To blow dry my hair to best effect I need a large barrelled round brush.

What I really want is a large round brush with bristles like those on a paddle brush but this doesn't seem to exist?

A ceramic radial brush is ok but the bristles are a bit too fine so my hair slips out.

I bought the Lee Stafford ball brush but it's too small- right bristles though!
I bought a large Mark Hill round brush but it broke on first use (total rubbish) and the bristles made my hair fluffy.
I am wasting a fortune does anyone know of a brush with bristles like a paddle brush but in the form of a large round brush? I have tried everywhere on the high street including Sally.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried a babyliss big hair?
Not too expensive and a fabulous finish.

Thank you for the reply. Yes I have a BBH but my hair is really fine so it drops quickly.

I have one I bought off ebay, I'm not sure if its the kind you mean, but it works fabulously on my fine hair. I'll try to find a link in a sec.

This is the one I have, I've got the 42 or 43mm one and it really keeps hold of my hair well, certainly long enough to direct my hair dryer onto each bit of hair, as I sort of curl the bottom under on my current style.

Thank you both. I had discounted those on account of the boar bristle/ nylon as I was rather hoping for a plastic bristle, but it sounds like they work well on your style Daryl which is how I wish my hair was! So I may give the eBay one a go- it's a great size and not an easy one to find- thank you

You're very welcome Smile I tried some other radial ones with plastic bristles (which have a tiny bobble of plastic on the end) I found because my hair was so fine, the brush wouldn't grip it - the bristles were too far apart with nothing in between. And I thought smaller was better for my shorter hair, until I tried the big one.
