Most Helpful Positive Review 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.
Most Helpful Critical Review 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 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.
Best Brush ever 5
Melissa from Chicago, IL
Just purchased and I love this brush. Made my hair really soft and shiny. Will definitely recommend. If you are on the fence like I was, just get it. Totally worth it.
My New Go-To Brush 5
Ndgo from Orlando
Although it's a little pricey, it's really worth it -- use
points or get it on sale. This brush combs and smoothes at the same time. I had been looking at this brush for months. So glad I finally made the purchase. Very happy!!!
Love my brush!! 5
Brit from Louisville
Been using my brush for almost a year now and I love it!! I even noticed no more split ends for me. I found my official hair brush.
Worth the Splurge! 5
Jess from MD
This is the most fantastic brush I've ever owned. It's completely worth the steep price and is such great quality it will last forever. Also, the issue with the letters peeling off has been fixed! Perfect!
My fav brush ever! 5
Shoegazer from So.Cal
I have Dry Bar's Lemon Drop (which I love!) but it never really made my hair super shiny. I decided to just invest in a good boar brush and man, I'm SO glad I did. I absolutely love how my hair feels.
Worth every penny! 5
Elaine from Auburn, Ca
Feels great on my scalp, and doesn't break my hair at the ends, gently detangles. Great right before bed to brush out the day!
Great brush but 4
Marcia from SC
The letters do peel off in a day or two of normal use. It's fine but crazy considering the cost
My husband loves this 5
Samsgirl from Michigan
This brush really works well on my husband's hair. He keeps borrowing it. I'm full disclosure I got the brush 75%off in store.
I realize this brush is expensive but.......... 5
Coffeemom from Warner Robins, Ga
I like Drybar quality. The brush is not light in your hand- it's made very well. Good combination of bristles.
Great brush, but letters come off 4
JBarbie from Alexandria VA
The reviews are true. I haven't had this brush very long and the silver letters, which are just glued on, will come off. And they are sharp. I went ahead and removed the rest of the letters which was very easy. The overall purpose of the brush though is great and I'm otherwise happy with it.
AMAZING!!! 5
Cass from Des Moines
I absolutely love this brush. I never would have thought a brush actually makes a difference to your hair but this one does!!
It makes my hair so soft and silky & leaves my hair looking like I straightened it! Totally recommend.
Stickers Literally Stab You 2
Hope from New York
The bristles and the actual brush part of this brush are okay. I have long thick hair and this brush cannot untangle it at all. The absolute worse thing are the stupid letter stickers. I lost one r in the first week of use and it stabbed my thumb then the second r came off later with a stab to another finger but the worst was the other day when the y lodged itself under my pinky nail. I honestly have no idea how this product made it past quality control. if you do decide to buy this brush, do yourself a favor and remove the stickers before you even use it.
Love it!! 5
Brit from Louisville
Just got it today and I can definitely see shine and less frizz. My new favorite brush 😍

Second purchase 5
Mamaof4 from Modesto, CA
I purchased this brush less than a year ago and was absolutely in love with it. Somehow, with having three daughters, it disappeared but I loved it so much I had to re-purchase.
Brush is Great 3
Not a DB fan from Los Angels
Brush is great, metal DB stickers that slice into your skin and make you bleed are not. I removed them with a sewing needle after the third cut.
Okay but not the best 3

Disappointed; but I read the reviews 4

Meh 3
ProductFiend from Fairfax Va
I splurged on this brush and for the most part hehe enjoyed it. That is, until the brand letters on the handle started to peel off. Today the "D" came off as I was using it and literally went into my finger like a splinter, causing me to bleed. I will be taking it back to the store asap. I also noticed it collects a ton of lint, though the other brushes I store in the same place do not have this issue.
Returned 1
Rochellesparkles from Wylie,TX
I loved the bristles of the brush, but I had to return it. I had it around a week and the brush paint was chipping off and the handle has stickers that spell Drybar that were already peeling off. I am very careful with my tools and wasn't rough on the brush at all. I have lots of other Drybar tools and love them. But I can't keep a brush for this price with chipping paint and peeling stickers. Sadly Drybar has a serious quality control issue here. If they can fix the cheap letter stickers and paint chipping issue in a version 2 of the brush, I would buy it!
Never in my life have a loved a brush more 5
Kim from Yorktown, VA
I absolutely love this brush. I have damaged, bleached hair, and it has made such a difference in my hair. My hair is softer, shiner, and helps to disperse the oils in my hair so I don't have to wash it as often. It also helps to exfoliate my scalp so it's MUCH less dry and flakey.
The only complaint I have is that the "Dry Bar" logo comes off pretty easily, but that doesn't effect the usage of the brush.
I would buy this brush over and over.
My new FAVE 5
Tries EVERYTHING! from Reynolds, Illinois
From the moment I opened the package, I knew I'd forget how much I just spent on this brush. I no longer cared! This brush is beautiful and appears to be very well made. Outside of being a little larger than expected, this brush worked great and made my hair silky with the first brush stroke! It is my new favorite brush. I am telling EVERYONE about my "find."
Amazing 5
Alyssa from Sacramento, CA
At first I thought the price was insane, but after trying it, I realized this is an absolutely amazing brush. I never knew a brush alone could improve my hair so much. This brush makes my hair silky and shiny and diminishes fizz. It's thick enough to get all my hair and still reach my scalp, and I have thick hair. I was worried the longer bristles would be too scratchy, but they're not at all. Definitely worth it. I tried cheaper ones that claim to do the same, and the results they produced were far inferior.
Love this brush 5

This brush is better than my mason.
