Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the third brand of heated ceramic hairbrushes that I have purchase and the fourth that I have tried on my hair (the fourth one belongs to my sister). I have really thick and wavy hair. One strand of my hair is the equivalent of two stands of everyone else's hair (since I have yet to meet someone with hair thicker than mine). My hair takes 1.5 hours to blow dry or about 1 hour to straighten with a flat iron if I want to wear it straight. I began buying these types of brushes in hopes that I could find one that left my hair straight in half that time. So far, none have left my hair as nicely straight as a flat iron straightner but the InStyler hair brush is by far the best one I've tried so far. With the InStyler, I was able to get my hair done in 16.35 minutes (yes I timed it!) using larger chunks of hair to brush through. Usually, for my hair to look like this with the other heated brushes, I have to brush in small segments (like I do with a flat iron) which takes longer and defeats the purpose. The thing to remember with these brushes is that you have to brush your hair in sections and (if you have think curly hair) you have to brush each section at least twice. Every brand that I have tried so far, works this way. I can't just run it through my hair like a regular brush because it will only straighten the top part. Compared to the other brands I have tried, I like this one the best because it heats up quickly and the temp remains consistent. With the other brands I have tried, the temperature drops and I have to constantly pause to adjust it. Also, the tips of the bristles are so much more sturdy on the InStyler than the other brushes. I actually feel comfortable running it through my hair thick hair without breaking off the tips. The heat setting goes straight to 450 degrees, but it flashes a few times to give you enough time to lower it if you need it. The one thing I wish it had was a temperature lock so that I don't have to worry about accidentally pressing a button. None of my other brushes have this feature either but the positioning of the buttons in the InStyler makes it more difficult for me to accidentally press the buttons anyway. As someone who has tried several other of these brushes I highly recommend the instyler. My other two straightener brushes are: GD Brush Hair Straightener Possiave Blue Hair Straightener Brush
