Is Your Hairbrush Holding You Back? Let’s Talk Tools

If your hair still isn’t doing what it’s supposed to despite using all the right shampoos, masks, and serums, it could be your brush that’s letting you down.

The truth is: not all brushes are created equal. The tool you use every day has a big impact on how your hair looks, feels, and behaves. From detangling without damage to building volume and boosting shine, the right brush makes all the difference.

Let’s take a look at the must-have brushes we stock at Allure by Epic—and how to know which one’s right for you.


For Everyday Styling & Shine:

If your routine is more low-maintenance, but you still want smooth, frizz-free hair, the ghd Paddle Brush is your go-to. Designed with a wide, flat base, this brush is made for detangling, smoothing and straight styling, especially on longer lengths.

What we love:

  • Gentle nylon bristles that glide through hair without pulling

  • The large surface area makes quick work of long or thick hair

  • Also great for brushing out curls into soft waves after heat styling

Perfect for: Quick smoothing, sleek ponytails, or straight styles

🌊 For Wet Hair or Post-Shower Detangling:

Evo Roy Wide-Tooth Detangling Comb

Wet hair is when your strands are most vulnerable to breakage. That’s why a wide-tooth comb is essential, especially post-shower. The Evo Roy Comb is made from durable acetate with super-wide teeth that gently separate strands without pulling or snapping.

Why we love it:

  • Great for evenly distributing conditioner or treatments

  • Perfect for detangling curls and coils without disturbing your texture

  • Easy to clean and long-lasting

The Roy Comb isn’t just functional—it also looks seriously chic. Keep it in the shower or at your vanity for daily use.

Best for: Detangling wet hair, applying masks, or defining curls

🔄 For Smoothing & Finishing Touches:

ghd Oval Dressing Brush

If you’re after that ultra-glossy finish, the ghd Oval Dressing Brush delivers. Crafted with anti-static nylon bristles, this brush is designed to smooth down flyaways and add shine without flattening your style.

What sets it apart:

  • The cushioned base adds comfort while brushing

  • The bristles help distribute natural oils from root to tip, enhancing shine

  • Excellent for polishing styles, brushing out waves, or taming halo frizz

This brush is a game-changer for your final look. It elevates hair that’s already styled into something next-level sleek and swishy.

Perfect for: Polished finishes, smoothing, and shine-enhancing touch-ups

💨 For the Perfect Blow-Dry:

Varis Ceramic Round Brushes – Size Medium or Large

If you’re chasing that classic salon-style bounce, the Varis Ceramic Round Brushes are your styling secret weapon. Designed with a ceramic-coated barrel, these brushes help retain heat and distribute it evenly—meaning faster blow-drying and long-lasting shape.

  • Medium (43mm) is perfect for mid-length hair and creating soft curls or bends

  • Large (53mm) is ideal for longer hair or adding maximum root lift and volume

These brushes also feature hydroionic crystals infused into the barrel and bristles, which help eliminate static and frizz while adding shine. The soft-touch ergonomic handle makes it super comfortable to grip, even during a full blow-dry session.

Perfect for: Smoothing, shaping, and creating volume with less frizz and faster dry-time

🧼 Don't Forget: Clean Your Brush Weekly

It’s easy to forget, but a dirty brush can undo all the effort you put into washing your hair. Product buildup, oil, and dust can sit in the bristles and transfer back into clean strands.

Quick cleaning tip:

  • Remove hair from the bristles

  • Wash with warm water and a few drops of shampoo

  • Let air dry bristle-side down

Your brush (and your hair) will thank you.


The Bottom Line

Your hairbrush isn't just a tool—it's a major player in your daily hair routine. Whether you’re blow-drying, detangling, or adding shine, choosing the right brush will help you get the most out of your products, protect your strands, and get that salon-level finish at home.
