Can a straightening brush damage hair?

Less than flat irons, because you make fewer passes and the bristles separate strands for more even heat distribution. Always use heat protectant spray regardless.

Do straightening brushes work on curly hair?

They work well on wavy to loose curly hair (Type 2-3A). Very tight curls (Type 3C-4C) may need a traditional flat iron for complete straightening.
