Product review (5 stars): Works well and cuts down on blow drying time
I was eyeing this for a long time  - given the price I was hesitant to buy as I wasn't sure if the bristles or size of the brush would work on my (past the shoulder) length, fairly thick hair. I suddenly found it on Amazon at a very reasonable price so bought it. I quickly got used to it, although even now a few stray strands get caught up in the spin. It has cut down on my blow drying time significantly. Yes you have to have almost dry hair. It is much easier to use than the hand brush/blow dryer method - my arms used to get tired. It helps to tame my curls in humid conditions and a quick spin through before going out in the evening gives me that "just washed" look without washing. I would definitely recommend. I bought this in October 2015 and it is still going strong.
