Hair brushes

[Gemster]

Geeks popped over from skin/nails with a personal query.

I've been struggling with my own hair for about a year or so; it's about bra strap length, very heavy (if it makes sense, there's a lot of it!), dead straight and gets greasy very quickly. It drives me insane and I used to deal with it by washing it everyday but I find it such hard work and know that it's counter productive.

So I've switched to professional products and washing every 2-3 days, have invested in a new Diva hairdryer which gets lots of good reviews on here to speed up my drying time and I want to get a new brush but I have no idea what I am looking for!

Is there a particular type of brush/type of bristles which would be best suited to my hair?

Thank you for your help

Can none of you lovely hair geeks give me some advice? Pretty please ...

What sort of look are you trying to achieve? A large round brush Will give you a bit of volume. Ceramic brushes hold heat but I think you get less tension sometimes with them if you want a round brush that really holds the hair with tension then go for a boar bristle brush. You could also use a paddle brush if you just want to dry straight .
