So let me first start by saying that I received this crazy new Goody brush for free for testing purposes. I belong to a free consumer testing site called Influenster which allows me to try out new products and give my opinion on them. If you’re interested in this program, contact me and I’ll send you an invite, I get 5 a month. I know that they do have a Canadian program, but I’m not sure about other countries.
Ok, having said that, I most likely would not have just walked in to a store, saw this brush and purchased it because I use a round brush when blow drying my hair. This new QuikStyle brush comes in paddle form (shown below) and a semi round version, no full round brush style is available as of now 😦
On to the review!
When I looked at this brush, my first thought was “I hope my hair doesn’t get tangled up in it” followed by “I wonder if this crazy thing actually works?”. Guess what…my hair didn’t get tangled up in it, and yes, it actually works! Wooohooo!!!
The microfiber nubby things (I know, very technical explanation) help draw water out of your hair while you brush, therefore cutting down on your blow drying time. Now as a disclaimer, I do have pretty fine hair, so I can’t really speak for this brush’s effectiveness on thick hair, however several Influensters (fellow testers) who do have thick hair have said that it’s very effective for them as well. I would say that with my medium length fine hair, the QuikStyle reduces my blow drying time by about 5 minutes. By helping to cut down on blow drying time, this brush not only speeds up your styling, but in my opinion, can ultimately save your hair from unnecessary damage caused from extensive heat exposure. When you’re done drying your hair,just lay your QuikStyle brush flat to dry.
Bottom line…
Would I recommend getting a Goody QuikStyle brush? YES
Is it a good investment at around $12.00? YES
My overall grade for this product – B+ *Note…if Goody comes out with a fully round version of the QuikStyle, my grade would without a doubt be an A. Although this brush does cut down on my drying time, I have to use a round brush on the bottom of my hair to style it how I like to, which is the only downfall to this amazing, ingenious, innovative Goody product.
