Review (4/5): Still Second Place to My Flat iron
I have very thick curly hair and normally use a Babyliss 1 3/4" flat iron that heats up to 450 degrees- same as this product.
This brush works well but is really no quicker than the flat iron for me. I have very thick hair and normally use a Babyliss 1 3/4 " flat iron that heats up 450 degrees as this brush does.
Also, there is a bit of a learning curve to use this effectively- my tip would be to use a Denman Thermoceramic Straightening Brush to hold on to your hair at the bottom while straightening top to bottom with this electric brush. This gives you a bit more pull and allows the brush to work more effectively.
I think the quality of the brush is very good- someone else called it junky but I disagree- it is a high end brush. The temperature control button is poorly placed as you will hit it constantly while using the brush. I thought I was accidentally lowering the temp because of this but in reality this doesn't happen. Overall- for those with very thick hair, it does work well and straightens to pin straight but there is no time savings. It is great for touch ups. Those with thinner hair may find it quicker.
