A Professional Stylist’s POV: Why Your Hair Brush Matters

why your hair brush matters, discussing round brushes from ibiza

As a stylist, I can confidently say that the tools you use are just as important as the products in your routine.


A high-quality round brush—like the Ibiza B5 or CC5—does more than help you style in the moment. It sets the foundation for how your hair will look and behave long after you leave the chair.

When you’re working with premium bristles and barrels, you get:

  • Smoother cuticle lay → Hair looks shinier, feels softer, and resists frizz.

  • Even tension → The right brush grabs each section evenly, creating polished, professional results without snagging or breakage.

  • Longer-lasting styles → Whether it’s a voluminous blowout or soft, lived-in waves, high-quality brushes help lock in shape so your style lasts days—not just hours.

  • Healthier hair over time → Gentle bristles reduce the need for daily flat ironing, helping protect your strands from unnecessary heat damage.

Cheap brushes might get you by, but they often pull at the hair, create frizz, and leave you reaching for a hot tool to “fix” the finish. With the right round brush, you can achieve that smooth, bouncy salon look at home—and actually keep it.

The Ibiza Hair B5 Brush: Natural Boar Power and Volume

The B5 is a lushly crafted round brush—80 mm in diameter—with dense blonde boar bristles designed to create soft, loose curls, generous volume, and effortless styling, especially across larger sections and long hair. It’s also an excellent choice for bob-length looks. Thanks to its emblematic GripSlip technology, this brush smooths, detangles, and adds shine without tugging on delicate strands—truly a salon staple for a polished, natural finish

Key Benefits:

  • Spreads natural oils for luminous shine

  • Ideal for color-treated or fine hair

  • Gentle detangling with no hair breakage

  • Lightweight cork handle enhances comfort

  • Helps reduce flat ironing needs for a more natural result

The Ibiza Hair CC5 Brush: Ceramic Meets Sleek Volume

The CC5 offers a different twist: a 75 mm ceramic-barrel brush featuring carbon fiber nylon bristles, paired with a cork handle that’s both eco-friendly and ergonomically designed. This ionic, heat-resistant brush glides effortlessly through hair while taming frizz, static, and flyaways—perfect for root lift, soft volume, and that coveted front swoop Ibiza Hair+2Ibiza Hair+2.

  • Soft waves are your goal and you prefer to avoid heat tools

Opt for the CC5 if:

  • You want to fight frizz and flyaways while adding smooth volume

  • You love the benefits of ceramic heat and ionic technology for a sleek blowout

Both the Ibiza B5 and CC5 are crafted in Spain with the kind of thoughtful design that makes a noticeable difference in your hair.
