Review (4/5): it worked excellent at the highest temperature setting
A few months back a friend of mine styled my hair with a product similar to this which cost three times the cost. I was thrilled with the results, and wanted one for myself, but just couldn't see spending so much money on something that I'd rarely use. Imagine my surprise when I found this one online for a fraction of the price!
So does it work is probably all that you're concerned about. In one word: YES! I actually put this to the test of "only 8 seconds" to style! I put it at only 200% during my test, which is almost half of the reccomend end temperature for my hair type. I did this to give the product a true test. Sure, it worked excellent at the highest temperature setting, but what snoot those who don't want too much heat damage? Well, I'm happy to report that even at half the heat, and at only 8 seconds, this product worked beautifully! Wow! I simply did slow strokes through each section of my hair and the outcome was beautiful!
Now, with the test at full temperature and longer than 8 seconds, well that came out just as great as a flat iron. I found that this unit glided freely through my hair with minimal pulling. I passed the brush through each section slowly 2-3 times each. In the end my hair was shiny, smooth, and full of life!
The bristle portion is far safer than a traditional flat iron as well. The cord is extremely thick, and the unit has a nice weight to it. The temperature is easily adjusted by pressing the buttons next to the led display.
In conclusion: for a girl with extremely long straight hair, this unit performed beautifully. Sure, it takes a bit more work than a straight iron since heat is only being applied from one side as opposed to two. However, my hair was able to keep its bounce because of it! My hair is always so stiff after a use with an iron, not so with this brush. I highly approve. Sample provided for evaluation.
