*Arconic Curved Paddle Brush (£19.99)I was kindly sent this brush to test out; this unusual curved paddle brush was created for medium to long hair lengths by John Gillespie. I have gone through so many paddle brushes since I discovered how amazing they were for long, thick hair back in my early teens. Paddle brushes can manage the amount of hair I have so much easier than regular sized brushes, so I don't have to spend forever brushing my hair.
The curved shape of this paddle brush is specifically designed for blow drying large sections of hair easily and to create 'movement with a strong finish'. I don't blow dry my hair regularly but this month I have been more often which my hair is rebelling against, it doesn't like to be brushed, it likes to be left alone. This curved paddle brush has definitely been helping to dry, smooth and tame my frizzy, long hair when I need to blow dry it rather than let it dry naturally. I've also been using it on my almost dry hair to smooth out the frizziness or to dry it fully.
It seemed to hold my hair really well while it's being dried and the curved shape helps me to dry large sections while smoothing and reducing frizz. If you have medium to long hair that is unfortunately prone to frizziness or if you aren't very skilled when it comes to blow drying your hair, like me, then you need to check out this brush. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
Do you have any blow drying tips or product recommendations? Have you tried this brush?
I really want to try this! It sounds like a great buy.
ReplyDeleteI love a good paddle brush. This looks interesting with the curve
ReplyDeleteI've never got along with paddle brushes, they've always felt really uncomfortable and harsh on the scalp. This sounds wonderful though x
ReplyDeleteI used to always use paddle brushes when my hair was really long

I don't know how I used to cope with waist length hair, if mine gets past my shoulders I am wanting it cut off x
ReplyDeleteThat's such an unusual shape! I haven't used a paddle brush in years since getting my Tangle Teezer!

This looks really good. As I have thick and curly hair I have to stick to my tangle teezer, but this is so interesting! Xx
ReplyDeleteI've recently cut mine from waist long to lob and I'm loving life!
ReplyDeleteI'm completely the same with my hair! Need to try this brush out! X

This is interesting! I have such fine hair that I can pretty much use any brush! I actually use a mason & pearson which I've had (no joke!!) for 15 years xx
ReplyDeleteI love paddle brushes, I've used mine for years! Probably in need of a new one by now haha

I love the sound of this, and don't actually own a large paddle brush. I tend to stick to the detangling brush types.

I used to always use paddle brushes, I haven't in years. Think my de tangle brushes took over. I have such thick hair I should
ReplyDeleteReally start using it again.
