In short, yes – straightening brushes are an excellent tool which can give beautifully straight results. It may take you a little time to get used to it, particularly if you are used to using a flat iron, but they are far more straightforward and less fiddly to use than a flat iron.

To use them, you simply brush through your hair with an ordinary comb or hairbrush to remove any knots or tangles, then switch on your hairbrush straightener. Position it at the roots, underneath your hair, pointing outwards. If you cannot see the tips of the bristles through the bunch of hair, then you are using too big of a bunch. Hold the bunch of hair out with your other hand then firmly but slowly brush your hair downwards. You should notice the difference after the first swipe, but you may need 2 or 3 passes to get the perfect finish, and maybe more if your hair is particularly curly.
