Best brushes for different types of hair

1. Best for backcombing

Create volume and body at-home with a brush that's specifically designed for backcombing. The rectangular shape and bristle placement make teasing tricky areas (like your crown) a breeze. Bonus: the pointy handle can be used for sectioning hair or defining your part. 

Boar Bristle Teasing Brush, $36, Moroccan Oil.

3. Best for a blowout

The ceramic core of this round, thermal brush heats up like a curling iron to help you get a Victoria's Secret-worthy blowout at home. We recommend you use it in conjunction with a high-quality blow dryer.
