Review (1/5): Bristles start breaking off within a month of usage.
Edited 5/13/2016:
I've used this product for years and it worked great with longer bristles. It always had a tendency for the bristles to get brittle due to the heat of the curling iron,, and then the bristles break off very easily. The last two I purchased, the bristles starting breaking off within a month of usage. It used to take several months of use for this to happen. The plastic you are using on the bristles is defective. Please remedy this.
They recently shortened the bristles and it makes it easy to burn your hand because of this. Please make the bristles longer. Also, they bristles become weak due to heat and start to break. Please make the bristles out of better material.
To Helen of Troy: If you could make it get hotter, and make it heat up quickly, and make the bristles longer like they were before, and make the bristles last longer before getting brittle and breaking off , I would give it 5 stars.
