Drybar Full Pint Medium Round Brush

I previously mentioned wanting to try this in a Sunday Dreaming post; a recent Sephora discount code made me make the leap.  Other than my other recent Drybar acquisition, it's been at least six years since I bought a full-sized brush so I was due.

This is the larger of the two round brushes that Sephora stocks from Drybar. I figured it was the size I was seeking for my actual blowout, so I took a deep breath and ordered it (despite it being more expensive).

According to Drybar, it's the ceramic in the brush that heats up and makes for the perfect blowout.  I've been using this brush about a month, and when I have time to do it right, I really enjoy it.  Admittedly, at 5AM I usually don't take the time.

I find that this brush works well and I can eliminate any further styling of my hair when I take the time to blow it out in sections.  This creates a lovely, natural look that I'd love to have the ability to recreate on a daily basis. In the name of time management, it's not so practical with my hair that resists drying like nobody's business.

Bottom Line: There are probably cheaper alternatives that create a similar final look. However, as infrequently as I buy brushes, this works for me. if you're looking for high-quality tools and don't mind the pricepoint, I recommend looking into Drybar's brushes.  I'm quite happy with the two that I have.

Pricing/Availability: $40, via Sephora, Drybar, or QVC.

Drybar Lemon Drop Daily Detangler Brush

I'm an admitted beauty junkie, but that doesn't normally extend to hair styling tools.  I have a trusty blow dryer (which I picked up at Marshalls), I received a Chi flat iron for this past Christmas, and have been nursing one singular large curling iron for years.  I have a couple of brushes that I adore that I bought at Walmart at least a decade ago.

So what drove me to pick up this brush?

Truth told, I've heard such great things about Drybar and their tools (I'm going to make it to a location for a blowout one of these days!) that this seemed like an inexpensive way of sampling the line.  At $15, it's the least expensive tool carried by Sephora.


I've been playing with this brush for a few days, and I can see a real difference.  My hair doesn't tangle as often, and getting the knots out is much easier. 

Admittedly, I'm a sucker for the bright yellow handle.  Drybar claims that this conditions and shines and that it's designed for brushing out extensions or clip-ins.  I have below shoulder-length, straight hair.

This is about the same length as my Tivo remote.  I didn't take a comparison shot, but it's just a nice, comfortable size.

The only downside?  I want to try some of the round brushes ($35-40) now.
