I finally caved recently and, ignoring the slightly skeevy name and "made for TV"-esque packaging, bought one of the most talked about brushes in, well, the brush world (yes, that is a place, trust me) lately.
I'd had to suppress years of it being pounded into my head that you never, ever, brush your hair while wet. Or else!!
However after hearing about this brush being the second coming to the air-dried, letting your natural waves flow look (currently the look I've been sporting since I don't have to be at a desk at 9am anymore, and let's face it, it's a lot healthier for your hair), I had to try it for myself.
I'm not sure how it beats a wide-toothed comb, but the vociferous advocates on Youtube (one in particular who was so excited about the brush she barely got a word in between curses), along with the cheap price ($9 at Target) convinced me.
I used it for the first time recently to distribute a hair mask through my hair (I'd been involved in a photo shoot at a hair salon recently and it involved heavy heat work on my hair, so I wanted to give it a little extra TLC when I next washed it) and I will say it did a jolly good job of doing so. It wasn't the miracle detangler that others rave about (seriously, people have said that it's saved their relationship with their screaming brush-averse children) for me on the first go, but perhaps that was because I hadn't conditioned it yet (this was post shampoo and pre-mask) so my hair had pretty much no slip and a lot of knots. Post mask, it did glide nicely through my hair, but this was most likely due to the fact that a) I'd already brushed all the knots out, and b) my hair had a lot of slip at that point as I was heavy handed with the mask.
Is this really the miracle brush people say it is? I'm not sure yet, but I'll come back for a round two update once I've gone through a couple of regular hair wash and co sessions with it.
