Does not replace my traditional Straightener.
It is just okay. I will say that for anyone with really curly hair, this is probably not going to be your favorite straightening tool.  I have long,curly, fine hair  and this brush seemed to make it more frizzy than I could handle.  It does get super hot and comes to temperature very quickly.  It is make very sturdy and heavy duty.  I like that the temperature displays right on the top so you can easily see what temperature it it.  I did not like the placement of the temperature controls, it felt like I was constantly bumping them while I was using the brush.<br /><br />I first tried this after wearing my hair in a messy bun overnight,  I took small pieces of hair and had to go over it several time before it took the waves out.  It then left me with a lot of frizz.  As anyone with curly hair can say, you DO NOT brush curly hair.  I guess I should not have had such high hopes for this product just because I know that my hair does not do well with brushing.<br /><br />The second time I tried it after towel drying my hair straight out of the shower.  It was nice in that it did not burn my scalp, like my traditional straightener will if I use it on wet hair.  However It seemed to give me about the same results if not a little more frizzy.<br /><br />I think if you have shorter hair or almost straight hair that you just need a little extra to get it completely straight, and your hair likes to be brushed, then this would work well for you.  If you have curly hair, I would say this will work well for getting the initial curl out of your hair, and maybe taking out the blow drying step before using a traditional straightener to get the glossy smooth finished look.<br /><br />I received this product with a promotional discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
