If you have thick hair, opt for a thermal brush with a wide surface area like Conair's Paddle Brush. It'll cover more ground so that you can work in large sections but still get the smooth finish you're after. This brush is powered by ceramic and ionic technology to prevent heat damage, which is inevitable when you regularly use hot tools.

We're highly skeptical of any product that sounds a little too good to be true, but Revlon's 3-in-1 thermal brush is one of the exceptions to our rule. The tool dries, brushes, and straightens damp hair in one go. Its paddle shape speeds up the drying process to prevent heat damage so that your strands are dry, but not fried.
