Ibiza Hair EX3 Extended Cork Round Brush, Medium

COUNTERFEIT! I bought this brush in the large and medium. Both handles have broken off after about 15 uses. DO NOT BUY! I should've listened to the other reviews. I'm going to do everything I can to get my money back.

I genuinely like how my blowout came with using this brush. I have thin, curly and frizzy hair and I could tell how much shine my hair has by the end. The handle is comfortable and it really grabs and hold the hair well. I also like that the hairs around frame of my face are usually difficult to blow dry and with this brush I was able to manage them much better. So far I am happy with the results and how fast it took to blow dry my hair. Plan to buy the bigger brush for volume.

This brush is so lightweight and easy to use. I have very straight fine hair. With some good mousse and this brush, I can create a hair style that looks much fuller. My stylist even said that she was surprised that my shoulder length shag which is pretty layered didn’t collapse and had so much volume, given the texture of my hair. Best I’ve ever used. It’s magic.

I love this brush! Was a little worried to spend the money, which is why I put it in my "purchase later" box for two months, but finally ordered and couldn't be more pleased. My hairdresser uses them and swears by them. I have super curly, yet fine hair, so I worried the other posters who had grip issues may also be an issue for me. Thankfully the brush (I ordered medium) gripped my hair very well and ran through it smoothly-no snags or tangles. My blowdrying time was shorter than usual too, which is great because I had a baby 7 weeks ago and barely have time to shampoo much less blowdry these days, this was a true indulgence.I've included a couple pics of before and after for reference. I didn't use a flatiron, which I usually do to smooth out and finish, but honestly after blowing out, I didn't really need it. The brush left lots of bounce and volume and smoothness. Hopefully the Georgia humidity will be kind.

Haven’t used it yet - this ridge makes me wonder if this handle was resecured with an adhesive. It could break right off during the first use. Will update this review. Buyers beware - might be worth it to buy directly from Ibiza’s website instead.

I have a couple of these brushes in different sizes. I got the largest one first thinking it was best because that is what was used on me at a salon and she obviously has blow drying talents I've yet to obtain. This is the perfect size for me to create smooth sleek hair with a tiny twist at the end. I have medium length layered hair that is medium thickness and has subtle ombre. This brush makes it sleek and frizz free. It takes some time to master using a round brush and especially one with mostly natural bristles. I would never use another brush for blow drying. Just make sure your hair is about 70% dry before you start to use the brush to complete your blow dry and style. Recommend the EX3 vs. larger for those wanting to hone their skills before going bigger!

I have had these brueses before. These ones brokedown and got way to soft way to fast.

What!!! After maybe the 7th blow dry, the end part of the handle (cork) broke off. I missed the return window so I am stuck with an expensive broken brush.

Expensive, but high quality Brush with actual Natural Boar Bristles and handle made of light cork.Excellent packing but brush itself came in a flimsy cover not justifying the priceQuality of the brush is very good. STiff bristles, medium soft on the scalp. Good for thick hair. Very light to hold. Only time will tell whether the light handle will last.
