Ibiza Hair - Boar Bristle Concave Barrel Brush (RLX4-65mm)

Ibiza brushes are made in Spain. They are expensive. They are worth EVERY PENNY. I just purchased my second Ibiza brush. The picture on the left is my first brush, bought in a beauty supply store in Manhattan Beach, CA for $44 in 1989. I still use it to this day...34 years later. That's about 1.30 a year thus far!!...and still in perfect condition!The picture on the right is my second Ibiza brush, which I received today. It was $50 from amazon. I chose the concave style this time, as my hair is now shorter, and I like the way it feels against my head.The handles of these brushes are made of cork, making them lightweight to hold while using a blow dryer. The bristles will provide sufficient tension to gently draw the hair straight and provide silkiness without frizz.Paying fifty bucks for a hair brush is something I would NEVER have considered before this. I'm planning to get another one with a slightly smaller barrel (for the sides and neck area) and I have no guilt about the price. At this rate, the brushes will outlive me!With amazon's generous return policy it would be worth it to try. A splurge on yourself, indeed!

Excellent product as promised

I am a white girl. I have thick wavy hair that is hard to manage. Not anymore!! This rows of bristles are set up so your hairs stays on the brush. Excellent tension. I can actually pull, roll and shape my hair like a stylist. The brush is light weight, stays in my hand and is super comfortable. I have been using Brocato Cloud 9 Blowout Serum and Heat Protector. Hair is soft, super manageable and feels healthier.I add both products to my hair when it's wet. Allow to air dry till 60-80% dry then blow it out(or quick blow dry all over). Hair drys faster!! This product feels a little sticky but goes away after hair is dry.

I kicked myself a little because this seems like such a ridiculous price for a hairbrush. I take it back. This is so lightweight it actually makes performing a blowout on my hair so much more enjoyable. My hair is smoother and sleeker and my arm is less tired. My hair tangles/gets caught in the brush significantly less than it did on my DryBar barrel brush. There aren't too many things to be said about a brush, but it's really a wonderful product. i just cut my hair so I need a smaller size and I'm actually considering another splurge to get the smaller version.

This brush is pricey, but it kicks the pants off of cheaper brushes. My hairdresser recommended a wood barreled boar bristle brush, advising that metal or ceramic barrels generate too much heat. The first time I used it, I immediately noticed two big pluses— my hair didn’t tangle and when I finished, my hair was much smoother. I like the concave shape and the light weight of the brush. It is very easy to use.

It’s nice and lightweight but I felt the bristles made my hair frizzy. I returned it.

lightweight and doesnt make my hair frizzy

I don’t love this brush as much as others. I know it is often used by professionals, but I struggle with it. Have medium long fairly fine hair and it gets caught up a lot and it seems to take longer to dry my hair when I use this brush. Overall, just fine.
