I bought the vented brush used it for a few days and returned it. First it’s a lot smaller than a paddle brush no where near adequate for me I have long thick wavy hair. I also felt like it was flimsy and it felt like it would break easily(the black part). I haven’t tried the oval shaped one which may be better quality wise but i’d stay away from the vented one. I bought the vented one with hopes of it helping me blow dry my hair quickly nope I couldn’t even make it though one blow dry. I will look through my pictures I don’t remember if I took one of the brush or not if so I’ll post it.
For paddle brushes I tend to alternate between aveda and GHD. I also like the wet brush for after a shower and the madora purse comb. After I wash my hair I start off with the madora comb, then the wet brush, then my paddle brush. The madora purse comb is the best comb ever! I originally bought the full size and didn’t really like it, then I tried a mason person comb didn’t like it either. Then I decided to try the smaller purse size madora comb and LOVED it. I think that the size makes it easier to manage getting knots out of my hair and it’s so gentle I have a sensitive scalp. I was never a big comb person but my long hair gets very tangled after I wash it and wanted to find a wide tooth comb to help minimize the breakage.
