You will be amazed!
I just got this delivered today and immediately unboxed it and tried it out. I'm a black woman and about 5 mo ago I decided to stop using chemicals in my hair (had a body wave). As you can imagine, my hair was getting very hard to comb through as the new growth really started to kick in. I had tried a flat iron (for the first time) a few days ago and it was soooo time-consuming and I did not like the results. My hair is VERY thick and I thought my arm would fall off so I did it kind of half-assed. With that experience I knew I would probably never use the thing again.  Anyway, I plugged up the brush and it heated very quickly, in moments it was ready. I put it on 150C starting out. I increased to 160 since it seemed to work better on a higher setting for my hair.<br /><br />Now, I have seen bad reviews on here saying how it didn't work at all or not that well. I am wondering if these people had the setting up high enough. Also, if the temperature was high enough, how were you brushing it through your hair? The key is to SLOWLY brush your hair. You also cannot use it like a regular brush, meaning you should do a section at a time and use one hand to hold the hair and give it some tension as you brush through it. That's what I did, anyway. It's no different a concept than using a hot comb (only much safer and much more unlikely you will burn your ear off lol).<br /><br />So, as far as the actual product goes, it's great. It does what it says it will do, assuming you are using it properly. I honestly don't know how I have lived without this in my life for so long. My only gripe (which, I felt, wasn't reason to lose any stars) is the placement of the on/off and temperature buttons. It is a very inconvenient place and you WILL accidentally hit the buttons while you are brushing your hair. It's just not a good place to put the controls. I feel it should be further down on the handle and perhaps on the under side of it, as opposed to the side of the handle or the back. The user manual also leaves a little bit to be desired. I doubt a native English speaker wrote it. You will get the gist of what's going on though. Even though the controls are in Celsius, you can change it to Fahrenheit. Just don't ask me how this is accomplished because it is not in the manual. The change was triggered by my numerous, accidental, button presses toggling between C and F and I didn't pay attention to what was actually initiating the change. One of the previous reviewers said there is a way to lock the controls by pressing power so many times but left out how many times lol... I may update my review if I play with it to actually unlock this hidden power.<br /><br />tl;dr<br /><br />Buy it, learn how to use it, and you will love it!
