There’s nothing more easily achievable than salon-quality hair. Especially nowadays, when a variety of advanced tools like the B.R.U.S.H 30/40 can help you achieve that style at home. Being a busy bee, I have always been looking for the fastest and most efficient way to style my hair and finally discovered a thermal brush. Now I’d like to share some of the best heat styling techniques that allowed me to achieve flawless and effortless looks while maintaining the healthy and well-nourished appearance of my hair.
Heat Styling Basics: From Curls to Straight Strands
If you want to achieve a certain look with heat styling, you must first understand the basics. Whether you want soft waves and bouncy curls, or sleek, straight locks, you need the perfect technique and a reliable tool. I have tried many heat styling methods in the past, but the best one for me, and probably for you will be using a hot thermal brush, to be more specific, my B.R.U.S.H 30/40.
I am delighted with this tool because it has the perfect temperature of 180°C which is just right for all types of hair. It is gentle enough not to fry my strands but hot enough to style to my hair. In my opinion, it is the best thing about the this brush. The flat irons and heat styling tools that I have used before would often burn my hair off, but this one nourishes it with Keratin, Argan Oil, and Macadamia Oil.
For sleek, straight hair:To keep a straight hair if I ever want to change my wavy curls for straight locks, I would not even have to use a flat iron. All I need to do is brush my hair slowly with the B.R.U.S.H from root to tip, and it gives me the polished finish that I want.
To keep soft waves: using my B.R.U.S.H 30/40, I would hold the brush horizontally and twirl my hair around the its barrel. The result is a beachy and glossy waves in minutes, with the ions released from the brush also taming the frizz and flyaways.
Five Easy Hairstyles You Can Create with a Thermal Brush
The B.R.U.S.H 30/40 is one of the most versatile tools for your hair, and I love that about it. Here are five simple hairstyles I have done with my hot thermal brush that you could do with yours too.
Effortless waves: One of the things I love about the B.R.U.S.H 30/40 is how easy creating waves is. I divide my hair into sections, and I wrap each subsection around the brush, then gently let it go. The result is some beautiful soft waves in my hair. It looks very natural and effortless, and I love having my hair like this when I run errands, go to work, or go out. Besides, whenever I use the hot tool, my hair gets an infusion of Keratin, Argan Oil, and Macadamia Oil, which work wonders for my locks.
Bouncy curls: If for a more sophisticated look, I can wrap smaller subsections around the barrel of the B.R.U.S.H 30/40 and hold them for about ten seconds. The result is super soft, delicate curls, which are far from being frizzy, unlike when I use a traditional styler. I have used this technique a few times for special events, and I can say, that should be your go-to method if you are in love with the beachy waves.
Sleek and straight: For a polished look, I can also just brush my hair as I would usually do. The beauty of the hot tool is that it will make my hair smooth straight thanks to the heat and conditioned by fatty, nourishing oils. The process doesn’t take me long, and that is extremely convenient because when my hair is frizzy and wavy by nature, this option saves me on a daily basis, making my hair beautiful and glossy in minutes.
Volume and lift: I also think that the B.R.U.S.H 30/40 creates a fabulous amount of volume at the roots if you brush your hair upwards gently. I always do that whenever I want my hair to look at least a bit fuller, and I mainly have in mind the top of my head.
Flipped ends: One of my most favorite hairstyles involves flipping my hair’s ends either outward and inward. I don’t have to use a hairdryer to get that lifting, blow-dried effect. Looking presentable, I feel like this is a super low maintenance, quick look to achieve with the B.R.U.S.H 30/40.
The Importance of Hair Nourishment During Heat Styling
I am a girl who loves heat styling but is also very cautious about damaging my hair. I found that using the right tool is essential. Side by side, a tool that heats up but also loves my threads back is the B.R.U.S.H 30/40. Containing Keratin and Argan Oil in its barrel, the B.R.U.S.H 30/40 provides heat treatment that does not only style but also nourishes the hair at the same time.
Keratin: Keratin is a protective protein that makes up the inner part of the hair, as well as the outer layer of the skin. It is offered by nature to repair, heal, and protect damaged hair. The B.R.U.S.H 30/40 is charged with keratin, nourishing the hair with as much of this natural protein as it needs to heal the hair and build resilience to damaging treatments.
Macadamia Oil: Natural moisturizing oil helps strengthen and hydrate hair, making it softer and more shine. This argan oil is the nutrient that the hair of the girly hair can wake up with. Macadamia oil has an amazing sheen and makes the hair appear full, giving it a luscious and aesthetic look.
Argan Oil: This golden liquid is a gold act that specially adds to the height of the hair. Argan oil feeds, restores, and enriches the hair for a subtly distinct choice, adding gloss to the smooth hair for a sexy look. It’s just amazing, adding an extra look and feel that is simply amazing in such a way that it doesn’t really destroy the hair.
Thanks to the incorporation of these three ingredients, I am stimulated to add volume to my crushed hair that would otherwise be damaged in the salon to a maximum extent. My hair is now safer because I know that the heat is not just styling it. Instead, it’s nourishing and protecting my hair.
Finishing touches for a long-lasting look
Now that you have your hair looking the way you want it to, it’s time to lock everything in place. One of the best tips I have learned is to let your hair cool down before putting any finishing product in your hair. As the temperature drops, so does the hair strand, so it will ‘set’ your style and make it last longer.
For curly hair: I tend to use a light weight hair spray to make sure my curls don’t drop at the weight of the product. Sometimes, I put a tiny bit of shine product on my head as well, as the B.R.U.S.H 30/40 is creating a glossy look on my hair.
For my straight ends: I use a straightening product to go through the ends of my hair once the B.R.U.S.H 30/40 is finished. This minimizes any flyaways and gives it a sleek finish.
For boosting volume: I will flip my hair over and once it’s done, apply volume spray to the roots of my hair at the top of my head. I will them tousle it to give it more texture.
The B.R.U.S.H 30/40 makes all of these steps easier, mainly because the tool does all the hard work. Its light weight means I can hold it with little to no effort, plus the anti-slip handle makes it easy to maintain grip. Additionally, it’s 360-degree swivel cord lets me twirl it without have to think about the tool getting in the way. Plus, the style last longer so I do not have to do anything for longer.
