You'll recognize a paddle brush as one that looks like, well, a paddle. It's large, flat, and rectangular. It typically has a pillow-like air cushion and bristles made of plastic (via All Things Hair). Just about anyone can use a paddle brush, but it's best suited for those with thick, long locks. It tends to work best on straight hair. And, since it's anti-static, it will give you a smooth, shiny head of hair.
Also, a pro tip: Use your paddle brush vertically rather than horizontally (via TikTok). Brushing with the handle to the side is a common hair mistake. The bristles are placed to best detangle hair in a vertical position so as not to catch the hair. This method will make a huge difference in your hair health.
If you have thick, beautiful curls, a wide-toothed comb on wet hair is likely your best bet. Brushing dry curly hair leads to a lot of frizz. A detangling brush is also a wonderful choice for curls (via Healthline).
