Brushworks Blow Dry Paddle Hair Brush

Brushworks Blow Dry Paddle Hair Brush is a vented paddle brush with flexi-soft detangling pins and a textured easy-grip handle, built for the part of the morning where the dryer is already running. The vents are the reason it is a blow-dry brush: air from the dryer passes through the head instead of being trapped against the hair, so a section is dry in fewer passes. The flexi-soft pins do the other half of the job, separating a tangle gently and staying kind to the scalp while you pull a section straight, and the textured handle is what holds your grip while you keep the tension. The brand states it suits most hair types and can be used on wet or dry hair - though on wet hair it advises detangling with a wide-tooth comb first, since wet hair stretches and any brush puts more strain on it than the same brush would on damp hair.

Benefits

• Air passes through the vented head rather than being trapped against the hair, which is what shortens the time a section spends under the dryer.
• Flexi-soft pins flex when they meet a knot, so smoothing a section through does not tug at the scalp.
• Cleared for wet or dry hair and most hair types, so it is not a brush you have to put away between washes.

How to use

• Dry the hair to around 80% and apply a heat protectant.
• Work in medium sections, directing the heat towards the brush while you move it through the hair with gentle tension.
• On wet hair, detangle with a wide-tooth comb before you start.
• Lift shed hair out of the pins with the end of a comb, then wipe the pad and the pins with a damp cloth - do not soak it, since water sitting under the cushion is what loosens the pad.
