5 Best Hair Tools for Curly-Haired Gals

Curly-haired girls know the struggle of grappling with your hair daily to make it look good. Using tools that are not made for your hair can do more harm than good. Rather than using whatever hair brush or tool is available, girls with curly and wavy hair should patronize tools made for their hair type.

For every curly-haired woman out there, we present you a list of hair tools that you should be using.

• Paddle brush

A paddle brush is a wide, flat brush that have cushioned bristles. It is heavier than most regular hair brushes and is usually made of plastic but the sturdier and more expensive ones are those made out of wood.

This hair brush is perfect for your curly tresses because the area between the bristles are wide so it doesn’t tangle with your hair strands. No matter how thick, long or curly your hair is, the paddle brush is something to keep in your vanity.

Use this brush before you shower to get rid of dirt, falling hair and tangles. Brushing your hair with a paddle brush is also a good form of scalp massage and gives your hair more volume.

• Wide-tooth comb

A wide-tooth comb may be the best friend of curly-haired gals who are always on the rush during mornings. To remove tangles in wet hair, comb this gently and it will instantly detangle clumps of hair without breakage.

You can use this comb before and after taking the shower, together with your favorite hair product. When using a wide-tooth brush, there’s no need to brush your hair throughout the day. Your tendrils are set and ready to go.

• Diffuser

A diffuser is a type of nozzle that you attach to a blow dryer. Some blow dryers come with its own diffuser and if yours have none, there is a universal diffuser available in stores. Blow drying curly hair can make it frizzy so using a diffuser controls the hot air being emitted by the blower.

Apply leave-in conditioner before using a diffuser to dry your hair, giving it body. Dividing your hair to different sections is an easier way of effectively drying curly hair.

• Tangle Teezer

A bean-shaped brush used to detangle hair, the Tangle Teezer is a newly innovated beauty tool that is lightweight so brushing your hair will cause less fatigue to your hands. This curl-friendly product works well for removing tangled clumps with minimum damage to hair.

Like the paddle brush, the Tangle Teezer can be used in detangling dry hair in the morning before taking a shower. The Teezer can also be used in applying products to your hair.

• Small barrel curling iron

Curling irons come with barrels in different sizes: 5/8 inch, 3/8 inch and ½ inch. When your curls look dull and lifeless, just use the curling iron to liven up your look. Using varied sizes of curling iron barrels can change up your look- from easy wavy hair to mega-curls that spell Va Va Voom!
