The real benefits for your hair
Drying with a brush (round brush) is an essential step in modern haircare, not only for aesthetics, but also for health and management of the hair fiber. That is why it is a preferred practice today over free drying.
Why using a brush is advantageous over air-dry
1. Shinier, more disciplined hair
Brush drying "seals" the cuticles by channeling hot air evenly. This creates a smooth, soft and shiny effect that is not achieved facially with air-dry, where the cuticles remain open and the effect is more matted.
2. Reduces frizz and tangles
Air-drying can leave hair frizzy and tangled. Drying with a brush, on the other hand, helps tame hair and reduce frizz, as well as contributing to the "tidy hair" effect by reducing mechanical damage caused by rubbing between strands.
3. Tailored volume and styling
Using a brush allows you to create volume at the roots, curl the ends for a professional smooth finish depending on the technique and type of brush used.
4. Faster and more versatile
Brush-drying is often more efficient than air-drying, especially for those with long or thick hair. It also allows you to style the look better, saving time and avoiding the risk of nicks or waiting time.
Practical tips and precautions
-
Heat protection: Applying a good heat protectant is necessary to reduce the risk of breakage and keep hair protected while drying and styling.
- Proper technique: It is suggested to dry the hair up to 80% at low temperature, then use a styling brush. This approach significantly reduces any damage to the fiber.
- Attention to traction: If used on very wet hair or if excessive traction is exerted, the brush can cause breakage or stress. Best to proceed on semi-dry hair and with moderate, gentle movements.
Brush drying provides a smooth, shiny finish with volume and control, all of whichair-dry does not always guarantee. With the right heat protection and partial, technical drying, it is an everyday ally for professional styling at home while reducing hair damage.
