from Amazon for $33.12.

Oh! Revlon also has a One-Step Styler SPECIFICALLY FOR CURLY HAIR for $31.95! Over 47,000 curly babes with hair from 2a to 4c are looooving this blow-dryer enough to give it 5-star ratings.

Promising review: "I never thought I'd have a hair brushing experience where I wasn't literally tearing out my hair. NO LONGER! My hair is extremely, ridiculously thick — not curly, but a little wavy. The kind that's constantly getting tangled and is a pain to work through even when dry. I bought this product hoping for a lifeline, and this was IT! Never before has a brush glided through my hair, all silky smooth. It's a pain getting the hair off the bristles, but a miracle that it can even brush my hair to begin with. I've snapped combs brushing my hair before. Do you realize how ridiculous that is? (Yes, they were cheap, but still). I'm sorry if I'm being over dramatic, but this thing has simply been the best $8 I've ever spent. I don't even like the color purple, but this brush has been so good to me that I don't even mind it now." —Jessica Huynh

Get it from Amazon for $6.18+ (available in 18 colors/designs).

Promising review: "Where has this brush been all my life?!!! I wish I had known about this earlier! The brush glides through my hair without tugging or pulling my extensions out. It's super soft and brushes all the way to my scalp. I love the feeling, and it keeps my hair from becoming a ratty mess. Super lightweight but does the job of a heavy-duty hairbrush!" —icrews reviews

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in a travel size).

Promising review: "Best hair brush made. This is my third Mason Pearson brush. I have one that is easily 20 years old and still as good as when I first bought it (in England). I wanted a small one and bought two less expensive brushes that just did not meet my needs so I decided not to waste money on an inferior brush and bought another Mason Pearson brush. The bristles are just stiff enough. They hold up well — none ever fall out. I have curly hair and it manages it very well. It's an expensive brush but will last decades." —jjm3fp

Get it from Amazon for $140.

Promising review: "At first I was hesitant about this brush...it was kind of expensive, and I don't like brushes with stiff bristles. But I'm SOOOO glad I decided to get it. In terms of function, it does what any brush would. Drying your hair goes about as fast as any brush with gaps to let air through. And I feel like the bristles are JUST stiff enough to be functional but not break your hair (I have very fine hair). But the best part of this brush is its shape. It feels SO GOOD to brush my hair now. The way it curves on my scalp is amazing! It literally feels like someone running their fingers and nails gently along your scalp in a very pleasant way. I don't know how long it will last, but I 100% would buy again." —PhD hiker girl

Get it from Amazon for $25.90+ (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "I like everything about this brush. I like the size of it. I like the sleek handle and the fact it is easy to store in my hair drawer. Good purchase and although I don't use it often, it seems to be lasting. I've had it for about six months now. I only use it when I blow dry my hair which is only about once a month. Based on that and how it is holding out; I would say it is worth the purchase." —WiseShopper Dee
