IT’S NO SECRET that women will go to great lengths for frizz-free, silky hair.
From keratin treatments to specialist drying and styling tools, we’ve tried it all.
Which is why we’re excited there’s a fairly new, fairly easy frizz-banishing option making waves in hair care: the ionic hair brush.
You’re likely to have heard of ionic technology before: it’s often used in blow dryers to help regulate the balance of positive and negative ions in your hair – every time you towel dry or play around with your hair, brush it or let it get windswept, you’re losing negative ions, which contributes to that frizzy, dry hair you want to avoid.
It’s thought that negative ions emitted from ionic hairbrushes will help to control any frizz, detangle the hair and even smooth split ends. An ionic hair brush promises to deliver smooth, shiny and frizz-free hair with a simple brushing motion –and a petite enough size that you can throw it in your handbag if you like. Or, you can activate your ionic hairbrush with heat for shiny, healthier styling.
Using an ionic hair brush can also be a form of self care: the brushing motion gives you a relaxing scalp massage and helps to promote circulation.
From dryer brushes to purse-friendly ones, these ionic hair brushes will ensure even the humidity can’t get your hair down.

This one-step hair brush cuts your hair styling time in half (if not more), using ionic technology to help condition and smooth the hair, minimising frizz and static. It also has a ceramic coating to protect hair as you dry – and it couldn’t be easier to go from wet hair, to smooth and bouncy hair in just one step.
There are plenty of positive reviews for this product, but our favourite has to be this one: ‘OMG I can’t rave enough about this little baby! I have incredibly thick curly unmanageable hair and this makes me look like Jennifer Aniston!!!’
For under a tenner, this ionic detangling paddle brush is a real steal: use it on dry or wet hair, long or short styles, and enjoy how it leaves hair looking ‘shiny and soft’.
This boar bristle brush is ideal for blow drying and styling hair: it has a vented ceramic barrel which heats up quickly and ensures even heat distribution for a quicker blow-dry and styling time.
‘…This brush is absolutely amazing. I have very fine, limp hair, just above my shoulders with no volume. I’ve bought several round brushes that I don’t like (too small, too large, too stiff, etc) This grabs and holds the hair like nobody’s business, doesn’t tangle or pull, and is the perfect size to give my hair tons of volume. I’m impressed!’ raves a fan.
Another hair straightening brush, this value-for-money design also boasts ionic technology for more shine, less damage, static and frizz and a soft and shiny look. It has multiple temperature settings and comes with a mat pouch for easy travel.
‘I used this product for my hair which is thick and very curly, it did a very good job. The ion function made my hair frizz free and very smooth while the straightening function made my hair straight and easy to style,’ writes one fan.
Hundreds of five-star reviewers insist this brush is a ‘miracle’ hair brush that banishes frizz for good. It works by neutralising frizz and tangles by releasing negatively charged ions, and will also smooth split ends and leave hair nice and shiny.
This barrel brush combines ceramic and ionic properties for a quick and easy drying time and a well-protected, shiny mane. Fans say it’s ‘handy and effective’, has a ‘great grip’ and is ‘excellent and easy to use without damage to your hair’.
