My "Islanders" group chat is where my 80 percent of my brain is during any given Love Island U.S.A. season. And recently, between a discourse on the Villa's "sensitive gangster," Amaya Papaya, and whether or not Ace is really 5' 10," one keen-eyed friend sent through a link to a product she couldn't add to cart faster after seeing a curly-haired Islander use it in her beauty routine: the Bounce Curl DefineEdgeLift Brush ($30).

A quick dive into this made-for-curly-hair brush, and apparently the internet's been onto this hair-saving five-in-one innovation for a while. Here's why it's so great. Those groovy edges? They're for a patented design meant to "create smooth, medium-sized clumped curls while offering precision parting and heatless curling. Perfect for wavy, curly and coily hair, it delivers defined curls with ease." Its flexible bristles are there for smooth, defined curls, and the handle doubles as a parting tool and heatless curler. The top edge is great for bangs or shorter layers. Plus, it's vegan and produced from FSC-certified materials. 

Who Is the Bounce Curl Define EdgeLift Brush Best For?

According to Bounce Girl's product page, the hairstyling tool has a wide range of potential users with all types of hair:

  • Ideal Hair Length: More than 3 inches (7.6 cm)
  • Hair texture: Fine, Medium, Coarse
  • Hair pattern: Wavy, Curly, Coily

Rave reviews on Reddit share: "YES and I'm OBSESSED. It really helps the curl clumps to form and find it is much easier and quicker than finger curling. Highly recommend!" And one user notes: "I have this brush and I love it. However, it's solely meant for styling and not for detangling. I use a Tangle Teezer and then the Bounce brush. It really improved my curl definition compared to detangling and styling all with the Tangle Teezer. It also made my styling way faster!"
