Salon-ready blowouts made possible from the comfort of your home? Yes, please. All you need to is equip yourself with a trusty and humble straightening brush and you’ll only be seeing good hair days ahead. Here, we’ve rounded up 12 hair straightening brushes that actually work for any hair textures for a sleek and chic look.
BEST SPLURGE
This brush heats up to 365 degrees to smooth hair without causing unnecessary exposure to high heat. The widely spaced bristles straighten hair without losing volume like a flat iron. We also love it for smoothing bangs and face-framing layers, and creating polished ends.
BEST FOR FINE HAIR
This set gives you everything you’ll ever need for at-home hair styling. There are three curling tools, a rough-drying tool, and a hard brush that can be used to both dry hair and smooth. It works fastest on fine hair—but all hair types can benefit from it too.

BEST VOLUMIZER
Thanks to this hot brush’s round shape, it’s easy to capture the volume of a blowout at home, all while you straighten your hair. The 8-foot swivel cord will make sure you can bend it however you please, too.
BEST MINI
Whether you want to touch up second-day hair or only have so much room in your bag, this mini brush packs a 356-degree punch—while clocking in at just 9.5 inches long.
BEST FOR WAVY HAIR
There are nylon, silicone, and diamond-infused ceramic bristles to ensure your wavy hair is both smooth and frizz-free.
BEST FOR THICK HAIR
What makes this brush unique is the extra-long design. This allows you to get the heated bristles super close to your scalp and work with more hair in each pass.
BEST FOR COILED HAIR
Even thick, coiled, and ultra-curly hair can be straightened with this brush, as long as you work in small sections. The heat is adjustable and the brush swivels 360 degrees so you can straighten at all angles.
BEST TIME-SAVER
This brush heats up in only 30 seconds—so you can quickly pass it through your hair and get on with your day.
BEST DEAL
This brush is less than $30 and heats up to 450 degrees, plus it makes hair look ultra-shiny and sleek.
