Good idea, bad product for me.
So, this item isn't all that great. On the one hand, it seems to straighten fine - I've got really bushy hair, and it's capable of tackling that reasonably well. As a bonus, I can do it without the constant fear of setting fire to my forehead and the tips of my ears. Awesome.<br /><br />On the other hand, those little colored balls tend to break off a lot. 7 weeks since purchase, and I'm missing four of them; they seem to be weakest around the middle of the brush, perhaps because of the heat? Seems like other people have better luck, but it was a miss for me; I really wanted to like this one, too. Maybe I'll try a different brand.<br /><br />***UPDATE: After I left this review, Apalus contacted me and offered to send a replacement for the defective one. It arrived quickly and was no charge to me, which is excellent customer service and I really appreciate their efforts. Still, though, my hair proves to be too tough for this brush - same thing happened again after about the same number of uses. But it was a nice try; gotta love a company that stands behind their product, no matter the outcome.
