Paul Mitchell Pro Tools Express Ion Aluminum Round Brush, for Blow-Drying All Hair Types

Wonderful brush! I was hesitant to purchase this brush, after reading other reviews....but am glad I did! I have fine, thin, wavy, shoulder length hair and prefer to use a round brush to dry and straighten out my hair. My hairdresser uses the same brush, so I searched for it. It arrived new, the bristles have not fallen out and after two weeks of use, I only found two hairs in it, which indicates it is not pulling out my hair. My hair does dry more quickly and is less frizzy using this brush. It is lightweight and the handle is comfortable to use. I recommend this brush.

Great round brush. Well made and I am totally happy with the merchandise. Lightweight in your hand, and the bristles do a great job of lifting the hair so it dries quickly. I don't have any problems with the brush getting tangled in my hair like other brushes I have used in the past.

Great brush for blowing out my bob hair cut. Bristles are soft, leaving my hair full of body!Great brush, easy to hold too!

I'm just using this to brush my hair, not curl it. Works fine. The bristles are REALLY stiff, like plastic, but without anything on the ends, they're very spiky and kinda painful. Yet they aren't so stiff that they reliably get through thick hair? I wanted to get a brush that didn't have those little plastic bits on the end which inevitably pop off, and I also wanted one that wasn't made from animal products; this fits both of those qualifications. It's not comfortable to use, but it's relatively easy to clean out, and it seems built to last.

I own 3 of these brushes in varying sizes and reach for them time and again out of all my brushes. They're truly the workhorse(s) of my mane stable (ha, someone pls laugh...) Here are some key features that make the Paul Mitchell brushes so stand out:1. They're well-made. The brustles, the aluminum surface, the handle. Everything is sturdy and won't fall apart. I've owned multiple brushes that barely last a year's worth of at-home blowouts and styling and these babies have lasted me 2+ years.2. The silicone/rubber handles are easy on the grip and comfortable for long use. My at home blowout lasts about 45 mins each, so that's a lot of gripping, pulling and twisting. While wooden handles look nicer, they eff up the skin on my palms like crazy and become super uncomfortable after about 3 sections of hair (ie. 5 mins into the job). They also don't offer much grip vs. the material on these brushes.3. The bristles and aluminum exterior make for faster drying. I cannot explain this wizardry. I just have a head full of thick ass Asian hair that's halfway down to my back and this baby gets each section dried in record time. I've tried other combos like nylon bristles with boar etc etc. None gets it done as efficiently and smoothly as PM.4. Lastly, these guys are easy to maintain. They allow me to pull the stuck hairs out easily when I want to do a brush clean-up. I soak them in a hot water/vinegar/baking soda solution and they're back to being clean and sterilized for future use. They also "dry" relatively quickly so they're ready to use the next day.

Great brush for blow drying. Great size for thick and long hair. Ergonomic grip, tangle resistant, and overall works great!

The bristles are strong and really hold my hair together. Beautiful blow dry like at the salon. The handle is also nice: feels good in my hand.Excellent value for the money, works well, easy to use and not heavy in my hand

Looks like a nice brush, but I didn't try it out because it was too small. I ordered the small/1.5" brush. That is an overall size, including the bristles. I was looking for a shaft of 1.5", so returned for the medium size. Many have asked for clarity on sizing. In my case that clarity would have prevented me from needing to return this item as I knew what size I wanted. Even in the Q&A, sizing info is unclear. Seller take note!
