The Best Tools to Tame Volume and Frizz
I totally get it. When you're creating your wish list of dream hair products, brushes, combs and the basic everyday stuff are usually at the bottom of that list. Like the very best and most essential things in your life you reach for your brushes and combs multiple times a day - and if you’re not, we are going to have a separate conversation. As basic and boring as it is, having the right brush is super important when it comes to caring for your hair.
A month or so ago, a Tousled reader, Eleny, an expat in South East Asia, contacted me via the comments section to ask about all the tool things for her wavy Type 2 hair that can be difficult in the humidity of her current climate.
Note to all: Contact us with questions and we’ll get back to you with maybe and entire blog post!
Hey Eleny! The following are a range of tool suggestions just for your Type 2 hair and keep it looking healthy and beautiful! We recommend the following :
Sephora Collection Nylon Paddle Hair Brush
The flexible nylon bristles are designed for detangling, and are particularly well-suited for detangling wet hair. The brush is also great for detangling and smoothing hair when applying conditioner or hair treatments. It can be used in water, and can also be used on dry hair to detangle or style.
The bristles feature ball-point tips to prevent scratching the scalp, and the handle is designed with an ergonomic grip.
Mason Pearson's Detangling Comb features individually cut, wide-set of teeth effectively designed to smooth out hair with gentle precision. It is designed to separate and un-kink hair, allowing you to style with ease. Each comb has a smooth, tapered edge which glides easily through the hair with less pulling and tugging.
Olivia Garden NanoThermic Contour Brush
It’s no secret we’ve been a fan of Olivia Garden hair tools for some time. Hair Type 2’s can’t go wrong with this versatile and hard working hair brush. The NanoThermic Contour combines Ionic and 100% boar bristles with convenient ball tip ends. You can use this brush to straighten, curl or add controlled (controlled being the key word) volume to your hair. The ion technology reportedly removes frizz and fly-a-ways! Score!
Wet Brush Shine Enhancer Hair Brush
We’ve saved the best for last. So this brush has been reviewed super highly in our research. The shine brush is the perfect blend of specially formulated Intelliflex bristles and 100% pure boar bristle of premium grade. The Intelliflex takes care of the tangles, frizz and the pure boar bristle takes care of the shine by spreading natural oils from the scalp along the whole shaft of the hair resulting in smoother, healthier, soft and manageable hair. Honestly you can't go wrong with this brush. OH YEAHHHHHHH and it’s about $9.00 USD!
So there you have it! We’ve done the research so you don’t have to. Hair Type 2’s leave your thoughts on your favorite hair tools below. Have you tried any of the above? Will you give them a go? Do you have any other questions for us? We want to hear from you! Leave a comment below!
