4. Round Brush For Thin Hair
If using the paddle brush is not your cup of tea, try the round brush instead. Trust us, this baby is a boon to womanhood.

5. Oval Brush For Frizzy Hair
We all know that frizzy hair and combs do not go hand in hand. Either the comb gives way or it gets stuck in the hair. That’s why, before you groom your hair, you should always use a product to prevent split ends and dry hair. After you’ve ticked off that task, move to the kind of brush you’re going to use. Try getting your hands on the narrowest brush. This baby helps tame your hair by flattening it out.

Handy tip: Stroke gently and patiently to unlock knots in order to prevent hair from getting damaged. Price: Rs 868. Buy it here.
7. Thermal Brush For Stylish Hair
Unlike the other brushes we’ve mentioned, this one is used solely for styling purposes. Because of its ceramic/ thermal core, the brush gets heated when used with a dryer, and that really helps set your hairstyle. Handy tip: Don’t just stick to one style or straightening; experiment with different styles to make the best use of this brush! Once it gets heated, curl the ends with it to use it like a curling wand. Price: Rs 475. Buy it here. Featured Image: Shutterstock
