A round brush is generally used on long hair but can be used on short hair provided you use the right diameter brush. Read my article what size round to use on short hair, increasing volume using a round brush for short hair and what round brush to use if you have thick hair for more information. These brushes are used under your hair to increase volume and add waves or curls. The more bristles the more tension you can put on your hair while styling. Round brushes are excellent to incorporate bounces, curves or waves. The round brush diameter is important in terms of results and the style which you can achieve. You can read my article in round brush diameters and sizes if you want to know more.
What diameter is best?
Round brushes come in many sizes but the main thing to remember is the shorter the hair you have the smaller diameter brush you will want. This is because you will need the small size to be able to work with the length of hair you have to get enough tension for styling. Generally speaking the larger diameters are going to excel at giving you waves and curls while styling.
