Product review (4 stars): This brush is amazing for straightening and smoothing
This is my second time buying this brush.  I am 52 years old and have very thick midlength hair. This brush is amazing for straightening and smoothing.  My only complaint is that you cannot open the brush to clean the hair out.  I've burned out the motor after 7 months of daily use.  I will buy another brush, but it would have been nice if it had lasted longer.  Also, I did not have any issues with it damaging my hair.  I do use a heat spray and deep condition at least once a week.
