My brush experience with long, wavy, fine hair
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.

Great Brand / Better than expected
I’m very impressed with the Olivia Garden Ceramic + Ion Speed XL Round Brush. The quality is outstanding—it’s lightweight, easy to handle, and the ceramic + ion technology really helps reduce frizz while adding shine. I noticed that my hair dries faster when using this brush compared to others I’ve tried. The grip is comfortable, and the bristles glide smoothly without pulling or snagging. Definitely a must-have for anyone who loves salon-quality results at home!

Great quality
Easy to use, great quality. This brush doesn’t feel cheap. The bristles are firm, but don’t pull at the hair. Will definitely repurchase when needed.

Came with someone else's hair on it, but otherwise a good brush
This is more of a ding on Amazon than on the product, but it came with someone else's hair on it. Pretty gross. It wasn't too difficult to clean off though and the product otherwise is as expected. I haven't used it yet, but I will update my review once I do. I love the hair parting tool that comes on the end.
