Could be better quality, but it works.
Let me preface this review by saying that I am an African American and I have fine, but coarse hair. I will update this review with before/after pictures later. I don't have the patience for straightening my hair with a flat iron all of the time and I'm not particularly good with one, in the first place. This brush straightener serves a good purpose for me where I am able to straighten my hair in a shorter period time. It usually takes an hour for me to flat iron my hair by myself, but with the brush, I can get it straighter in 20-25 minutes. In previous reviews, people mentioned that the on/off button is inconveniently located where your thumb rests to straighten your hair, but as long as I don't grip it too hard, I don't run into the problem of turning it off mid-process.<br /><br />Now to the cons:<br /><br />The brush gets hot, but the design of the brush only allows my hair to be as straight as a perfect blow drying job (not silky straight). After a couple days, my natural kinks return. This is probably where I should mention that this product would be more effective on permed hair.<br /><br />The quality of this product needs some improvement. As someone mentioned in a previous review, the brush tips do bend and over time, they will probably fall off. Also, as a safety concern and pure annoyance, the plug fits loosely into the socket and will easily come unplugged if you move too far away (the cord is also short). This is truly annoying, as I have to constantly plug it back in and reset the temperature.<br /><br />Because it is a brush design, hair will get trapped and clearing that out is a pain, something that you wouldn't have to experience with a flat iron.<br /><br />FINAL VERDICT: This product is great for non-coarse hair and if you want to straighten your hair quickly, but if you are a pro with a flat iron or have natural, coarse hair, I would steer clear for now.
