AIMIKE Round Brush for Blow Out, Medium Round Hair Brush Nano Thermal Ceramic & Ionic Tech, for Blow Drying & Styling, Curling and Shine - 2.9 inch Barrel w/Boar Bristles

So far I love this brush! The clips that came with it are the best!! I bought a box of those clips a few months ago and loved them so I felt good about ordering the brush of the same brand. Bottom line, pick the right size for you and try this brush!My experience: My hair is not layered and about an inch past my shoulder blades. I have a lot of hair but it is really fine. My hair is a combination of 1A and 2A. It doesn't hold any kind of style very easily or for very long and is only wavy in the back but under the top layer of 1A hair that grows down the back from the crown. I have to use products and appliances that are gentle and stick with lower heat settings or my hair will burn. I have wasted a lot of money on round brushes. The common issue for me was all the brushes had tiny gaps where, for example, the brush and the handle were assembled. That gap would grab one strand of my hair at a time and put it out. I was never able to determine if it would make my hair look good or not. It was returned or thrown away for this reason.This brush does not do that. It appears to be assembled tightly. I know some reviewers showed that their brush broke. I will update if mine does but so far it seems to be well-made. Of the four sizes they offered, I bought the second one, 1.3/2.4 inch. For my hair's length I should buy the next size up, but if I get the larger circumference then the top inch or so of my hair doesn't get onto the brush and I really need that lift at the root. If my hair was more coarse or more wavy a larger brush would be better but my very fine hair needs this size.I noticed some reviewers said the brush damaged their hair. I thought carefully about that and decided to try it anyway. My blowout went better than it has ever gone with any other brush! Looks like the I went to the salon. It is lightweight and easy to hold. My hair dried faster with this ceramic coated barrel so less heat on my delicate hair.I wonder if reviewers who said it damaged their hair were wrapping their hair all the way around the brush starting up high, and then pulling it all the way through to the ends. If so, that's why their hair was so damaged. Nearly any round brush will destroy your hair if you don't use it carefully. There are videos out there that show you how to use a round brush. That's how I learned.I dry my hair in about the same size sections as I would curl with my wand. First I dry the roots a little with no brush. Then I divide the top, sides, and back into 4 big sections. The I section the top section horizontally and start drying smaller sections with the round brush. I pick up a section, place the round brush at the root under the hair, lift up and about a 1/4 turn, and blow the top side of that section, not the underside, so the air is pointing down on my hair. The heat goes into my hair and straight into the the part of the brush that's touching my hair. So my hair takes the curved shape of the brush and gives me more lift. If I blow from the bottom, I'm heating the side of the brush that has no hair on it, and drying the hair underneath without the benefit of the brush. So I lift, dry for a few seconds, turn the brush back to where I started, slide it down my hair a little and repeat until I get to the end. After I've done my whole head, I go back to the ends to finish my style for the day. You can roll just the ends all the way around the brush, turn on your hairdryer, and create whatever bevel you want--flip them up, turn them under, out to the side a bit--whatever you like. The second day I use my ceramic flat iron at a low heat and restyle the roots and ends of my hair. The ceramic plates seal the hair and I get a day 2 that I don't have to do much to my hair.This brush didn't damage my hair, pull my hair out, tangle, or hurt. Any round brush will damage your hair if you twist your hair around it and pull the brush through your hair, especially while it's wet and you're concentrating heat on it. Plus the hair under the brush gets picked up and pulled into the brush going the wrong direction so when you twist the brush into your hair it knots and tangles and you get even more damage.I am really pleased with how my hair looks blowing it out with this brush. It's full considering its texture, soft and smooth, no tangles. Very few hairs in the brush which is really important! I hope this information is helpful to someone.

First of all I'm not being paid or anything to post this review. Photos taken are recent and no filters to enhance what my hair looks like. That being said,I LOVE this brush. I have always wanted to learn how to do my own blow outs (is that what they're called? Lol)So a few how to vids and some quality product, (Aveda all the way for me), this brush was the missing piece to the puzzle. I have issues with my right shoulder and my hands have arthritis so it was important that I find a brush that was easy to rotate without ripping my hair out (no one loves that😬).I have fine hair but a ton of it so it was hard to adapt to a new routine to get that salon blow out look. Ultimately, I have to bend over so my head is upside down and prop my bad shoulder/arm on the vanity, (ya do what u gotta do right? Lol), and take a section at a time just like you would if you were upright.Sooooo back to the brush. Here is why I LOVE it: •super easy to rotate •love the handle •it does not pull my hair out •it allows me to have soft wispy waves (using low heat dryer setting and cool air blast button).I use a minimal amount of heat protectant hair solution to protect my hair from the blow dry process (Aveda). I never use high heat and I always use the cool blast setting button at the end of each section of hair I'm working on. I am NOT one to fiddle around for more than 15 min with my hair. At first, it took about 30-ish min to find my groove with this brush but after a couple rounds I am now in sync with it and it takes 10 maybe 15 min to complete the hair style I want. Also, this is not a daily thing for me but self care has become more important as I get older. I live in a super dry climate so my hair was feeling like straw (eww), I know I had to just keep trying things until something stuck :-)I'm 55 and I am 100% happy with my hair. I owe it to quality products, hydration for sure - I drink a ridiculous amount of water, and I am now adding this brush to the list.Also, be mindful of heat settings and how long you hold a section with any kind of heat on it. (I read some users said it burnt their hair). As I mentioned, I have fine hair but a lot of it so it feels thick and that can be deceiving so I don't overheat it and I'm patient when it comes to caring for it.Wow, I kind of rambled on here but it's rare for me to fall in love with a product to the point of posting a review and pics to boot! LolI hope this is helpful to those looking for a great round brush.Recap: 55 yrs of age, fine hair but a lot of it, dry climate so great products for hydration and scalp care are key plus drinking water, give yourself time to get into a routine with your new brush.I really had no idea a round brush could change how I approach my hair styling. I haven't used heat irons of any kind for many years now and this brush helps give me the look of the soft whispy waves that I like without the damage of heat.Phew! The end 😁

I have naturally curly hair, and this brush made blow-drying and straightening so much easier! The grip is excellent, and the boar bristles really helped smooth my hair without tugging or causing breakage. I was especially impressed by how well it handled my curls, it left my hair looking shiny and sleek. The included clips are also great quality and hold hair in place perfectly while styling. Definitely recommend this brush for anyone looking for salon-like results at home!

A little bigger then I expected

This was exactly what I was looking for to replace my other beloved styling brush that finally gave up the ghost but I couldn’t ever find one I loved as much. Well done! I love it!!

I love how gentle this brush is with my hair. Previous brushes would make my hair break, and happy this does not.

I absolutely love this brush!! It's a lot lighter than I thought it would be, and it's perfect for my very thick curly hair

Good brush, a little big to hold in your hand. Would like if it was smaller in size. Decent price. Perfect for thick hair
