The J Beverly Hills Large Blue Paddle Brush features a wide, flat surface and a soft rubber air cushion base. Unlike the thin nylon detangling brush, the classic large paddle is built to act like a flat iron during your blowout—offering maximum coverage to wrap, flatten, and straighten long, thick, or coarse hair quickly.
The shape makes it perfect for "wrap drying"—a classic styling technique used by professionals to get a super straight, sleek texture without losing all the natural body.
The Wrap-Dry Styling Method
1. Rough dry your hair first: 70-80% dry.
Do not try to style dripping wet hair with a paddle brush. Shake out excess moisture with your hands and blow dryer until your hair is mostly damp rather than wet.
2. Wrap dry for ultimate flatness: Technique.
Take a large section of hair from one side of your head. Place the paddle brush at the roots and brush the hair across the curve of your head to the opposite side, following closely behind the brush with the nozzle of your blow dryer pointing downward. Repeat this in the opposite direction. Wrapping hair across the head's natural curve flattens the cuticle perfectly.
3. Pull straight down for length: Smoothing pass.
Once the roots are mostly dry from wrapping, change your angle. Insert the paddle brush underneath a section of hair at the roots and pull straight down to the ends, keeping the blow dryer aimed down the hair shaft. The wide surface area creates perfect, flat tension to iron out waves.
What Makes the Paddle Brush Stand Out?
• Air Cushion Relief: If you notice a little "hissing" or air escaping when you press down on the brush, don't worry—that's intentional! The small ventilation hole at the bottom of the rubber cushion allows air to circulate, letting the brush conform perfectly to the contours of your scalp.
• Massaging Ball-Tips: The bristles are tipped with tiny protective balls that gently massage the scalp, stimulating blood flow while ensuring the stiff pins never scrape your skin.
