The Best Straightening Brushes for Detangling and Heat-Styling at the Same Time

What good is a beauty routine if it isn’t efficient? Even on off-days, a laundry list of to-dos is waiting to be checked off and completed. And more often than not, that includes the list we didn’t get to the day before, because procrastination is very real. So of course we want–correction: need–products that knock out two birds with one stone, but still make it look as though we put in the kind of effort worth capturing in one of those effortless, on-the-go selfies. That’s not too much to ask or expect, right? (Excuse our sarcasm.)

Lip-cheek paints, serum foundations and tinted lip balms are just a few of the many makeup products that function in more ways than one. And though there are hair styling products that also check off many boxes too, the same can’t be said for heat tools. In fact, the straightening brush may just be the most popular option that actually backs it claims. Though we doubt blow-dryers and flat irons will ever go extinct, we can’t help but notice an uptick in this hybrid hair saver that detangles as you straighten and in some cases, dry, too. There isn’t really much else to say about something so convenient other than…why are we just giving it the credit it deserves.

Fortunately, adding this hot tool to your collection doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. While their are more expensive options from pro-brands like Drybar, there’s also lesser-known, but equally effective models on Amazon and other beauty-centric sites. So if you’re new to the the world of straightening brushes, here are some of the best-reviewed options.
