Olivia Garden Ceramic + Ion Speed XL - Extra-Long Round Thermal Hair Brush - Not Electrical - Professional Blowout Brush for Normal to Thick Hair

This brush is wonderful! I have coarse, 4a African American hair, and this brush made blow drying my hair so much easier than using a paddle brush. The amount of tension is perfect. I was worried about the flexible bristles, but they’re effective and gentle. They even feel like a little scalp massage. The brush retains a good amount of heat, but not enough to burn my skin. Blow drying went very, very quickly. The extra long barrel is the best part. I can grab more hair at a time without tangling my hair. It helped smooth my hair so much that I didn’t have to use high heat with the blow dryer or flat iron after. My hair doesn’t smell burnt. I’m in love with this thing.

My experience with this brush (hair type is a soft wave 2a-2b, ribcage length, currently bleached/dyed, super fine and breaks easily): The bristles of this brush were much coarser/thicker/rougher than I expected, which initially worried me because my hair is prone to breakage. But the bristles work great. My hair doesn’t slip out of the brush like it does with regular brushes. This brush is extraordinarily lightweight, which shocked me based on how it looks and the fact that the barrel is ceramic. The barrel is long, so I can dry larger sections at a time. I like the “pick” style attachment at the end of the brush for cleaner sectioning so that I’m less likely have the dreaded round brush tangle. The ceramic heats up the longer you use it with a blow dryer, so don’t grab it by the barrel after using high heat. Personally, I haven’t noticed it get hot enough for touching it to be an issue, but I also wait til my hair is mostly dry to start a blow out. With the ceramic brush and heat, my hair becomes super smooth and shiny. Now people think I recently dyed my hair or had it redone after I blow dry it. Even with all the blow drying hacks in the world, my hair would previously turn out frizzy before using this round brush. (I do use a lots of heat protectant because of the ceramic’s heat conduction). I like this brush enough that I might buy a smaller version to tame my insanely strong cowlick. Using this brush with high heat and gel can banish it for about 90 min, so I bet the smaller brush would grip the baby hairs more effectively and then I could get it to last longer. If you have a normal cowlick though, this brush should be enough to tame it and get the hair going the direction you want.

I’ve been using this brush and really like the size of it. It covers a good amount of hair, so it makes drying and styling much easier and quicker. It feels comfortable in my hand and glides through the hair without pulling too much. So far, it’s been a great addition to my hair routine.

I love this brush. It’s extra wide so it holds lots of hair and my blow-out time is much shorter. It also makes my hair smooth and shiny. I also love how comfortable the bristles are against my scalp. It’s a little pricey, but I am happy with my purchase and would recommend.

This brush is a must!!!!! I have purchased countless brushes and the Olivia Garden collection is the absolute best!!! I also have the pink large diameter brush. They are smooth and glide through your hair like silk. The brush does not pull or get caught in the handle and the XL length is amazing!!

Great brush, just too large for my needs

This hairbrush is great. Takes my hair less time to dry and easy to shape your hair style. Highly recommend

The barrel of this brush is twice as long as the conair ones. My hair doesn’t get wrapped around the handle causing it to break on the ends. I love this brush and wish I’d found it years ago!!!

Fiquei muito satisfeita

Exactly as described. This is my second time purchasing this brush. I liked it so much. I keep one at home and one in my travel bag.

This is a great brush. I thought it was a bit pricey, but it’s worth every penny. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again. I am a senior and my hair is thinning and this brush slides through my hair with no tangles.

Sehr gute Rundbürste! Liegt gut in der Hand und die Haare lassen sich wunderbar über die Bürste ziehen und eindrehen, ohne zu verheddern.

This was amazing. I got a recommendation for this brush from @shir1eygallery on TikTok. Ive always wanted to be able to do a salon blow out on my 3a curly hair but the brush always would get stuck, with this brush it just glides through easily. I bought a smaller brush at the same time from another brand and it got stuck in my hair. I ordered the 3 1/2 65 & this is how the hair turned out.
