Beats the Brush straightener Hands Down!
Upon receiving this product my first impressions were, &#34;wow this looks weird, how is this thing supposed to work?&#34;. I also had my doubts about how well it would work on African  American non processed hair. Because the temperatures maximum  range was atleast 100°c less than the previous straighteners I've tested. This straighter features a new design, a six level temperature range of 130°c to 200°c, and a 360° rotating cord. It heats up fairly quick, around 30 sec to 1 min depending on the temperature setting. I decided to test this product on an African American thick and kinky hair type. This straightener did an amazing job. In comparison to the two brush straighteners I've tested previously. First of all I was able to get closer to the root. Which in my opinion is crucial for straight styles. And simply for appearance purposes. Who wants straight ends with kinky roots? Beyond that her hair came out pretty decent. I'd compare the end results to a blow dry with an accompanying light press. Press meaning (straightening or hot comb). For silky or loose curl hair types, this product would work twice as well. This device is easy to power on. And it has illuminating lights to show what temperature it's on. With other straighteners in this catagory, I've had issues with accidentally pressing buttons whilst in use. This was no longer an issue. The straightener also has a safety cut off feature. Which I found to be a blessing and a curse. Sure if you've forgotten to turn it off, fires will be prevented. However it can be irritating, it turning off while your sectioning your hair or applying product. There are a few things that could use improvement. A higher temp range,an alert sound when it's about to shut down, and a bag or case for storage when not in use. Instructions for cleaning would also be appreciated. I was very impressed with this product. And im almost positive you will be as well. If you'd like to see my video review of this product. You can find it on my YouTube channel. Search carel kennon. I recieved this product at a discount for evaluation purposes.
