Cut my straightening time in half
I have used various different methods to straighten my hair and this is my first time trying a straightening brush. I had seen a lot of different makers of this type of straightener so I thought it was time to give one a try. I have tried this one my hair twice. Usually when I straighten my hair it holds for a few days so I was able to see if this worked more than just once.<br /><br />The straightener heats up quickly but the display is in Celsius not Fahrenheit so it took me a moment to get the settings right. I used it on the highest setting and both times it did a very good job at straightening my hair. I did have to touch it up the next day but that was easier because I was able to just run the brush through my hair. My ends on the other hand didn't straighten as well as I thought they would and I wasn't able to get as close to my scalp as I am able to with my flat iron. Now if you need your hair to have volume this may not be an issue but for me I prefer my hair to lay flat. Unlike my flat iron this straightener doesn't leave my hair smell as if its been burnt. The straightening time is shorter with this also. Normally it takes me over an hour to straighten my hair this has cut my straightening time down to 25-30 minutes.<br /><br />Pros<br />It heats up quickly<br />Straightens my hair in a shorter amount of time<br />Doesn't leave a burnt smell to my hair<br />Easy touch ups<br /><br />Cons<br />Doesn't get close to the scalp<br />Does a flip on the ends, not totally straight<br /><br />Overall I like this a lot and I wish I could get closer to my scalp and the ends were straighter.<br /><br />I received this item at a discount for review and evaluations purposes
