You’ll have the heat of a traditional flat iron with the convenience of a brush, saving you both time and effort.
There are several online shopping options, but ENTITY knows you want results now. So, we compiled a list of available in-store options at popular retailers. This way, you can get the best brush that straightens hair and go out with perfect style tonight.
Special Features: The Eva NYC Heat Straightening Brush from Target works on all hair types. It has rubber-tipped, flexible bristles and heats up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. It takes three minutes to heat up so you don’t have to wait too long to get started. It also has five different heat settings for your preference. And just in case you break it, there is a one-year manufacturer warranty.
Price: $60
Customer Review: “This straightener is the best thing that has every happened to me! I have Puerto Rican ringlet curls that take hours to straighten when I decide I want to. With this brush, it takes 15 minutes depending on the day I straighten! I love it so much! So worth the money for a high end one!”
Cons: Some reviewers said that while they like this option for a brush that straightens hair, they still have difficulty straightening the hair closest to their roots. Thus, this may not be the best option if you have tough curls near the top of your head.
Special Features: The STRAIGHT UP Ceramic Straightening Brush offered at ULTA Beauty is a brush that straightens hair by using 65 ceramic heated plates. It also has individual cool-tip ionic bristles. And it contains seven heat settings, from 330 degrees Fahrenheit to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Price: $60
Customer Review: “I bought this to cut down on time for straightening my hair. And it definitely worked. I have completely straight hair in about 10 mins. Flat iron usually takes me about an hour. The only downside is because it’s filled with electronics to heat up the brush, I found myself smacking my own head because of the weight.”
Cons: Some reviewers said the design was too bulky. Others said it snagged or damaged their hair. So this may not be the best option if you are seeking a sleeker design for convenience, travel or storage.
Special Features: The Simply Straight Pro available at Walmart is a brush that straightens hair by incorporating heat with Argan-oil infused 3D ceramic bristles. And it only takes 30 seconds to get hot. This brush gets up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and it has a 9 foot cord, allowing you to move around the room while you style your hair.
Price: $50
Customer Review: “So I just got a credit card and watched to buy something I’ve been wanting. Went to the as seen on TV section of Walmart and guess what is new and sitting there. This brush. So I debated because I have a flat iron that works really well. Just takes about an hour on my crazy thick, curly and frizzy hair. So I said, ‘Sure why not.’ Went home and within 10 mins my hair was straight. Silky. And smooth. Ten freaking mins. I recommend [for] all hair types.”
Cons: Some reviewers said the product shorted out after six months and started sparking. So if you are looking for a product that lasts a couple years, this may not be the option for you.
If you are intrigued by any of these, we suggest going to the store to check them out. Once you find the perfect one, it’s time to get to styling for your hot night out! Oh, don’t forget to grab your selfie stick for that perfect Instagram-worthy photo.
