This style is better than others I have tested.
I received this Ionic Hair Straightener brush for free to test and evaluate.<br /><br />This is very much like the others that I have tried. There are buttons that adjust the temp, turn it on and toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit. This brush says that it has &#34;ionic&#34; strength. I cannot verify this.<br /><br />There are a few differences between this brush and the others I have tested in recent months. This one has the buttons on the back of the handle instead of on the side. One button turns on the ionic function, one button is the temp/on off control. This brush heats up very hot, up to 450 degrees, hot enough to sizzle your hair if you are not careful! The one thing I love about this brush vs the other brushes I have tried is that it does not have the odd little red balls on the ends of the brush tips. This brush has flat and smooth brush &#34;bristles&#34;. (No give to them, they are rigid.) They snagged my hair much less.<br /><br />I have frizzy hair and no matter what I try, ceramic, ionic, metal, etc.. My hair looks the same after each, so if there is some magic to the way &#34;ions&#34; work with my hair, I am not seeing it. I am not using a heat appliance to make my hair healthy.  If you notice a difference then this will please you because it has the technology to help your hair.<br /><br />How does it work? It functions much the same way as a flat iron except this glides through the hair instead of along it. It takes the same amount of time to use this as a flat iron, I didn't notice that it saved any time at all over a flat iron. It still must be used on perfectly dry hair. (That means heat protectant spray needs to dry before using this. Steaming your hair is probably not a great idea, but do as you feel is needed, I am letting my hair dry first.)<br /><br />It gets my hair smooth and sleek and is as easy to use as the flat iron. It is good for days where the humidity is going to bring out the frizz or when I want to go a day between washes but my hair has frizzed into a bozo look, even in a pony tail. This can tame the frizz in about half an hour if I am combing my hair flat, or in 4 minutes if I have my hair in a pony tail and am taming only that. This style of straightener brush snags less hair during use than the other models I have tested. That is a major bonus.<br /><br />I am not sure what is easier to use or which one I prefer. I have both the flat iron and this brush sitting there. I alternate between them because I don't have a favorite.
