What I wanted except.....
Helen of Troy 1" curling brush purchased through Amazon.<br />This was what I have been looking for and was so excited to finally get one!  One problem is that it takes a while to heat up and then it doesn't get very hot.  Strangely, the very first use was excellent.... Hot enough to make curls fairly quickly.  Each time since then, it doesn't get hot enough.  I am going to keep working with it though.  Hopefully it is user error!  I am used to a hot air brush that gets hot quickly.  Maybe I am not giving it enough time.  If this is the problem, I will update my review.<br /><br />Update 2/13/13<br />This brush curling iron works awesome if given the proper amount of time to heat up.  It was as I thought, I wasn't giving it enough time.  However, it does need a lot of time compared to others I have used.  I have just gotten used to turning it on much earlier in my routine.  Not big deal.  Once it has enough time to properly heat up, it gives beautiful soft curls.  Love it!
