If you're desperately seeking straight hair, a flat iron seems like the obvious tool to reach for — after all, a good one can help make your hair sleek, shiny and pin-straight. That said, if you've found that the process of detangling your hair before having to section off your strands and make multiple passes with a straightener to be a time suck, there's an easier way to achieve a perfectly straight 'do.
Enter: hair straightening brushes, which work as a flat iron and a brush in one, to help streamline the smoothing process. Hair straightening brushes are exactly what they sound like — these tools are hair brushes that heat up, so you're effectively brushing and detangling your hair as you straighten it. These genius tools work on a variety of hair types, and the result is frizz-free, shiny hair in a single step.
Quick tip: Unlike hair dryer brushes, you should never use a hair straightening brush on damp hair, and make sure to spray on a heat protectant before you get started.
At the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab, we're constantly testing hair tools like curling irons, blow dry brushes and curling wands, keeping factors like ease of use, smoothing and durability in mind — so we're well versed in what makes a good hair tool. Based on our categorial expertise in hair tools, as well as consumer feedback and glowing online reviews, these are the top picks for hair straightening brushes at every price point and for every hair type.
