Review (4/5): Use it right and it'll work great
I actually like this straightener brush. I had read mixed reviews on them because I've been wanting to try one so I've been researching different brands and reading reviews. This works really well but you have to work with it. You cant just brush it through your hair and expect great results. Thats not how it works. And that's not how any typical flat iron works so I dont agree with people thinking this should be any different. It has it's pros and cons but more pros than cons. I tried this on my straight yet frizzy hair. And I tried this on my daughters curly hair. I had good results with both.
Pros: It came quickly in the mail and was nicely packaged
It appears to be made with good quality
It heats up fast and the numbers on the screen climb up as it heats so you can tell what temp it's at while you wait
It doesnt burn you and all of the heating units are well covered for your protection
It glides nicely through your hair
It makes your hair soft
Works better on frizz than a flat iron
Easier to use than a flat iron
Helps maintain volume
Cons:
It's only in Celsius
If heated all the way to the highest temp it stinks
The cord is kinda short
At times it pulls your hair out
Now if you use it right it will work really well for you. What I did initially was comb it through the hair like a brush. I had combed my hair with a bore bristle brush before doing this. It kinda sets the hair up for you to section well. I sectioned the hair and held it straight up and put the straightening brush right up to the scalp and combed under and out creating an arch with it so that my hair would curl under. I was able to straighten more hair at once with this than a normal flat iron. All I did to finish my hair was to keep sectioning hair and using the same motion by going on the under side of the hair and arching out I created a really nice looking style. My hair had less frizz, was softer, had more volume and more bounce to it than when I've used a flat iron. So I guess I'll be using this from now on. My only concern was the smell that happened when turned all the way up but I've had other irons that smelled too. So I'm assuming it's the silicon or rubber caps to protect your head. You dont need it turned up all the way. I was able to create the style I wanted at the half way mark.
I'll keep using this and if I have any problems I will update this post.
