For years, I struggled with my incredibly thick, ridiculously curly mane. As a child, I avoided combing, picking or brushing my hair. I chose, instead to cut any piece that stood out from my perfectly circular fro. As I got older, I straightened my hair, making hair care much easier. Now, in my twenties, I prefer to keep my hair natural, meaning that hair care has become an issue again. Without a nicely straightened mane, I have had to get creative in taking care of my hair. Fortunately, I found the Conair Tourmaline Red Porcupine Cushion Brush, and I simply can’t live without it.
Maybe it sounds vain, ranting and raving about a hair brush. For someone who has spent most of her life dreading running a comb across her head, however, it is not. This salute to Conair’s greatest invention comes from a weary and grateful girl, tired of constantly fantasizing about shaving her hair. Conair has allowed me to be able to like, even love, my hair again. Conair has re-instilled in me a belief that sometimes companies that otherwise seemed useless, are actually worth a damn.
The Tourmaline Cushion Brush has a number of features that make it so effective on thick, unruly hair. First, tourmaline is a precious gemstone that has been crushed into a fine powder and infused into the nylon bristles and ceramic barrels, which naturally release negative ions. The ceramic coating on the metal barrels of the brush evenly distributes and holds heat longer, so that hair dries faster. The ions tighten the cuticle layer and seal in the natural oils. Finally, the Tourmaline Cushion Brush reduces static electricity in hair, leaving hair shiny and silky.
When I read all of this, I was somewhat cynical. However, Target happened to have marked this particular model down. I rationalized that not only was I getting a good deal, but it was time for me to invest some necessary energy into finding a resolution for my hair problem. Thank God I did. The minute I used my new brush, I knew Conair had a life long customer in me. Somehow the brush actually penetrated my naps, removing them, without causing me pain. The Conair Tourmaline Red Porcupine Cushion Brush literally saved my hair, as it was only a matter of time before I was going to shave it all off. Hands down, this is the best brush for any hair type, but particularly the more hard to manage manes.
