Great Brush, with exceptions!
Very challenging review to write. I actually love this curling brush! The best part is the curl release button, which enables the hair to stay in the shape you just curled it in, rather than to be pulled out. And while the brush gets really hot, the barrel is almost too smooth, as your hair gets really smoothed out as well - this can make your hairstyle look flat and droopy though:/ The method I've figured out that seems to work the best, is to use as small a grouping of hair as possible, and to leave it curled for at least 20 seconds. Unfortunately this can make curling your hair take longer than expected...sigh! And I thought the wide barrel at 1 1/2 inches would produce more natural curls, which it does, but the larger size seems to be harder for your hair to hold the curl, 1 1/4 inches would have been better. Would I buy this brush again? Absolutely, as it works as promised for the most part; perhaps it's my expectations that need to be revised as I hoped I could have used a larger section of hair while curling, instead it just takes longer to achieve the desired effect. One point to note, my hair is really porous and on the frizzy side, so it might work better on hair that's not as unruly as mine.
