Expensive, but worth it. After being bombarded on Facebook by ads for this brush, I started to become obsessed with having it. There aren't many reviews on it yet since it's so new. So I decided to use my $20.50 in Ultamate rewards dollars and my $3.50 coupon, so it wasn't quite as painful buying it. Washed and blow dried my hair last night. Still used my regular wet brush to brush my wet hair, as the flat mate really doesn't do well with wet hair. I then used the flat mate toward the end of drying , and after drying. Huge difference in smoothness and shine. My hair looked like I'd used my thermal straightening brush or a flat iron, and I hadn't. Just brushed with this brush. It really does smooth the hair, makes in shinier. I'm looking forward to brushing out curls with it today. If you're on the fence with this brush, I say buy it. Wait for a 20% coupon if you have to, but it's a yes for me.
Okay but not the best I bought this brush for two reasons: I LOVE DryBar and I wanted a boar bristle brush. I decided to purchase this and the Mason Pearson Junior BN2 to compare them. The BN2 is a medium sized boar bristle and nylon tuft brush that is similar in size to the Flat Mate. I have thick hair, so I need the single nylon tuft to help detangle when brushing. After using both brushes, I can honestly say I understand and COMPLETELY support the hype surrounding the Mason Pearson brush. If you can afford the MP, it's worth the splurge; if you can't, the Flat Mate will work, but I'm not sure it's worth 8x the price of others. I agree with the comments about the decals peeling off or hair getting under them and pulling. I agree that this is an annoyance and I would expect more from DryBar. I still love DryBar, and the lemon drop is an amazing brush, this product just isn't for me.

I love this brush! It was expensive but well worth the money! It brushes all of my hair without catching or pulling my hair. I consider it an ouchless brush! It shines my hair in the process. I would recommend this to anyone!

I read all the reviews on this brush stating the metal stickers on the handle would come off and in some case led cut peoples hand. I was still interested in the brush so I went to check it out in person and to my surprise there is only a little oval sticker that's really set into the handle so I ended up purchasing it with a gift card. I'm so happy I did. I love this brush. It leaves my hair feeling soft and shiny. Highly recommend.
