Which brush barrel to choose?🤔✨

When it comes to blow-drying and styling, choosing the right round hairbrush is key — and it’s not just about bristles or coating. One of the most crucial aspects? The barrel size. At Olivia Garden, all our round brushes come in different diameters, because every hairstyle, hair type, and goal deserves the perfect match.

Let’s break down why the size of your brush barrel really matters — and how to choose the right one for the result you want.

Small Barrels

Small barrel are perfect for precision, curls & short hair. Our smallest sizes are 10mm, 15mm, and 25mm.

Best for:
✔️ Short hair or fringes
✔️ Tight curls or waves
✔️ Root lift and detailed work

A small round brush is a must-have for any stylist working with short haircuts, bangs, or pixie cuts. It allows precision, control, and tension — especially close to the roots. It’s also the go-to if you want to create defined curls or volume at the roots.

Pro tip: Use a small barrel to reshape short hair between appointments or freshen up a fringe with a quick blow-dry.

Medium Barrels

Our medium size barrels are 30mm, 35mm, and 45mm and are the perfect sizes for your everyday blowouts!

Best for:
✔️ Medium-length hair
✔️ Bouncy blowouts
✔️ Soft waves and movement

The medium-size barrel is the most versatile tool on your station. It’s perfect for layered cuts, shoulder-length styles, and anyone wanting to achieve a natural, bouncy finish with volume and softness. Think everyday glam.

Pro tip: Combine a medium round brush with our Ceramic + Ion technology (like in our Expert Blowout Shine) for smoothness without frizz.

Large Barrels

Our largest brush barrels are 55mm, 65mm, 80mm and 85mm and are your go-to choice if you want to add volume or add that polish finish to long hair!

Best for:
✔️ Long or thick hair
✔️ Straightening and smoothing
✔️ Maximum volume with a natural curve

A large barrel is essential for long hair clients who want volume and a smooth finish without curling the ends too much. It helps create sleek, full-body blowouts and is also great for wrapping long sections to smooth or straighten hair from root to tip.

Why Barrel Size Matters?

It’s not just about how long the hair is. The right barrel size also depends on:

✔The result you want (volume, curl, smoothness)
✔️The level of control needed (tight or loose styling)
✔️The technique you use

At Olivia Garden, we’ve designed each size to help you work faster, easier, and with more precision — no matter the hair type or goal.
