What is Nika Round Brush 53mm?

Nika Round Brush 53mm by NIKA is a professional round blow-dry brush with a 53 mm vented barrel, made for long hair and big volume. The largest diameter of the NIKA series takes wide sections of long hair, smooths them under tension and gives body and generous, supple movement. Bristles all around the barrel hold the section with steady tension at every turn, and the textured handle keeps a firm grip from the first section to the last, at home and at the salon station.

Key features

• 53 mm diameter: the largest of the series, it holds wide sections of long hair and gives big volume and supple movement.
• Vented barrel: the air of the dryer passes through the barrel as well as around it, so the section is worked from inside and outside.
• Bristles all around the barrel: they grip the section and keep it under even tension through a full turn, for a smooth and glossy surface.
• Textured handle: a firm grip during long blow-dries, also with damp hands; the hanging loop keeps the brush at hand at the station.
• Metal collar: a clean finish at the base of the barrel, where the brush turns in the hand.

Results

Long hair that is smooth and glossy, with big volume at the root and soft, generous movement through the lengths.

How to use Nika Round Brush 53mm

1. Towel-dry the hair and rough-dry it until almost dry, with a vent brush or with the fingers.
2. Divide the hair into sections no wider than the brush and start from the nape, working upwards.
3. Place the brush under the section at the root and lift it, keeping the hair taut on the bristles.
4. Follow the brush with the dryer from roots to ends, with the nozzle pointing down the lengths.
5. At the ends, roll the brush for a wide, generous movement, then fix it with cool air.
6. Release the section once it has cooled and move on to the next one.

For professionals

• Service: blow-dry with volume and movement on long hair.
• At the station: the larger diameters (45 and 53 mm) work the lengths, the smaller ones (25 and 32 mm) the fringe, the front sections and short hair; a complete station keeps all four.
• After the wash: Miracle Keratin Spray on the towel-dried lengths, before the blow-dry.
• Home care to recommend: the same diameter used in the service, to recreate the blow-dry at home, and Shimmer Smoothing Serum on the ends to finish.

Material and care

Remove the hair caught in the bristles after each client, pulling it from the base of the barrel outwards, with the tail of a comb if needed: open vents keep the air passing through the barrel. From time to time wash the brush in lukewarm water with a little shampoo, rinse and let it dry with the bristles facing down. In the salon, a disinfectant suitable for brushes can be used after cleaning. Keep it away from direct heat sources such as a hot styling iron, and replace it when the bristles lose their shape.
