When it comes to a mastering the fine art of a fuss-free hair routine, time is money — especially if you’re like me and are guilty as charged when it comes to a nasty habit of hitting the snooze button at least twice every morning when my alarm goes off. Fortunately, my latest beauty tool discovery has been a game-changer (and maybe even an enabler, when it comes to the whole over-sleeping thing).  Hair straightening brushes are an awesome two-in-one tool that allow you to create a straight and sleek ‘do just as you would with an average ceramic flat iron, but these multi-functional brushes can actually shave off a substantial amount of time from the process of doing your hair. If that wasn’t convincing enough to consider making the switch, consider this: some models are a triple threat, functioning as a de-tangling comb, straightener, and hair dryer all in one easy-to-use tool. And, there’s more: these innovative double-duty brushes also tend to be far less damage-inducing to your strands and your scalp, preventing further breakage and split ends and minimizing the risk of burning your face or hand.

A proper blowout almost always looks amazing when you exit your stylists chair, but it’s not exactly an easy task to accomplish on your own — especially when you’re seemingly always pressed for time. We’ve discussed some helpful hacks and tools to help you recreate that shiny blowout from home, but I’ve found that whether you’re after a stick-straight statement style or just want to refresh a bedhead look by smoothing out kinks and restoring shine, these fool-proof brushes can really help streamline the process — almost re-creating the coveted post-salon look. After all, as you probably know, your flat iron isn’t just a tool for straightening, it can also help give your some extra wave and volume, depending on how you manipulate the wand as you style. These faster and more fool-proof brushes offer the same effect, but with much less hassle. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite (and budget-friendly) models below.
