When it comes to shaping a bouncy blow-dry, a round, so-called barrel brush just can’t be beaten. It might take some time to master the skill of balancing a hair dryer and brush, but the bouncy, voluminous curls you’ll get are worth it. And for the authentic catwalk look, GHD Ceramic Vented Radial brush collection is the weapon of choice for stylists worldwide.

Here’s our selection of the best hairbrushes, of various types and for all hair textures; read on to find the perfect brush for your style.

English brand Mason Pearson hasn’t changed its cult-classic Boar and Nylon Bristle brush since 1895 – a testament to its superb design. Mixing the finest premium-grade boar-bristle with nylon, the brush is exceptionally gentle on the hair and scalp, so it’s perfect for fine, delicate textures that are easily damaged. We test all of the hairbrushes we review on our own hair. We use the brushes as recommended on clean, dry hair (or damp hair, where this is recommended) – and, where possible, we test them on more than one hair type.

It’s not just about detangling and promoting shine, though. Regularly brushing clears out impurities that naturally build up in your hair and scalp. It removes old hair, dead skin cells and products which can cause bacteria to clog up scalp’s pores which can prevent growth. We start by taking note of the brush’s recommended usage – for dry or damp brushing, with or without a hairdryer. We confirm the materials from which the bristles are made, the dimensions of the tool and any colour options. In use, we assess how easily the brush passes through our hair and the time it takes to brush a full head of hair. We consider how well the tool removes knots and tangles, how the brush feels on the hair and scalp, the effect of the brush on any static or flyaways and how smooth the hair looks and feels after brushing. And because I did the research—and consulted the pros—on exactly how to get big, bouncy waves on fine hair or create a sleek, smooth look on curly hair, I'm basically a (self-proclaimed) round brush expert. So today, I bring to you the 15 best round brushes that I personally tested and reviewed on myself and all the knowledge O'Conner—and hairstylists Jasmine “Jazzee” Green and Marty Harper—passed onto me. Here's everything you need to know about round brushes for short and fine hair, curly hair, 4c hair, and everything in between, below:
