Review (1/5): My hair is chin-length and fine, not thick
I have been using these for years, but the last order - 2 of them, purchased less than 6 months ago - was so disappointing. The first one just fell apart, a screw or something that holds the blue plastic end in place came loose so the end wouldn't tighten, bristles [combs?] would fall out. I gave up and threw it away. The second one, which I have been using for about 3 weeks, has been limping along for a couple of weeks. There's a short or something to the heating element. The light will be on, but the barrel doesn't get hot. If I jiggle the cord, it will heat up, but then it goes cold again. Then it will work for a few days and I'll get optimistic, but no - then it's cold again. P.S. My hair is chin-length and fine, not thick, so I'm not "working them to death" and I always unplug them when I'm finished [not just turning them off].
