Hair straighteners are all well and good, but they are not always the most user friendly of things, trying to avoid getting too close to the skin or burning the ears can slow down styling, that’s why the DAFNI Straightening Brush is such a clever idea.
Most of us have been using hairbrushes from a very young age and it is an intuitive motion, the DAFNI Straightening Brush can offer eight times the surface area of regular straightening tongs due to the individual ceramic bristles. The bristles are constructed with a high-quality ceramic coating and are springy, this means the hot surface doesn’t come into contact with the scalp. The brush has an ergonomic shape that makes it comfortable in the hand and can reach around the entire head, all you need to do is brush your hair from underneath for smooth glossy results.
The DAFNI Rose Gold Limited Edition device has a Curved Core surface, this concave design allows the brush to easily reach the roots, making for quicker and more effective styling, it also means for those with thicker, unruly or afro hair have greater control.
However, the operating temperature is 185˚C and non-adjustable, while this will protect most hair types and allow for daily use it may not be hot enough for very thick hair and could greatly increase the styling time. Included in the kit is a protective thermal cover and travel mirror, it is mains powered which makes for fast heating up and the rotating cord allows you to easily move around the entire head.
When tested out on my hair which is long and fine it left it looking smooth and glossy, it was very quick to use and felt like a much more natural experience than using straightening tongs, it also meant I could do it half asleep in the morning with minimal concentration and still ended up with great results.
