Cricket Ultra Smooth Coconut Thermal Brush - 2", #390
The Olivia Garden Ceramic + Ion Round Thermal Brush brings together a ceramic-coated barrel and tourmaline ion technology in a lightweight, seamless body designed for professional blow-drying and styling. The 45 mm barrel is a practical middle size for medium to long hair, offering enough surface area to smooth and shape without the bulk of larger barrels. For stylists building volume, soft waves, or a polished blowout, this brush delivers the heat retention and airflow control that make round-brush work more predictable behind the chair.
At a Glance

Features & Professional Benefits
The ceramic-coated barrel is the core of this brush's professional appeal. Ceramic heats up quickly and retains warmth, which helps maintain consistent tension and shape as you work through a section. Combined with the large vent holes, the barrel allows hot air to pass through rather than simply bouncing off the surface, supporting faster moisture evaporation and more efficient blow-dry services.
Tourmaline ion technology is the second key feature. In practice, this means the bristles and barrel work to neutralize the static charge that builds up during blow-drying, which is especially useful for fine, flyaway, or frizz-prone hair. The result is a smoother pass and a finish that reflects light more evenly—without relying on additional styling products to tame static.
The soft-tip nylon bristles are firm enough to grip and direct hair, but rounded at the ends to avoid scratching the scalp during close work around the hairline and nape. A retractable sectioning pick is integrated into the base of the handle; pull it out to separate clean sections, then retract it when it is not needed so it does not interfere with rotation.
Professional Applications
The 45 mm diameter is a workhorse size in the salon, particularly for clients with medium to long hair who want a smooth, voluminous blowout with movement at the ends. It is large enough to build body through the mid-lengths and crown, yet small enough to create a soft bend or flick at the perimeter. Stylists can use it for classic round-brush blowouts, smoothing and straightening with tension, or shaping loose, polished waves. The vented barrel and ion bristles also make it a sensible choice for clients with static-prone or frizz-prone hair who want a sleek finish without heavy products.

Pro Tips
For the most controlled result, work on towel-dried hair and direct airflow from the dryer down the length of the hair shaft while maintaining tension with the brush. Use the retractable pick to cleanly subsection the hair before styling—this keeps the 45 mm barrel working through manageable sections rather than overloading it, which helps maintain consistent tension and a smoother finish from root to end.
