Completely worth EVERY single penny!!
****UPDATE**** 3/10/17, it is just a few days shy of the 12 month mark that I have used this brush and I STILL love it. I had an issue about the 11 month mark and I thought it might be a lost cause since I had it for so long, but 11th City the seller got back with me right away and remedied the issue very quickly. For their WONDERFUL customer service alone, I could and would recommend this brush to anyone, AND on top of that fact it does work awesome!!
With that being said, after almost a year, I have some pointers/advice:
- When using it on "day old" hair, make sure you
comb it out really well and try not to use it if you have a lot of hairspray buildup! It gets all gunky and it's not the easiest thing to keep clean between the teeth of the combs.
- A few months after I got it, I cut my hair from below my shoulders to right above my shoulders. I can say that while it did ok on my shorter hair, and worked waayyy better on my longer hair. It is easier to use and I have better results when my hair is longer.
-This is still the ONLY styling tool I bring with me when I travel. For me personally it just works on whatever state my hair happens to be in. No longer do I travel with a big bulky blow dryer, a straightener, and/or hot air brush. I can go to bed with my hair wet and style my hair with this in the morning and it truly look is good! Surprising I know, but does make for easier traveling! I am a little OCD and everything has to be put away when I am done with it, but this stays out on my counter 24/7!
- Try to be more diligent than I was and clean between the teeth of the combs every couple of weeks if you can. It will make it a lot easier to maintain in the long run!
Have fun with it, try different styles, be like me and finally "let your hair down" instead of wearing of that curly mop in a pony tail all of the time. LOL
Still love my brush one year later and would never want to be without it!

This is a long review, but has good information from a VERIFIED purchase! I am not one of those lucky people who got this straightening brush for free or at a discounted rate, I paid for this 100% with my own hard earned money, and let me tell you – it was money WELL spent! I have fine curly hair that frizzes easily and not all of my curls are the same – some are wavy and some are downright kinky (weird combo). Anyway, I usually choose to wear my hair curly because it takes so much time to flat iron it and to make it look nice without any crimps in it, and when I do take the time to do it I’m not always 100% satisfied with it.
I have been on the search high and low for a better alternative to a traditional flat iron and THIS is the ticket for
sure, it is the answer to my prayers by a long shot. I used to try and clumsily use the “chaser” method of following the flat iron after a comb to get my hair neat and I can’t tell you the times I’ve burned myself or even melted the comb. I even tried one of those straightening brushes that are all the rage right now, and while it did straighten my hair exceptionally well – that brush left the ends of my hair raggedy looking and ripped handfuls of my hair out while using it. I only lose a couple of strands of hair using this brush/comb from doing my whole head, and it’s less than what I experience with my CHI iron.
This brush/comb glides through my hair very easily once I have brushed it out prior to using it. I am able to hold it in one hand and use the other hand to guide it and I don’t get burned! I can actually touch it and not get scalded. I use the brush/comb underneath my hair and then hold the end to gently curve it under because I don’t like pin straight ends. I don’t know if it will make pin straight ends because I don’t use it that way, but it works fabulously on my hair and the way that I like for my hair to look when I’m done styling it.
I have used this styling brush after freshly washing and drying my hair, I have used it on hair that I slept on wet and woke up to it going 90 different directions, I have used it on “day old” hair where I just brushed out my curly hair from the day before, ANY way I have tried to use this brush has worked wonderfully and my hair has looked great. The best part is it only takes about 5-7 minutes of styling to get out the door with pretty good looking hair and about 10-12 minutes to get out the door with fantastic looking hair. Either way – I am very pleased with the results.
I don’t want to see the price of this brush/comb going up, because it is fantastically priced for how well quality made it is and for how well it works – but I would have paid much more for this just because I have been able to experience the quality and the results I have gotten from it. I can say hands down, this is by far the single best hair tool, hair tonic, hair potion, product, etc that I have ever purchased. I hope you love it as much as I do!!
