But as unreal as it is to have picture-perfect hair that flips flawlessly over to one shoulder with one flick of the wrist, it’s achievable to attain the same shine and softness without sitting through 20 hours of a hair makeover to shoot an ad. The secret is in your hair brush (and how many times you use it). Check out these 8 brushes to motivate you to brush your hair a good few minutes at least once a day.
