Wonderful and Amazing Gizmo!
I am very happy with this straightener. I myself have long, very curly hair, it is about 6 inches below my bra strap. I don't often attempt at straightening my hair because of the amount of time involved and because of the often awkward positioning I have to use to accurately get the job done. It usually takes a good 45 minutes using a flat iron. Using this brush took only about 15 minutes and that was with a first time user.<br /> The brush came with very easy to understand, comprehensive instructions. It explained what all the buttons and such were, the different setting styles and how to achieve the best result. I was very glad that is explained things so well. It recommended pitting product in your hair before use and drying thoroughly beforehand. I did not do this for my first test run and still came out with an amazing result. I have since,  in later applications used product in my hair beforehand as recommended and the result was even better.<br />I was worried about burning either my scalp or my hair (having done both before using a flat iron) , but the teeth on the brush keep it a safe distance from  my scalp and neck. I also found that the manner in which the hair is gathered at your starting point keep you from getting that &#34;flat ridge starting point&#34; that looks horrible. It was a smooth from start to finish. It sits in such a manner on the counter that it is not going to burn anything also. It also has a thermostat that is very accurate for different types of hair.<br />I am VERY pleased with this product. I highly recommend it, for both &#34;first time&#34; flatteners or &#34;seasoned&#34; flatteners. I did receive this product at a discount for my unbiased opinion. I will however be purchasing several more as gifts.
