Not the style I was looking for...
**First I want to say that I received this product at a discounted price for my open and honest opinion.**<br /><br />And here it is...<br /><br />I love trying new products, especially for beauty and hair. My bathroom cabinets and bedroom containers probably contain more than a hair salon. I was lucky enough to be born with very &#34;versatile&#34; hair. I can get it super curly (naturally but with the right products, of course), it can go wavy like soft, like natural beach waves, it can go straight and full of body and volume or it can go pin straight and sleek. It all depends on what look I am in the mood for that day, how much time I have and what the weather is going to be that day.<br /><br />I have mastered my routine for all of these looks and use the hair products and tools necessary to get my desired look. I typically use a large round brush and hair dryer, sectioning it as I dry. It comes out straight, but full of body. I also use a teasing brush to get more volume.<br /><br />In order to give my honest opinion on how this brush worked, I knew I couldn't do my typical routine. I dried my hair without any brushes or products (only used serum). It had slight waves and frizz when it was fully dried. I used the brush starting with layers and temp around 300.degrees. I wasn't noticing much of.the &#34;straight&#34; look that I expected, so I turned up the heat to 400 and continued to brush in sections.<br /><br />The thing that really bothered me as I was using it is the placement of the heat control buttons. They are right on the sides, where you would grip the handle. There is a button to &#34;lock&#34; the heat setting in place, but I kept hitting that too which would unlock it and the temperature would increase or decrease.  After finishing brushing my whole head, I was a little disappointed. My hair was straight, but not anywnere near how I would want it styled. No matter how close I got it to my scalp, it never gave my hair the smooth look that I'm used to.<br /><br />More importantly, when I starting using the brush, I  noticed my hair started breaking off small peices. Talk about damaging! It almost looked like it started to fray and dry out. I also could not get the ends of my hair to be completely straight or curled into any sort of way - they were just dried out.<br /><br />I tried it again several days later and came out with the same results.<br /><br />Overall, I really like the concept of the brush, it arrived quickly and looked exactly as the pictures show. As for the brush itself and the results, I was dissapointed and unimpressed. I really did have high hopes because I thought it could be a big time saver. Unfortunately, I have to say, I wouldn't recommend this brush if you know how to style your hair with the tools you already have and use.  But, if you are not really comfortable with products, drying, styling, etc., then this might be perfect for you. I do think it might work better for someone with shorter hair - mine is about half way down my back.<br /><br />I know this review was lengthy, but I hope it is helpful in making a decision on your purchase.
