Don't Forget To Live Your Extra Life.
Hi beautiful something i learned very quickly growing up with a lot of friends that were girls also known as girlfriends, not to be confused with the girls that guys date. I did that a couple times. It didn't work out for me, um and now we're here, but besides that, i found out that a lot of girls don't know which hair brushes do what which hair brush is best for your hair type and which brush is best for your desired style. I know i had one friend that would use a ceramic round brush to detangle her hair after coming out of the shower. You know who you are and i'm scarred from that, and i know she's, not the only one who's done that so stop today, we'll be going over some of my favorite hair brushes to use for both curly hair, wavy, hair and straight hair. I also want to mention quickly that if i do not mention the brush you currently have, then i probably hate that brush now, i'm just kidding, i don't know everything. So if the brush that you use is not in this video, then i probably just don't use it in real life, it doesn't mean it's terrible, doesn't mean it's bad. Just means that it's not something that i find to be necessary or ideal for any hair types or textures. I'Ve used a lot of brushes in my life have a lot of experience with brushes, and these are my favorites. Let'S get into some brushes. Let'S do this and by the way you guys, i will do my best to link as many of these items i can below so that if you would like to purchase any of these items, you can with the links provided. Firstly, let's go over some of my favorite combs. Firstly, we have the wonderful world of the rat tail comb, the rat tail comb. Oh this girl, oh she's, great, for hair, styling, she's great for hair coloring, but we're only going to go over the styling benefits today. This is great for sectioning hair for braiding. This is great to get really nice teasing or backcombing in the hair to add volume, because the teeth are so close together. You can really get that back, combing really tight and it's great to get those clean, perfect sections. You love and that are so satisfying. This is just a great little detailing tool, the regular comb. It is half wide tooth and then half is very, very close teeth all right. So this comb is ideal for haircuts, because you can easily get those knots out with the wider side and then you can really perfect the hair and smooth it out with the closer teeth. However, it is nice to use for styling purposes because of the fact that you can get such a good grip on it and with the rat silk comb, the grip isn't as nice and as thick as this one. It just depends what kind of grip you want! You know you can totally use this to back comb, pretty versatile tool great for many things, just a great thing to have around the wide tooth comb. The wide tooth comb is essential to combing out knots in your hair when your hair is wet. This is great. This is going to be super gentle on your knots. It'S not going to pull your hair. You can work from the bottom up, that's important! You have these really wide spaces in between the bristles you're, not gon na get much pulling it's gon na, be pretty gentle on the hair. This is also great to use in the shower. With a hair mask, you can distribute the hair mask nicely throughout each hair. Strand and get it very, even i also love to use this comb when i'm using hair products on a client spray all the products in get all that foam in and get all that mousse in and get all that, whatever you're putting in their hair and then Brush it all through, i love to distribute hair products throughout the hair with a wide tooth comb. Next we have a teasing brush or a teasing comb. You could call it now. I like to use this as more of a tool to brush out my teasing. Typically i'll use a rat tail comb and then i will use my teasing comb to brush out the backcombing that i had previously put in with this brush. And that's because this brush does a really nice job of just smoothing out the hair and not detangling it. When you're backcombing, you do want to keep those tangles in there, because that is what's creating the volume. This is a great brush to just go over at the top of your hair with and just smooth out that teasing and because it has bore bristle brushes. It is great at adding shine and just gently detangling and not pulling your hair and also keeping the volume intact. Now that we've reviewed all of the combs, let's go over detangling brushes, shall we now, i'm sure most of you guys have a detangling brush at home. They are amazing, i mean it took a long time for people to catch on to this, but brushes that are really bendy. The bristles are super bendable. Those are amazing for brushing out wet hair great for brushing out really really matted hair, because the bristles are so bendable, you can really get in there and it won't pull out your hair and won't be too aggressive. However, i have seen people use brushes like this aggressively and it's concerning be gentle with your hair. You guys, you show your hair love and your hair will show you love back okay, so let's be gentle with it and not put too much pressure and yank the hair when we're brushing with these brushes and again, this is the same sort of brush, but a Different sort of handle on it, these ones are great because you know they're still really bendy. The bristles are really soft and you can get a nice grip on it. These are pretty essential to anybody's brush collection. Great little items here, love you. I love you thanks for being here: okay, bye and what's this hello, hello, hello, hello, hi, cuties, welcome these are ceramic round brushes. These are oh essential. I don't think i could live without a ceramic round brush. These are amazing. I use these on most people. Okay, these are ideal for that amazing glam blowout moment all right, because this is ceramic plated. It is going to heat up and sort of act as a gentle curling iron, because when the blow dryer hits the brush, it heats up and then curls the hair. So you're gon na get a lot of volumizing benefits with this you're. Also gon na get a lot of curling benefits. With this and depending on what size you go with a smaller one, will give you a lot of curl a medium size will give you less and a larger size will just give you a bit of a bevel on the ends and a lot of body and A lot of volume you can also use these to really smooth out your hair, sleek and straight just avoid rotating the brush a lot and use it more as just a flat brush. It'Ll still give you a little bit of bevel, but you can also use these to make your hair straight, but it's never going to be pin straight like how it would be with some other brushes we'll go over soon. But these i really only use if i want the hair to have nice body, nice volume or nice. Curl. Great item super essential, probably my favorite. You can really make any style with a ceramic round brush and also most round brushes. Come with this attachment on the bottom, so you can actually part the hair without a comb, and this goes right back inside a lot of people. Don'T realize that these are here. I sometimes forget, but yeah that is actually to part the hair. So you don't have to put down the brush or the blow dryer and pick up your comb, and it saves you time and effort the boar bristle round brush. Now these are natural bristles. Yes, they are from boars okay. These ones that i have are my absolute favorites. This is the ibiza brush a great brush. They are a little pricey. However, you get what you pay for now we have a more bendable one. We have a stiffer one, but in general these are great to really smooth out the hair. They take a little bit more effort and patience. It definitely prolongs my blow-dry a little bit, but i'm okay with that. If the result is better, i typically use these on people with very frizzy hair, very curly hair that would like a straight sleek look or a look with nice body and bevel, but really it needs a lot of smoothing. These also provide a lot more grip than the ceramic brushes do with this ceramic round brush. It has a lot of slip where these have a lot more tension, and i appreciate that when i'm trying to blow curly hair, because i need that tension to get that curl released. These do not heat up like the ceramic brushes. Do it just takes a lot more grip, a lot more strength and a lot more pulling the hair and getting it nice and taut to then blow dry and straighten in place. But the bore bristles are known to add a lot of shine and a lot of health to the hair. These bristles are also known to distribute oils throughout the hair very nicely, sometimes a very tricky brush to use, but very handy, especially for you hairdressers out there. This needs to be in your tool, kit, and you need to get used to using these it's hard at first, but it pays off great brushes. I'M obsessed with these we're cruising our way through this. I love it up. Next, we have a paddle brush. A paddle brush final brush is supposed to show up it's supposed to pop up. When i it's supposed to just appear: where is it uh? I actually cannot find my paddle brush anywhere. I don't use it a whole lot honestly, but it is a great tool. I don't do a ton of straight blow dries with paddle brushes, but if you're, the type of person who loves to have that really pin straight hair girl use one of these a paddle brush. The nylon bristles on a paddle brush are great for smoothing out hair and also the fact that it is completely flat and there is no bevel on the brush. It'S going to ensure that your ends have no bend to them and they are stick straight. These are amazing, really great for blowing out hair straight they're super easy to use great brushes all around. I have like a million of them and i can't find one of them. So that's good! Okay up next, we have my most expensive brush that i own by a landslide, which is the mason pearson brush. A lot of you may know what this brush is. It is a whopping 240. It will last you a lifetime, so it's worth it, but you know if you want to invest in great hair, a great brush to have it's a classic brush. It'S apparently been around for over a hundred years, which is crazy. I don't know how that's even possible, but all right we'll go with it. This brush has a mix of nylon and boar bristle brushes. That is just the perfect length. The perfect density all around a great perfect brush. This brush is amazing for just daily brushings. I wouldn't use this to blow dry. I wouldn't necessarily use this with any heat tools, because baby you want to take care of this thing. Heat is not good for it. I actually don't know if that's true, but i just wouldn't use heat with it. I use this as more of a brush on hair that has already been styled, or just people at home who want to brush their hair at the end of the day or in the morning when they wake up the reason. This is so great. These synthetic brushes in here do a great job at adding shine to the hair, as well as the bora bristle brushes, which is amazing for distributing oils throughout your hair strands. Taking the brush from root down is gon na make sure those oils get distributed nicely and you don't have like an oily root with dry ends. A lot of the issues with having an oily scalp can be resolved with the proper brush, because a lot of people don't know how to distribute their oils throughout their hair. Strand correctly, flip your head upside down, brush it out from roots to ends. Do it on the top really get in there and brush until that oil starts to dissipate? This is also known to help with scalp circulation and stimulating the scalp for new hair growth all around just a really great brush. That is just you know been around for 100 years, and people have tried it and people love it all right. Let'S move on the denman brush, also a classic. I don't know if this one's been around for 100 years, but something like that, i'm sure i mean this - this one's been around for a long time too, a staple a classic. This is great for every hairdresser. Now this is a more advanced brush, so i would recommend it for hairdressers. However, at home use it's a little more difficult, but you can totally do it if you're like willing to try and learn this brush has an amazing weight to it. It'S so small, yet they put a weight in there to weigh it down and make it feel very luxurious and give you a nice weight in your hand, so you don't drop it. I also just love the length the bristles i like that. There'S seven rows: it's not too wide. You can get really close to the scalp. It doesn't snag on the hair. It doesn't pull, there's also such a small bevel to the brush. So you can get that really nice, sleek and polished ends. You can bring the ends under or you can blow dry them very pin straight. It'S a great brush for shorter hair or people with curly hair that don't want their hair to snag on their brush. You'Ll never get snagging with this, but also you get nice tension because it has this rubber base on it. To give you just a slight amount of tension, so your hair doesn't completely slip out of the brush a great brush for many reasons and many uses. And lastly, we have the round paddle brush. It is a nice beautiful size. It has a mixture of the natural bristles, combined with the nylon bristles, which gives you great smoothing and great detangling properties. Also, these are just great for that flat beach wave. Look if you're trying to do it with a blow dryer, you can totally get it done with this thing, really get good with your hands and spinning it around. Once you can do this, you can do anything. That'S it you're, just gon na be able to do this again, though it's gon na be a little bit more work because there is no ceramic component to it. So it does not heat up a great brush to keep your hair healthy and smooth and shiny and add just a little bit of movement. Oh i'm, sorry and now. Lastly, let's go over which brush is best for which hair type and what your hair goals are. Are you trying to get your curly hair straight? Are you trying to get your hair wavy we'll go over that? Firstly, let's go over combs for hair that is straight or slightly wavy. A detangling brush is great to brush out wet hair. However, before you brush out your hair, please use a conditioning mess such as, oh, my god, that's so weird. I have one it's called hydromania and for curly hair people. If you're trying to get your hair straight and smooth and that's your desired result, use whatever comb or brush a wide tooth, comb is totally fine or a detangling brush is good too, because you're trying to go and blow it out later. It'S not really that important which brush you detangle with. First, however, however, however, if your goal is to wear your hair completely curly and in its natural state, please don't use a detangling brush for brushing out your hair use a wide tooth comb. This is going to make sure that your curl stays intact and you don't brush it out and mess it up and make it all frizzy you're welcome. Now, if you have straight or wavy hair - and you have insane amounts of frizz, you just feel like you - have the frizziest hair ever you're like get rid of it, go with a natural bristle brush. This will help a lot with that frizz before you blow dry spray, some force fields. I swear. That'S all the product placement i'm doing today. After that, i'm done um force field protects your hair up to 500 degrees fahrenheit, and also it's gon na provide a little bit of hold a little bit of detangling it'll, be really great for us. Make sure you shake this before you use it and also a little goes a long way. Don'T tell me, i never told you and then you're good to start blow drying. However, if you know your hair is not that frizzy, but it's straight or wavy to start, and you really want some bouncy curls well, this is not well. This could do it for you, but it's going to be a lot of work and you just don't need to our ceramic round brush. This is great for making that amazing volume, like i mentioned and you're gon na, get a lot of smoothing on your wavy hair and you're gon na get a lot of curling benefits on your straight hair. So use this. If you're trying to blow the damn hair and make it curly or very voluminous, and if you have straighter wavy hair or you have very curly hair use a paddle brush to get it very smooth and straight use a tail comb to make partings in your hair. This is great for braiding, curly hair. This is great for braiding any hair or making really nice center parts or getting a really nice part for your ponytail. We'Re just really smoothing out the hair with that comb, because the bristles are so close together. You can really get that ponytail, really snatched great for all hair types and textures and again, if your goal is to wear your hair, naturally curly and you don't want to blow it out - use a denman. Oh, my god, if you are a curly hair girl - and you don't own one of these they're, just like perfect for curls, they are made for curls. You take that little curl. You know when you have a little curl around your neck around your hairline. You just go like this with it and twist it and twist it down, and it makes that perfect, corkscrew, curl and just really makes it almost just so pretty looking. But you can go around all your hair and go like this and reform that curl really nicely before you diffuse or air dry. Your curls, just an amazing tool for curly hair people, also people who have say a bob great thing for you. It'S a great brush for you, because you can go in and give it a little bit of bevel. You can make it really straight. It'S so small! You can get it in those small places. You can get it in that short hair. It'S just a really great brush for those two things and say if you have straight hair or wavy, hair and or curly hair and you're, okay with brushing your curls and you just don't want to do anything to your hair or you're in between days of styling. Your hair, it's on the second day you just need to brush it out. Please use a mason piercing brush great for distributing oils, like i said before great for just maintaining your look, reforming, wave, smoothing everything out perfect for all hair types and textures. If you're, okay, with brushing your hair, i know you girls with curly hair, you can't do that a lot okay or also get frizz, but if you can brush mason, piercing or anything with a mix of nylon and bore bristles and boom. Those are some of my quick tips for you guys when using some of these brushes, what to use them for how to use them, what hair types are best for which brush you know i could keep going on for days. If you want to learn more, please just google, the brush that i talked about it'll tell you every single little detail about the brush. I don't have time to go over that today, but i went over my most important thoughts about each brush and each thing it's great for, and i hope that i expanded your view on brushes and why they're so important and so useful.

Comments
Luci: Brad: This $240 brush will last you a lifetime Me: *Looks over at the $3 brush I've used since 2004*
Josefine Devantier: Fun fact: The Mason Pearson brushes are also used for dogs, and you can get the EXACT SAME ONES in pet stores for half the price :-)
Kookey: Bold of you to assume that I have a brush collection Brad
yeetabix: bruv i didnt even know you had to use a specific brush for your hair type i thought you could just buy a random brush from the store and use it
Sneha P: I appreciate this guy in the way he delivers his content. He's got his priorities so darn sorted. Many creators look frustrated sometimes cause they're bashing their brains over manufacturing content after content consistently, but that struggle never appears in Mondo's videos (no pressure dude!). He's got this exited, genuinely passionate I-love-what-I-do vibe about him which I'm guessing comes from a balance of his practice as a hairstylist and entrepreneur. You're living your extra life for sure, man!
Niamh W: shoutout to anyone who has ever used one of those ceramic round brushes as a kid and got it stuck in their hair and had to tear it out whilst crying in pain
Taya Joan: My aunt gave me her mason pearson brush that she has had since 1970's, it will always and forever be my most favorite brush
jatpchemistry: "They are a little pricey" "These are great for frizzy hair" yep my hairs gonna be frizzy my whole life unless i become rich
Sunshine On My Mind: Then there's me who uses a $5 paddle brush for detangling, the shower, blow-drying, and pretty much anything I do with my hair ever. I always wondered why my natural wave is only around in the morning (before I brush my hair) lol
Bunny Caitlyn: "Be gentle with your hair! If you show your hair love, it will show you love back" #stophairabuse2021
Natalia Novoa: Brad Mondo is killing it with these tutorials during quarantine. Seriously... Thank YOU
felizmente ARMY: I would also like to recommend wooden brushes. They're anti-static, so less frizz! And also helps distribute the oil from your scalp evenly and nicely. They're very good for massaging your scalp too, which improves blood circulation... + more sustainable heheh
R O W M: Me and my Walmart brush are currently feeling like we’ve lived under a dirty, uninformed rock. I thought brushes were just that. I did always wonder what the round brushes were tho. Just “round brush” in my poor, target is a spurge for me, broke a$$ mind, Lol!! You rock!!
Niamh Clare Jackson: This explains why my mum (a hairdresser) is overprotective of all her brushes and won’t let me steal them
Fi ni: I'm so impressed of how much you include curly and wavy hair in your videos, because its usually really hard to find representation of that anywhere and its really nice because so many people do not know what to do with their curly hair :D
V4s3y: I can’t be the only one who thought there were only two kinds of brushes, the flat ones and the round ones.
Dakota Gaul: “And also most round brushes come with this attachment on the bottom!“ me: not mine, *checks* OMFG!!! It’s there! Thank you Brad!
San's Shiber: i’ve been using a detangling brush and always get sad when it makes my natural waves go away. now i know i’ve been using the wrong brush
iisunflowerxcloudz: Wow I never realized how pro my grandma is at haircare lol she has almost every single one of these brushes.
The Shmoopinator: The problem with the small plastic combs is that my hair is an impenetrable wall of knots. Its decently short and pretty straight but so freaking dense that it'll just break those.
Wait. What?: “These are ceramic round brushes” No they are trauma brushes
mackereltabbie: As a 50 year old woman who has had more or less this guy's haircut from my late teens until hairdressers closed down here last year... I really needed this. I've been working from home and have just let my hair grow, and now that actually meeting other people is hopefully going to be a thing soon, I need to be able to look like a human being
Mie Jensen: Not me having curly hair, using a paddle brush for years, and being like: "Why tf won't my curls hold?"... I can't even...
Smitty left me for Brittney!: The Denman brush is by far the best brush I've used for my naturally curly hair, this should be an automatic go-to for every curly-haired queen out there! Definitely, a game-changer when it came to smoothing out my curls and it helped with frizz too!
Nirrini: Brad: Look at this WIDE range of handy dandy brushes!~ Me: literally using 1 brush that I bought from The Body Shop back in 2013
Open World Girl: Who else has had a bad experience with being a kid and getting your hair really stuck in a ceramic round brush? ♀️
Jessica Devine: I truly appreciate these kinds of videos! My mother has super fine dead straight hair and I have 3B curls and I've been lost, and living with straightened hair - and you've helped me understand what I should do, and I can help my mama with her hair too. Never stop slaying, you're helping so many people.
Seeking Eudaimonia: I love how your wide comb has an ergonomic finger rest. Such a small detail, but so appreciated.
Prism-Yuuzuki: I use the boar round brush to style my bangs, but it’s getting hard because an autoimmune disease is destroying my wrists. Twisting motions are super painful.
Danielle Muncie: These comments are hilarious! I watched this more out of curiosity because I'm always surprised about how much people don't realize about brushes, but I also love and appreciate Brad's videos. One thing I just wish he mentioned (or really just touched on a little more when mentioning his products) is this--- no matter what you're doing to your hair, if it includes even a little heat, USE SOME KIND OF HEAT PROTECTOR. When you wash, conditioner is a very light form of heat protection but if you're blow drying and using styling tools, you must add something else! Listen to Brad y'all!
Rachel Mitchell: When a mannequin's hair is healthier than yours.
Mary Elizabeth: I have used boar brushes all my life, born in the post war era, that’s a long time. At 70. My hair is still soft with a shine. Helps after a hair cut to get the curls back. Love your show and explanation.
Aguest: I just want to know what brushes to use when I DON'T blow-dry my hair.
hrishitta: Thank you so much for this video oh my gosh. My entire life I've only used detangling brushes or paddle brushes and I hated how it always smoothened my curls but not even in a good way, it just looked frizzy and awkward and I thought the problem was just me brushing my hair but now I've realised the brush just did what it was supposed to do lmao I hope I can get a wide toothed comb soon✨
Miss Blackheath: This is the first I'm hearing of a denman being an advanced brush, I always assumed it was just a black staple, like every natural I know owns one. I've used mine so much the cheetah pattern is fading.
Odeleya: Am I the only one who’s traumatized by round brushes? I’ve gotten one stuck when I was a kid and it became a mess
Ilove4everandLonger: I wish my last hairdresser knew these brushes and their differences. She tried to brush my wet and tangled hair after she teased it before with a regular brush and I was literally dying and crying.
oops a sandwich: my hair is curly wavy and straight at the same time. it gets what it gets.
Jor H.: The second detangling brush was recommended to me by my hairdresser and it changed my life so much. No more pulling like crazy on my wavy hair to blowdry it
sicaromero: I only brush my curly hair in the shower or while straightening. Otherwise I am "in between styles".
Tasha B: "These are ceramic round brushes" Me: no, they are hair eating monsters.
Freya M-H: If I knew my Nan’s brush was gonna be worth a fortune I would have kept it! I do remember it giving me amazing shine tho
ahoward: This was...satisfyingly informative. What's your thought on a wooden hairbrush? I have been using one for a while now and I have always enjoyed it. What's your professional view? I grew up using boar brushes, they actually are really great. Get a good one and it will last you forever. I'm 26 an my mom still has the same one she used on me when I was 8 (don't worry, she washes it) . If you have long hair, you'll probably benefit from a brush that someone with short hair may find cumbersome (like a paddle brush. I don't own one, but if you have a LOT of hair, you may enjoy that extra surface area) You can watch videos on how to properly wash your brushes too if you use a lot of products in your hair. If there is build up on your brush, that's going to be going on your head!
Spirit: I’ve never in my life - thanks mom!❤️ - used a brush for my hair. Always used a wide-tooth comb for detangling my fine slightly wavy hair ☺️
dsantos10: I had no idea. Thank you. I have cosmetologists in my family and still had no clue. I figured out paddle brushes on my own with my super thick and soft hair. Now I know how and when to use the others. Thank youuuuu!
Ale: Today I learned that different types of brushes for different hairs exist
thechelseachannel: This was so helpful thank you! I have curly hair and it gets tangled easily and I want to wear my hair curly but I brush it out after I shower. It looks ok but I think once I use your tips it’ll look even better!
Kirsten Tries: I've always used just a detangling brush but now that I've seen this video, I'm going to get a boar bristle brush too. I've been having dandruff which can be caused by overproduction of oil, maybe by moving more oil to the ends will help!
Nini Li: Hi Brad! Thank you for this video! I, however, have a question. What are your opinions on wooden combs? For example, I comb my hair daily with a cherry blossom wood comb, which is apparently good for your hair.
Dommiwommi74: You are my hero. Thank you for this advice . My hair is so frizzy I never knew a simple boar hair brush would help me xx
lemony: When he keeps talking about “your brush collection” as if i have more than one brush
Emerald Chan: Thank you for all the tips! I’m new to styling my own hair and this is super helpful
Kitty Talks About Stuff: Thank you! I got rid of one useless brush Ive had forever. My hair is totally different from in the past so this was super helpful :)
Wellsley Hehr: My mo has been using Denman brushes her whole life and so have I (except for my seven years with dreads) Best daily brush ever for people who hate getting tangled out. Also it feels so damn good on my scalp.
AngelFrosthia: Those ”spiky” brushes is scary, fear of the hair getting stuck. From a bad experience of a electric one that once the hair rolled up it didn’t roll it back out. I had to tug the hair strands out constantly fearing ripping them off. Prefer a clasic curling iron non spiky.
MissNikki890: When you traumatized yourself as a child with a round brush so you don’t touch them lol yes it got tangled. Yes I had to cut it lol might revisit after this tutorial lol
Kat Spell: Brad! I needed you so much when I was in my 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. Now, I’m a 55 year old grandmother with purple hair and tattoos. Yeah, I rock, but I rock so much harder thanks to your tutorials. I now own a LOT of hairbrushes, top of the line styling tools and of course a TON of your styling products and I love them! My 7 year old granddaughter says “Bro, you have the coolest hair ever!” (She knows better than to call me Grandma I just love watching your videos, you always make me laugh and I always learn something. Love you, kid! Ps. Can I adopt you?
Robyn Hillier: I brush my hair maybe 5 times a year. Fine thin hair! I just like watching Brad!
Queen Scylla: So at the end of the day, I discovered I do use the right brush for my hair type. I have super curly hair and I like the curls. I use a wide tooth comb. Lmao.
Cicadas01: I really appreciate your contents, I was raised like a wild child and never learned self care until I would look it up myself. Now I am thinking of having my own child and would love to pass on those teachings.
paxtoncat: It’s a known fact that round brushes can sense peoples fear
ella anne: Turns out I was using most of these brushes wrong♀️ Thank you this was so helpful for me!!❤️❤️
Cindy Diggs.: Your videos provide a lot of excellent information — way more informative than the typical beauty video.
Nah Birdie: I love this. Also im glad to learn that ive been using the right brushes phewwwww got one thing right in life. My hair is curly and i use a boar bristle type brush. I dry the top of my hair well but the bottom i dry a little less. So it gets dry n removes frizz but i allow my natural curly to dominate as well. Leaving my hair in curly bounces at the bottom. Zero products. Very minimal frizz. (Country aint humid) otherwise i do use a detangling brush and a paddle brush for everyday brushing.
Andrea Vronska: Thanks Brad. I'm glad to know that I am using a proper brush (boar bristle brush) for my hair type (curly and frizzy) that I like to blow dry straight. It really does make my hair smooth and shiny. Now I'm off to buy me some Denman Brush since I just had my hair cut into a bob :)
charlie b: Brad should do a series where we send him pictures of our hair and then he tells us what we should do to make it better
Wild Wesley: There was a 4 year period where I “owned” 1 hair brush and it was lost most of the time. It was a thick hard bristle brush (commonly used to get waves) I would use to put my hair in tight ponytails or buns when it was long, but didn’t need when I cut it short. I have 3c/4a hair so I used a wide tooth comb to detangle when wet. I own one brush now to help spread curling creams through my hair more evenly but I use it rarely and only when wet.
Melosidhe: Once I discovered wet brushes I haven't touched anything else. I even lost my only comb and didn't care. Wet brushes are magical. What I took from this is that it's fine for my slightly wavy hair. Sweet.
Aleka Serrano: When I was little and with very long and tangly hair, I tried to brush my hair with a round brush I couldn’t get it out of my hair for the life of me. Now I’m traumatized and refuse to use them myself (but I don’t really care if the hairdresser uses them lol).
Someone Somewhere: I love when you talk about denman brush on curly hair. It's as if I can feel my self doing it.
Liz Ashley: Brad should start a series called "Message to Mondo" where people film themselves telling their hair stories and he reacts to them. There are so many people in the comments telling their stories and I can't help but imagine Brad's reaction!
Desiree Caldwell: I wish I had you as a hair stylist I have so many questions I’ve learned more from this one video than I would from like 30 google searches
Lynnsey: Thank you, I have had a boar's hair brush that ive been using to help detangle my straight/wavy natural blonde hair and havent been able to use anything else because of such a sensative scalp. You telling me that i should try the round brush makes me want to try again at it. My natural hair is constantly tangling, especially because of my sleeping habbits.
Michelle Al Fardan: Wide tooth - thin tooth together is the ultimate win for my daughters hair less fuss with knots
Moonlightsweetener: one time i used a brush that was a skinny curved/full round that i just found laying around my area ( it got there by mistake) i guess i was in a hurry so i figured “ this brush will do it looks clean”. My hair is thick and wavy. i learned that day that small rounded brushes dont work well with thick and wavy hair. the brush got stuck
Lola Dwyer: "These are essential to your brush collection" Me: **looks at my single brush that I got in 6th grade because it had a squishy handle**
Deadly-Smiles: have you ever tried the bamboo hair brush? I use it when my hair is dry after a shower and I feel like it puffs my hair out without it looking frizzy or messy
The Bookworms Nook: My brush is determined by the fact that I have latex allergy thus reducing my options. I just got one of those weird detangling brushes that kind of breaks apart into pieces as it brushes. It seems quite good and I use it to detangle after showering. I also have a tangle teaser or my boar bristle brush that I use to detangle dry hair.
7TailedCat: I've been using detangling brush for few years now, recently i bought a wide tooth comb and tried it aswell, i personally think they're both good but combing makes me wanna comb my hair all the time lmaooo, let me know what you think
Alexandra Kim: I'm just in live with this channel thank you Brad for such informative videos, they help a lot❤️

Tina Gill: I love how humorous and passionate you are about your work ❤️thank you for sharing
Smol Bean: I got a knot genie brush off Amazon. It works great for when my hair is tangled, but I’ve started using a rounded brush also. :/
kat turner: You just solved my scalp issues. I am beyond happy. Thank you, beautiful!
moviesgalore3: Brad, help! I've watched countless videos and I still don't know which brush is best for my hair! It's super thick, super dense, with 2a/b/c waves when dry. If it's wet, it's more 3a curls. I don't use any heat on my hair at all, but it's still frizzy and crazy. I want to embrace my waves/curls, but it's been a struggle, not gonna lie. Any advice??
Lissette Gutierrez: Omg, I learned so much about brushes. I didn’t even know that I could use some of these brushes and how to. Now I know better in a quick amount of time, thank you so much fr
Yel: I own the Tangle Teezer and the Denman D4 brush. I love the Denman brush to do a proper styling to my natually wavy hair. It's great!
Dream Launcher Brittany: Learning a lot! Thank you! I have nice expensive products but have no idea how to use them so your videos have been very helpful for this long hair!
Diane Howard: Just want to say I love your show I always find some really good information on it and I absolutely love your tutorials
lunizaa: i thought all brushes were the same they just looked different for aesthetic purposes
Angela Gaitan: I remember I used a round brush on my long straight hair when I was younger and I was in PAIN I tell you, PAIN. I forgot how we managed to take it out but all I know is that we threw it in the garbage after that happened
Kittyslyfox: I love my boars head brush it ABSOLUTELY works sooooo well for me. I have tried a lot of the brushes listed but my hair HATED them and would attack them. True story my hair has broken brushes, rubber bands, hair clips and bobbin pins snapped. RIP to them all. My hair has killed them all and laughs in their face as it’s unphased
FrozenSimmer Productions: Tbh, as someone with super curly hair who maintains my curls, combing in the shower when my hair is wet is the only way I will detangle it. No combing when dry as that only takes curls out too, even with a wide tooth comb.
Jemima Jane Clark: I invested in my Mason Pearson brush 10 years ago. I love it so much. Makes my hair soft and shiny
Laura JH: brad: most girls don't know what brushes do what me: you are very correct brad, I didn't know there was a difference
SarahBeth5213: Oh where do I start... First, I have DEFINITELY been using the wrong brushes. Second, you explained properly distributing the oils in your hair. I had a hair dresser once (Great Clips not so great...) who told me I had naturally oily roots and recommended product to help get rid of some of the oil. While my poor dry, split ends were so damaged that I had to get more cut off than I wanted. SMH. Last but not least, Brad you are amazing. I love you. You make me want to actually take care of my hair. I've always been an all natural, low maintenance kind of girl. Very little effort put in to my looks. But, you make it look so simple and actually make sense so I'm not getting lost trying to understand what you're talking about. I've fallen into so many Youtube black holes watching your videos and I regret none of it. Looks like I'm going to start living my extra life. <3
shaydayx91x: I use the Wet Brush for my hair, wet or dry. It's honestly my favorite brush. I have straight hair
Crystal Ruvalcaba: I love you so much I've been struggling with my curly hair lately and it's because I use the wrong comb!!!
GrizzlyGremlin: Probably one of the nicest intros to a video! I’ve watched a few of your videos because I’m growing my hair out and I’m clueless (found it on TikTok actually) I’ve lived my 20s pretty much in undercuts and slicked back when it grows out but it’s to grow a mane before age stops me
Ayshstanbul: Brad: You're Using The Wrong Brush Me (bald): Tell me more...
