This brush is AMAZING. It cut my drying time down and my hair is voluminous and beautiful. It looks almost like I had hot curlers in it. No frizz or static which is great for me in the cold northeast winter. I didn't even need to use my flat iron after, nor did i want to flatten it so this saved me time as well. I think I have the 1 & 3/8" or the 1 & 3/4" barrel. I usually use a larger barrel Chi ceramic brush, but wanted a smaller barrel to give me some more curl. I saw this at Ulta and was hesitant to spend $17 for a brush since I've never had one that was worth more than ten bucks, but wow...i really do see a difference! It's sturdy and I'm sure will last a very long time. I did not know about the pick at the bottom of the handle, but i will be trying that out. I kinda wish it wasn't white because it will probably get dirty, from makeup being around and I occasionally use a dark brown dry shampoo powder, but I can deal with it. I highly reccomend this brush! continued >>

This cylindrical barrel brush is great, it leads to faster drying time when using it to blowdry my hair, and adds more volume to it. It's called Ceramic + Ion Thermal Brush/Tourmaline brush. It's also really cool because the metal nub on the bottom of the handle comes off and can be used as a pick.

looove this brush!!! made of 100% boar bristles...my hair looks so shiny. Bought my at ulta..Its white with a gray handle.
