Olivia Garden Ceramic and Ion Turbo Vent 100% Boar Bristle Hair Brush with Sectioning Pick

***Updated 7/1616 (original 2/2014): I still love this brush. Initially, you may see some bristles fall away but my brush still looks good today. I initially had some issues directing the heat to the center of surface of the bristles instead of the area closest to the handle. This is due to a surgery I'd had on my wrist. This caused the rubber of the handle to suffer a bit of melting over time. It's still in great condition, but the rubber has begun to deteriorate because of the former issue. I'm ordering another one to be my primary brunch but will keep my old one. I may be able to make a new grip for the handle. Overall, this is still a great brush to blow dry my spiral-curly hair.I have tried two or three other boar brushes, but this one is definitely a keeper! I can get my naturally curly mix of 3b/3c/4a hair pretty straight with just this brush and a blow dryer. My hair is left soft and shiny. I think that the fact that it is oval is a great benefit because it allows you a great flat surface to help keep the hair taut while blow drying.I don't normally wear my hair straight, but since having this brush, I've found that I like keeping my hair blown out and will continue to do so.

This brush is amazing! Not only did it help reduce frizz when blowing out my hair but the shape of the brush allows versatility with your styles. Did I mention the pick on the end of the brush? Perfect for parting and sectioning your hair. Would definitely recommend

I have thick, wavy, unruly hair and this is one of the best brushes I have used. This speeds up my blow dry immensely and would be perfect for anyone wanting to improve their hair routine. My only con is the handle is smooth rubber material so your hands have to be free of product otherwise it becomes rather slippery. But once you realise that, the brush is flawless.

This is my favorite brush for drying my hair. So glad to find on Amazon since I’ve always purchased from my salon. Totally worth the price.

I owned the Hana B oval brush for over a decade. This is the only similar brush that comes up in searches. Bought the patent on it and made cheaper?This brush has alot less bristles= fineIt has a new ceramic center. However quality of bristles the main part is very poor.The bristles started falling out immediately. The bristles also are not laying straight out. See pictures. My sink was full of them. I didn't even use it yet.Definately would not last as long as my Hana K brush has.I was really looking forward to a new brush , but I guess I have to continue to use my old one as there is no equal replacement on the market.Perhaps it is the temperature they are stored in at Amazon warehouse that is ruining the brushes?

bristles are falling out before i even used it. and when i did use it more fell out. not sure why.the shape and the way it styles is great but not sure how long the bristles will stay on the brush.

I decided on this brush went I couldn't find exactly what I was searching for, a 100% boar bristle paddle brush with vents, and ceramic/tourmaline ion stuff. I have some other blowout brushes but I wanted a smooth option that maybe would go faster for a simple hairdo day. It wasn't faster, I still had to go into sections, but they were verticle sections and it was all fine and good. I have a nice smooth blowout today. I have fine hair with a wave that I dry on low heat, low speed. I am still learning how to do my own blowouts and I am a bit shy with the tension pulling at times (hair is damaged from an overbleach at the salon). SO, I still have yet to achieve a blowout that is totally frizz free. I usually have to touch up with a flat iron or just leave it.This brush is going to stay in my collection as the smoother. I used the short sides of the oval to help get at some of my roots. I think it will take some practice to put the oval shape to work for me but I feel I had the general idea on first try and was happy.The seller was SpaSourceOnline, fulfilled by Amazon. They sent exactly what I ordered, the Olivia Garden Ceramic + Ion Turbo Vent 100% Boar Hair Brush CITV-BROVL (Oval), shipped promptly, product was new and authentic.

Bigger than I pictured but works well in giving a smooth finish to my hair. It took a little adjustment to using as quite a bit larger than my old brush, but I like it.
