I was actually thinking of buying this brush myself, so I was really happy to receive it in the Influenster Holiday Vox Box. After using it, I was really happy I didn't go out and buy it.
The idea behind the brush is that it'll save you time due to little cloth "noodles" in between the bristles that are supposed to absorb excess water from your hair during styling. There are even little vents on the side of the brush to help airflow if you do decide to use a blow dryer. As far as styling with heat tools goes, I didn't use it for that, simply because this brush has an obnoxious cleaning process, and I use a lot of product in my hair while styling. Basically, this brush would get real nasty real fast. I did, however, just brush through my wet hair after my shower (hair sin, I know, I know).
The cloth in the brush didn't absorb that much water, which defeats the purpose of the brush. However, that wasn't the worst quality for me. The reason I would not recommend this brush is that the bristles lack flexibility. I found that the stiff bristles were really just painful on my scalp, and I heard a lot of hair breaking. I think this could be a cool concept, but only if the bristles were made way more flexible in order to protect the scalp and the hair shafts.
Basically, just don't waste your money. When buying a new brush, look for bristle flexibility and give in the rubber pad. This helps prevent scalp irritation and breakage. You can also look for combo brushes of nylon bristles and boar hair bristles, as the boar hair will distribute oils from your scalp to the ends, making your hair healthier. Long, thick hair tends to love a bigger brush, while a smaller one is just fine for thinner hair.
Do you have a brush you swear by?
