Well worth taking the time to learn how to utilize the brush.
Thought maybe I'd made a mistake - but geez, I was determined to be patient and give it a shot.  Found it worked best, if hair had a small, and I mean small amount of light hairspray.  Also, use small sections of hair.  This brush/curler/straightener actually works on shorter or long hair - not a pixie cut though.  It heats up quickly - and works best when fully heated.  After using it just a few times, I am in control!  Very pleased with the brush and myself for being patient.  Great buy!
