Product review (3 stars): Best for longer hair ... but be careful as it gets hot!
I liked this brush, especially the rotation of it (once I got used to it) but the downside is that it doesn't "grab" your hair like a hairbrush does, so it's hard to get a "grip" without needing to use your hands to get it attached to your hair. And then you run into the issue of the tool getting too hot to touch (mainly towards the end of it) and you can actually burn yourself if not careful. I have shoulder length hair that's cut in a long shag style, so this diameter is the perfect size (at 1 1/2 inches). It wouldn't work very well at all with shorter lengths, unless you just want to smooth out the texture but not put waves into it. It blows air stronger than the John Frieda brush, but doesn't "grip" the hair quite as well. Both of these are practically identical, when it comes to size and how it feels to hold. Having the rotation with this one is a plus, BUT the downside is that the bristles don't "grip" your hair like a hairbrush, making it difficult to "get a grip" on your hair. Good luck!
