I must admit I was quite surprised that the handle of the Denman Paddle brush does not have a rubberised grip and is quite light weight. However this does not seem to affect the performance at all as the brush is easy to handle and maneuver whilst styling ones hair. Initially I did have to apply a little bit more pressure when running it through my dry hair as the cushion has more give than what I am used to. Though after a couple of days use I didn’t notice it anymore and I was just brushing my hair.

I have medium textured, wavy, shoulder length hair and a lot of it, so blow drying is a time consuming pain in the arm which I generally leave up to the professionals. However having used the Denman Paddle Brush to blow dry my hair I may just do it a bit more often. Firstly the pins gripped the hair well without pulling so one could move from one section of hair to the next without difficulty. The broad paddle brush means that larger lengths of hair can be blasted at one time thus cutting down on overall time. I was pleasantly surprised at the end result as my hair actually seemed to have cooperated and lain straight and flat down my back.

I would recommend this brush to those with thick wavy long hair.
