Review- BrushLab Volumize Square Cushion Paddle Brush

Get big hair with the Volumize Hairbrush by BrushLab. Paddle brush's cushioned design and ball tipped tines provide a comforting massage. The Volumize Hairbrush by BrushLab features a non-slip handle.


When it comes to hair brushes, I sure can fall in love quickly and develop the oddest and strangest attachments to them. And so it is with this lovely and highly effective Volumize Hairbrush from BrushLab. It comes in a generous 3.25 in. brush head (which I adore) and the bristles are light enough to not tug too tightly on the hair, yet incredibly strong to get through each and every strand or tangle and distribute the hair's natural shine and smoothness everywhere. The handle is nicely padded with a good grip, so no matter what state your hair is in, this brush can take it. I love how wild and full and big my hair looks after a thorough brush ...no need to worry though, the poofiness and frizz does calm down naturally on its own and if you're pressed for time like me, I either use anti-frizz serum right away and/or tie it up in a loose ponytail while getting ready. The final result: the fullest and thickest and waviest my hair has ever looked and shinier too! I love this brush so much, I really am attached to it. I think it's my favorite!

Deedlejuse says: I have to totally agree with Trish on this wonderful Volumizing Paddle Brush, and I have no idea what hair type she has (which means it must be super versatile!) Personally, I have super thick, but super straight hair. It isn't easily teased into anything close to "big" hair, but this brush does a pretty good job of getting it to look a lot closer to it. The best thing for me is definitely the fact that my hair looks soooo much shinier after using it for a while, it doesn't snag a lot so the amount of breakage and flyaways is minimal. This is something that my relatively thin hair desprately loves about it! All in all this is the one hair brush I haven't (and won't) be able to loose too easily. (two reasons: its my favorite. It's bright green....)

Review- Brush Lab Fresh Curls Round Ceramic Brush

The Fresh Curls Round Ceramic Brush evenly spreads and absorbs heat longer allowing for faster drying hair and the locking of curls and body. Eliminates frizz and creates silky, smooth and conditioned hair.



This brush will give you a salon quality blow-out, if of course you know how to use it. The brush is round with vents to help the air circulate and provide bounce. Its pretty big, so its best for medium to long hair. Unfortunately, I’m a novice at blowing out my hair. I could barely manage to run the brush through my hair and control the dryer. My roomie had to help me perfect my style, but once we were done it looked shiny, bouncy, and almost like a pro had done it. I bet once I master that one-handed curling motion that all the stylists have down-packed I'm sure this will be my go-to brush for blowing out my hair.

Deedlejuse Says: I adore my Fresh Curls Round Brush! It is by far the best round brush I have tried for blow drying. The bristles are spaced so far apart that your hair is really given lots of attention while your blow drying so your hair really looks super shiny and full of volume after a quick blow dry. It also takes me a little less time to finish off my shoulder length hair when using this brush, and that is a definite plus for me!

Sultana says: Over the past two years, my hair has grown super long. I can't bring myself to cutting it. So I've just been maintaining it. I try to keep blow drying my hair to a very minimum because it takes too long. This brush gets your hair super straight and dry, but for me its just to hard to operate. Its a little bigger than I am used to. If you want a lot of volume and you are used to working with bigger brushes, then this is the brush for you.

Review - Brushlab Pretty Pink Dual Mirror Brush

Ultra-fashionable dual purpose hand mirror plus nylon ball-tipped styling/detangling brush. Great size for travel.

You know that commercial for some sort of body wash that's two things in one that has a hot centaur taking a shower, and he's like "I like this body wash because it's two things in one," and you are like "wow, that guy is attractive, but he is also a centaur. I don't know how I feel about that." That's how I feel about this brush. It's great - very cute, totally serviceable as a brush you keep, say, in your office drawer for midday touch-ups, pink, and it has an attached mirror - but the mirror is on the back of the brush. How am I supposed to brush my hair AND look at myself at the same time?! I guess I should be grateful there's a mirror at all. I also really enjoy the handle; it's quite comfortable.

Malikah says: How could you not love this brush? It’s a super feminine hot pink hue, with a mirror on the back. I always love multi-use products, and this one is especially travel friendly. The round bristles are perfectly spaced to allow for detangling in a jiffy, and keep your mane looking smooth and shiny. Just make sure you don’t drop it or you may end up with 7 years of bad luck!

Josephine says: I want to praise the good first: The color is among my all-time favorites. The brushing experience is gentle yet thorough. The handle is indeed comfy. With that said, I am with MM on this one. I can only assume that in this specific case, the brush and the mirror "just happen" to be occupying the same space, not that they are meant to combine to make brushing one's hair any easier, per se. I like the potential that if you want to save space in your desk/purse/whathaveyou this would be a good thing. But it gave me pause and the the fairy of discerment visited me and invited me to redefine the whole "two-in-one" thing. This is not like a body wash/in-shower lotion but rather like an ottoman that also has storage. You just can't put your feet up while you're routing around it looking for the remote. You know?

Review- Goody Styling Therapy Reduce Dandruff Brush

If you struggle with dry, flaky scalp or dandruff, this brush is the answer to your fight against flakes. The reduce+dandruff brush discreetly kills 88% of the fungus that causes dandruff. Made from copper, a natural fungicide, ball-tipped bristles are nestled in a flexible cushion pad and gently massage your scalp and hair while reducing excessive oil and dandruff.

Scalp flakes. Ew right? Gross. But a brush that can cure you of this ill? I thought, oh please. I love Hillary so I said, sure, I'll give it a shot, why not? It's a paddle brush and those are my favorite. I gave it a whirl.
But here's something you may not know. I suffer from the horrible auto-immune disaster known as Psoriasis, and although it's about 90% controlled by my diet (I use no medications for it), it still rears its head and embarrasses the heck out of me. I know this brush is for dandruff, but psoriasis can cause the same icky consequences. I really didn't think this brush would do anything at all. But seriously everyone, IT DID. There are noticeably way less scalp issues going on here and if you have flakes, get this brush immediately. It's a good medication free way to help your scalp. Plus, it's an awesome brush, super soft, non damaging and cool looking on top of all that.

Review - Goody Add Shine Brush

Jojoba oil infused. For dull, damaged hair. Get shiny, silky hair with the Styling Therapy Jojoba Oil Brush collection. These finishing brushes feature flexible bristles that gently glide through hair. The natural ingredient, jojoba oil, infused on this brush: Helps repair dry and damaged hair. Smoothes the cuticle to calm frizziness and fly-a-ways. Leaves hair looking naturally silky and shiny. Made in China.

Have you every had a "this is my favorite hairbrush of all time" moment? No, neither have I, until.... I received this amazingly wonderful hairbrush by Goody. I'm officially in love, it is just the greatest thing. It has bristles that are actually made of soft rubber so they don't pull your hair, even when you have snags it just gently pulls them until they are gone. So you might have to brush a few more times, at least for me keeping my hair in my scalp is worth three or four extra brushes.... It also is infused with Jojoba Oil, so my hair looks shiny and smooth, even if I rolled out of bed with 10 minutes left until I need to leave for work. I have long blond very straight hair, but I definitely get those pesky fly-aways in the winter. With this brush my problem is solved, even with no extra product. The only problem is, if you are used to that scraping feeling on your scalp from hard plastic bristles you will not find them here. Now is that really a problem?
