The Best Hair Brush For Travel: Meet The Paddle Brush
1. The best brush for all hair types
When it boils down to it, the best all-rounder hair brush for all hair types and lengths is the paddle brush. We do like to recommend many different brushes for different hair types, but no one can go wrong with a paddle brush! Right now we’re into the Nexxus Ibiza Cx2 Paddle Hair Brush: Because it is large and has pins that are evenly spaced, this brush type works well for both detangling and styling.
2. Styling with a paddle brush
Because of the size of the brush and its widely spaced pins, a paddle brush is ideal for styling. You can totally use for your at-home blowout and use it to help you style your hair into sleek looks. Plus, the springy base of the brush makes it super comfortable when brushing near the scalp. Use the paddle brush, and just keep in mind that you need to be gentle. It’s better for the brush, and more importantly, it’s better for your hair.
3. Why size doesn’t always matter for travel
When searching for the best hair brush for travel, many sources will tell you to try and find a more compact or smaller-sized brush, or a brush with a folding handle. We agree that small brushes are needed if you’re going hiking or backpacking, but for your average traveler, fitting in one standard sized hairbrush into your carry on shouldn’t be an issue. We think it’s more important to have a full-sized overachiever of a brush that helps you get the hair you want than to save two inches of space in your suitcase.
4. Which hairbrushes to avoid for travel
When you are traveling, even for a short period of time you need a brush that can do it all. Brushes that are uni-taskers aren’t the smartest for traveling. As much as you may love your teasing brush or your fine-toothed comb for getting precise styles, neither will help detangle your hair or make blow-drying easy and effective. First choose a brush that can help you with your daily hair needs, then see if you have space in your case to toss in another one (or two!) for extra styling help.
