This month’s issue of Shop Til You Drop magazine gives you a mini brush cool-down on the pro tools you need and why. And the brush of choice for volume – the Brushworx Keratin Silk Vent Hair Brush.

 “VOLUME: Brush hair against where it falls with a vented brush that lets air pass through. TRY: Brushworx Keratin Silk Vent Brush.” Pg 177.

Whilst the Brushworx Keratin Silk Vent Hair Brush is ideal for most hair types, if your hair is extra long (well past your shoulders) you may want to try a vent with a slightly larger paddle surface. Try: Brushworx Keratin 230 Curved Vent Brush, which offers an extra large 7.5cm wide surface. Engineered to be used with heat appliances, the wider surface will allow you to grab and hold more hair per brush stroke helping to speed up the process.

Or if lack of shine and gloss is your issue, this is especially preverlant for hair coloured blonde, use a vent with a ceramic base plate like the BaBylissPRO Ceramic Vent Brush. During blow-drying the ceramic surface encourages the cuticle of the hair shaft to close producing a smoother surface which reflects more light.

Is there a brush you love and use for adding volume to your hair other than a vent? Or do you have another technique for creating volume when blow-drying? We’d love to hear from you…
