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