Type of brush: large paddle

Use it for Brushing, styling and blow-drying long hair. “As it covers a large area it’s good for quick, easy styling,” says Caterina DiBiase of Melbourne’s Heading Out salon. “Paddle brushes can also be used to help smooth down thick hair.”

The technique When blow-drying, section your hair, pin up the top section and work through the bottom area first; then release the top section and repeat.

Buyer’s Guide “As this is a big and inflexible brush, a handle with a grip makes it easier to move through the hair,” says DiBiase.
