This Hair Tool Gives You the Same Results as a Flat Iron, Minus the Damage

If you rely on a flat iron for everyday styling or at least use one frequently, then you know it can do a number on your hair. Too much heat and too much pressure or clamping can damage your hair's cuticles, which might cause dryness, breakage, and frizz. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to stop using a flat iron completely. There are some things you can do to minimize the damage caused by flat irons, including limiting your usage, making sure your hair is clean and moisturized, choosing the right flat iron, applying heat-protectant products, and setting the flat iron at a lower temperature.

But if you really want to minimize the chances of damaging your hair, you should use a straightening brush. These genius hair tools evenly distribute heat to your strands and make your hair smooth and sleek. They're also really good at maintaining your hair's volume and body instead of flattening it. In fact, using a straightening brush might be the closest at-home alternative to getting a blow-out.

Take a look below at some of the best-rated straightening brushes out there.
