I believe you could have received a round brush as well, but I am horrible at using those so I am happy I got this one. Plus, I straighten my hair a lot more than anything so I don't need the roundness, although I like the volume it gives.
Here's some basic info on the brush, taken from the Goody product page on Influenster's website:
The GOODY® QUIKSTYLE™ Paddle brush works like a towel and brush in one. The super absorbent (and antimicrobial) microfiber removes 30% of water from wet hair to help speed your drying time! You can effortlessly detangle right out of the shower and continue using it while you blow dry!
Anyway, this brush is great! I had my doubts but I was very pleased. The microfibers worried me because I thought ok, if they get wet won't they start to get... gross? But they haven't on me yet! And they also really do speed up drying time. But what I was most pleased with is that I could tell that my hair was softer after a blowout. Sometimes when I blowdry my hair it gets kind of... crispy? Is that the word? But anyway, this brush doesn't do that. It glides through your hair effortlessly and I feel that it is also a great detangling brush. I've been using this on my hair even when I'm not styling it and I'm still very pleased. It's pretty pricey from what I see on the Influenster page ($12.99) but I would say it's worth it, and I'm sure there's a coupon somewhere you can find. I love how it makes my hair feel and it speeds up your blowout which means it'll save you some money on buying blowdryers whenever yours goes on the fritz. Also I've found that since this works so well, I'm using less heat on my hair. Not only is it speeding up blowouts so I'm not using my hairdryer as much but it actually straightens my hair instead of just drying it. It leaves it silky smooth and straight so I don't even need to use my flat iron. Less heat, less damage.
Thanks Influenster and Goody!!
