Blowout Essential

Thank you to Olivia Garden and BzzAgent for kindly sending me the New Cycle Thermal Brush for free in exchange for an honest review. I've been testing it out for the last 2 weeks. For starters, my hair is naturally curly so whenever I decide to add heat a blowout is always my go-to! As a curly girl...y we know not all brushes work with our type of hair which is why I put this brush to the test. I've used it with my hair wet, damp, dry, and with hair products. Here's what I noticed: The bristles in it don't tug on my hair as much as my other round brush (yes I even compared the amount of hair fallout on the brush - I take my blowout tools very seriously lol), still left a voluminous bounce to the hair and most of all left it SHINY. The picture I took of me was with no hair oil (mainly bc I forgot but I didn't even need it). All I did was brush it out, brush outwards away for the face and held it with a hair dryer until dry and pin it up with velcro rollers. The ends are a little drier but my hair is chemically processed, it's not the brush's fault! I really like this size 1 5/8". The one I used to use is a lot bigger so the bounce wasn't as prominent. I noticed at least for my hair type it works better damp and a plus is that the handle doesn't get as hot as my previous brush handle did when combined with my hair dryer over the hair. To me it's curly hair approved! I'm definitely getting one for my mom for Mother's Day. It's easy to use, even for beginner blowout babies. Great size, weight and brushes don't tug as hard but enough to still be smooth and shiny. I'm obsessed!! This is now my go-to brush.
