i picked this brush up over the christmas break and it was marked clearance for 7 and change after tax so that may be why some of you ladies are having trouble finding it. the first time i used it my hair would not straighten but thats because i had been using water and glycerin to moisturize that week so i washed air dried, then tried again results are posted in the thread below. overall i give it a 7 out of 10 because i did experience some snagging on tiny stretched sections so i would pass with a comb before passing with this brush. ive gotten better results using my regular brush so i wouldnt consider this a must have unless you have a hard time holding both the brush and flat iron at the same time.

mine came in the mail a week ago and my flat iron was shipped a few days ago so hopefully i will have something to show as far as results in the next week.

@solena, since you airdried instead of blew it out using the brush, i feel like it probably was less effective. i thought that was part of the efficiency of the design though. blow out tool + straightening enhancer, in that order.

Possibly but I'm used to air drying and flat ironing with a regular brush and my hair gets bone straight with two passes at the most. With this I had to pass with the comb then slowly pass two to three times with this brush.I'll continue to use it trying different techniques and products before I toss it aside.

I've tried brushes like the video suggested in the past and it wasn't a good idea for my natural 4a/4b hair. @_@ Even after stretching my hair by blow drying first.

I actually just bought a chasing comb which I used to do a length check today and had pretty great results. Normally I don't use heat, but I stretched while blowdrying my hair in sections and then was able to easily (more or less as for some reason my crown ALWAYS has invisible tangles in it that aren't there in the rest of my head) flatiron with the chasing comb.

When I do use brushes, I usually use the paddle brushes that have a lot of space between the bristles. I have one from Conair and a couple from John Freida that work wonders for me. When I use brushes with boar bristles, it actually ends up snagging more hair.

The one I got is softer than boar bristles so hopefully that won't be an issue. Its sort of directly between the texture of a soft brush and a hard brush.

its the silkiest press i've ever gotten technically. it made my blow out so much better that i really didn't need to use it for pressing too. but if ur ends are split, the brush will snag a bit. 

i did use new pressing products as well a brand new flat iron too. but i will definitely attribute most of my success to the blow out using this tool. ur hair can't be too wet though or u will have to make several passes to blow it straight. i guess my hair isn't as porous as i thought. had to wait for it to get about 60% dry before i would get it dry in one pass.

Thanks. You basically clamp it over a section of hair at the base and use the blow dryer to press against the vents/slats in the brush while you pull the brush towards your ends slowly. looks as though she's made her video private.


It just depends on your texture I guess. I used it to blow out. It definitely helped in me not having to get as close to my roots with the flat iron when i flat ironed after i blew out. It looks like my hair is straight growing out of my head which has never happened before. i always had waves at my roots.

My hair is pretty fine so once i blew it out using the clamp brush so i found i didnt need to use it to press. i touched up using it for my raggity ends some but other than that, if ur hair isn't super thick or super coarse im sure one or the other instead of both, using it to press AND blow out, would work.
