Glad the forum is back up! I recently tested out a new brush over the weekend. Its called the straightening brush and its made by goody, conair or denman..here's a pic http://www.ballbeauty.com/images/d79.jpg . I have the goody version and tested it out over the weekend with a blowdrier on my thick air dried hair that was in a bun for a few days. I compared the straightening brush (right side) to my traditional ceramic round brush (left side). The results that I got from the straightening brush was straight, shiny and bouncy hair! It looked as if I had used a flat iron on it! Now when I used the round brush on the left section, my hair was still quite puffy and just did not yield the same results that the straightening brush did. I'm on a bun challenge , so I won't be able to try it on hair that is rollerset for one full month. I wanted to recommend it to some of the ladies that are having problems doing blow-outs ect. it is really a keeper.
