Best Round blow drying brush for fine, damaged hair

8 replies

MrPanks · 29/01/2021 10:30

I have thinning hair that breaks easily and new growth tends to have a sort of candy floss texture as its greying (I stopped colouring it a few years ago). I really want to try and improve its condition, so I've bought myself a Dyson hairdryer, which is on its way. I've seen a Youtube clip by Nadine Baggot and she swears by a YS Park hair brush with boar bristles, but its eye-wateringly expensive on top of the hair dryer I've just bought. Can anyone recommend something similar that's cheaper, or should I save up for a YS Park?

I have damaged hair after highlights. I think ~£20 would get you a decent brush.

I currently use the tangle teezer wet brush which is for fragile hair. I also have a large GHD barrel brush, GHD paddle brush & a smaller boar bristle barrel brush from Boots. I just find that the wet brush gives similar results in faster time whilst being gentle

Just a thought, but rather than just the hairdryer, would you be better off with the full Airwrap system?

I have very fine, damaged hair (think bleach damage, grey roots, post partum hair loss regrowth) and find that bristle brush attachment great for adding volume.

Thanks for the recommendations. I shall check out the GHD brushes. I did consider the Airwrap, but for various reasons I decided that I'd try the dryer, but thanks anyway, I'll bare it in mind.

@ sofiaaaaaa - I've just been on Boots website and they dont have any boar bristle brushes. Did you get it in store, and if so, can you remember what brand it is please?

The Remington hydra luxe brush is good. I have fine highlighted hair.

Sorry. Link not working. Anyway / it’s a good one!

Don’t! Let it dry naturally if you can.

The brand is Goody. I bought it years ago and assumed Boots still sell it, but actually it seems they discontinued the brand! Sorry. They do have a couple from another brand under “natural bristles”

GHD has a “natural bristle” range too which are probably good.
