Affordable shortcut for busy mom to get out of the messy bun
I recently discovered these hair straightening brushes existed and had to give it a try as my daughter and I both have wavy crazy hair. The only way to tame it is with a flat iron and it takes forever and I can never quite get the kinks right at the back of my head out, so there is always some bumps, it's very stubborn. Delivery: product came with in a day or 2 with mason prime free shipping, the packaging was nice. Product: the instructions weren't really anything more than a bunch of warnings. I wasn't exactly sure how to change the temperature up but figured it out through experimenting with it. The lowest setting of 320 was not enough to do much with my hair so I turned it all the way up to the highest setting and it began working much better, however the nice thing about this versus my chi flat iron is that my hair was never burning hot after lasso through it. There have been many times when I'm straightening my hair with a flat iron that my hair so hot it hurts to touch it. I wasn't sure what th glove was for in the box, maybe for that exact purpose so you don't burn your hand when touching your hair, but it was never that hot. I took before and after pictures of my hair. I had styled my hair wavy the day before, then had it up in a messy bun and when I took it out it was crazy and knarly. You can see the brush did a great job getting it straight and smoothed out..I was even a led to get ride of those stubborn bumps in the back that are hard to flat iron because they go right up to my scalp. I didn't feel like my arm got tired from styling my hair like it does when I flat iron. I also like the swivel on the cord the makes the cord and brush easy to manage. Cons: occasionally I would notice the heat was off. It is easy to press the button while brushing your hair and accidentally change the setting or turn it off. While this got my hair really straight and smooth, I would probably want to do a quick pass with my flat iron afterwards just because the ends of my hair didn't get quite as sleek as they do when using the flat iron, but it wasn't necessary either and it was nice knowing my hair wasn't burning so hot the whole time of being straightened like it was steaming hot when I flat iron it. Overall, I'm excited about this product and it is a lot cheaper than a flat iron. (Well a chi like I have at least) and it is nice for quickly fixing up and smoothing out some crazy hair like mine.normally if my hair is like it is in the before picture, I have to start fresh with wash, dry and then flatten...so it was nice to be able to skip that whole process! I hate blow drying and ironing my hair at the same time my hair feels so dry after. I did also spray a heat protectant in my hair before using and brushed out my hair with some Argan oil before using this product. I wouldn't use this to brush and straighten at the same time...brush out any tangles before with your regular brush. Overall I am impressed with this product and especially for the price. I'm a homeschool mom of three young ones and I never do my hair because it's so much work and most days I'm not waking up worried about making my hair presentable, but I would like to have my hair look better more often if it didn't require an hour in the bathroom on just my hair and this is great short cut to being able to take my hair out of the ponytail and not have to do the entire wash, dry, flat iron process from scratch.
