When I received this brush and tried it for the first time I already knew I wanted to give it 5 stars. However to be fair and give it a good trial I wanted to test the brush in different ways, one which involved my 9 year old daughter.
The first thing I noticed was how light the brush was and such a great shape which made it super easy to hold and at the same time comfortable to use. The design is super cute but professional looking at the same time.
Test 1: Little Miss Avalon's Hair - The first time I tried the brush, I used it on my little girl. The reason I signed up for the trial was because of her. Her hair type is of a medium thickness and gets super knotty. It was easy to use on her hair, and usually she complains about her hair hurting no matter how gentle I try to be. She hardly complained and it did a very good job with her hardly flinching. Result: There was hardly any complaining what do you think? lol
Test 2: My Hair - Dry: Next I tried the brush on my hair when it was dry and I had just woken up, so it was kind of bird nesty and knotty. The brush was able to glide through the hair without hardly causing me to flinch. A couple of times it did catch and pull a bit but nowhere near as my usual Avon brush. Result: Very good on dry knotty hair.
Test 3: Wet/Washed Towel Dried Hair: Firstly I washed my hair (using the same products I always use to make sure I wasn't doing anything different than I normally do). After towel drying I used the brush and it just went through smoothly, no knots and it was fully brushed in about a minute. Pretty impressive.
Test 4: Used After Hair Drying: Now here is the true test. Usually when I dry my hair with a hair dryer it literally has a mind of its own and just looks like a big hot mess. Apart from a few pulls here and there, I hardly noticed I was even brushing it and I had to keep checking that it was even brushing my hair. And it certainly was.
Overall Results: This brush is amazing and is now our Holy Grail brush.
I highly recommend you get this brush for you, for your kids, for whoever. At this price it is a steal. Thanks so much Beauty Review for inviting me to trial this brush, we love it xx
My hair is thin and knots incredible quickly, wet or dry, so this brush is actually a miracle. I have used tangle teasers in the past but the no handle design made it hard for me to use, especially the back of my head where I get the most tangles therefore I discontinued using them. The bristle design on this brush is similar, but the addition of a handle has made this brush my new holy grail. I first used this brush on my dry hair, just to get rid of a couple knots and after 1 pass through my hair, at most 2 in the worst place, my hair was tangle free. After using on dry hair, I tried it just as I got out of the shower, same thing. 1 or 2 passes through my hair and it was tangle free, with minimal pulling and I was also able to easily reach the back of my head. Deciding to put the brush through the paces, I went swimming at the beach, got my hair wet and when I got home attempted to brush it out. I found that it did have more trouble untangling my hair when it was filled with salt and sand, but a couple of extra passes and i was able to run my fingers through with no knots. This brush worked so well on my hair, there was minimal breakage and the design was easy to use. Removing the hair that was left in the brush was also easy, and due to the rubber bristles cleaning was quick and simple. The only thing I wish is that there were different colour options, as I would typically not buy a pink hairbrush!
Tips: Great for helping pull your hair into a pony tail because the large surface area gets most of your hair in one go!
