Apalus Straightening Brush

[Beamodel]

I know you ladies have seen me recently post how much I adore this brush. When I first got it, I wasn't expecting much but my hopes quickly changed after using it. It straightens my hair very well. Better than what I expected.

I am one year and 3 months post relaxer and have an abundance of natural hair now. I wear my hair straight, therefore I needed something to blend my two textures seemlesly. I previously was doing blow outs then following up with my flat iron but the process was taking hours to do. Now since I've incorporated this Apalus straightening brush, my straight hair sessions have been cut down dramatically.

I've tried the brush on 420 and 320. I prefer it on the lower temp because it gets it just as straight. I do plan on trying it even lower than 320 in the near future too.

Please post any reviews/experiences, likes/dislikes you might want to share regarding this brush.

In case anyone wants to get one, I purchased the pink one from Amazon with prime 2day free shipping.

Do you still blow dry your hair prior to using the brush? I just bought the black one.

@Beamodel I plan to try mine today. Let you know how it goes

@IronButterfly
No, I air dry my hair now and use the brush afterwards. I was trying to find something that took the place of my blowing my hair out and this fit the bill perfectly. My hair comes out much sleeker with the brush than it did with blow drying.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I purchased one in Black.

And I won't wait 65 Years to try it. I promise to try it soon.

I have a similar brush and I love it. I got it off of Groupon. I prefer using it over my blowdryer to stretch my hair out

Same

Ordered yesterday and it should be here today. I air-dried last night and will try it when it arrives.

I only blow dry on occasion so this is a first for me in terms of getting it straight. I'll likely try it on the lowest setting to see how it goes.

@shawnyblazes

Did you get black or pink?

What are you using on your hair before you start the straightening process?

I ordered the pink and like when I blowdry I only have a leave in in my hair with a little bit of grapeseed oil prior.

@shawnyblazes

I'm tryna' decide between Grapeseed & Argan?

@shawnyblazes

I've used both but I usually add it to my leave in and let it dry. Then again, I'm only blowdrying and never want the hair sleek.

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

I may get this for DD. I await more reviews.

 

[trclemons]

I ordered one from Groupon too, but I probably won't use it until my end of the year length check.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

My box arrived and the baby woke up at the same time.

I'm over here eyeballing the box as I feed him.

i just used my brush after washing hair and using only jbco, i LOVE it! ironing my hair with handful of hair was too easy. i didn't blow dry it so i detangle as i went. Next time i will roller set or blow dry then use it. @Beamodel what oil did you use?

 

[Beamodel]

@Ltown
You used the brush on wet hair? Is that what you are saying.

@IDareT'sHair
Hmp... 65 years... I'm waiting, so hurry up, lol.

 

[Golden75]

Love my brush! I washed and DC'd yesterday, air-dried in braids. Applied L'Anza Healing moisture serum, detangled with my Tek brush and brushed on 350. My hair has a silky blow-out look. Much better than blowdrying. So glad I did not buy a new blowdryer during BF. For reference I am 4b natural. My ends feel great. With the blowdryer, they always felt rough and never really got straight; comb attachment, brush, tension method could not help these ends.

I'm debating if I want to use my flatiron, I may just to get it sleek since I'll probably stay straight for 2 weeks.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

okay. I think I like it. I only used 320 because Im scared lol.

The left picture is in the bathroom where I did the front bang section. The right, I went into the living room where the light is much better and stood in the window.

I will do the rest later in the evening.

[IDareT'sHair]

@Ltown

I'm glad you had Great Results Ms. LT!

I'm thinking about air-drying with Ultra Sheen Crème Press or a Blow-Dry Crème for my L-I?

 

[uofmpanther]

I bought one on Groupon, but I have yet to use it. Maybe I'll try it next weekend.

@Ltown Me too. I set a reminder in phone to be sure I cancel.

 

[flyygirlll2]

Great Thread @Beamodel I really like the AP brush. Eliminating the need to blow dry is fabulous.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I didnt do any more of my hair because the little one wasnt having it. I will try again on the 31st for my lc

 

[rileypak]

Welp I bought a pink one.
No idea when I'll get around to trying it but glad to have an alternative when the straightening bug bites me.

Can't wait to see more of all your results!

 

[mzteaze]

My hair gets semi straight with just a little tension and air drying. Now y'all got me wondering if the brush would work on the days when I want to wear straight hair. I've been dreading the flat iron.

Thanks LHCF!
