Give this time...
Just like any new/different appliance, you will need to give yourself time to learn how to use this; once you learn the techniques you'll love it! I was pretty disappointed the first time I used it, but discovered the best way to use it (for me, at least). Most important? FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS and wait until your hair is mostly (80%) dry - seriously. This thing is not very powerful; if your hair is mostly wet you'll be wasting your time. After towel-drying, comb through then do whatever else you need to do - drink your coffee, check your email, apply your makeup, etc. Don't leave your hair wrapped up in the towel, it will take longer to air dry. When you're ready, put your index fingers at the top of your ears and slide them straight back, horizontally under your hair to the back of your head until your fingers meet; put all of the hair above your fingers into a clip at the top of your head. Focus only on the hair that's left hanging. Grab a section of it, turn the brush on to "high" and glide slowly through your hair (either above or below your hair, depending on the look you want) from roots to about an inch or two from the ends (don't brush through the ends!). While the hair is still in the brush, hold that hank of hair with your other hand and repeat this step until that length of hair is COMPLETELY dry, maybe 3-4 slow passes. On the final pass-through, continue all the day through the ends, curling the brush very slowly. Continue these steps on all of the hair that's hanging down. When it is completely dry, remove the clip, put your index fingers at your eyebrows, slide to the back of your head and clip up that hair. Then follow the same steps as above to dry the hair that's now hanging down. Once you have done this to your entire head, keep running the brush through your hair (I've always left it on "high", so I don't know if "low" or "cool" will work differently) until it is COMPLETELY dry - that is very important. As you work your way up your head, it will feel like each section of hair is dry, but when you think you're all done, run your fingers through your hair - odds are it will still be very slightly damp under the thickest parts. Just keep brushing as if you were using a regular brush. If your hair is not completely dry, it will get frizzy. When I'm done, I put 2 small squirts of Frizz Ease Hair Syrum in my palms, rub them together, then run my hands down the entire length of my hair, crown to tips, focusing mostly on the ends and the areas where my layers stop. I spend about 5 more minutes using this dryer as opposed to my old hairdryer. After having kids, my normally stick-straight hair became wavy and frizzy; the only way to control it was to blowdry and use a curling iron. I don't have to use a curling iron after I'm done using this brush (I probably still would for special occasions though), and I've cut the time I spend on my hair every morning in half. Some reviewers had problems, saying the brush quit working not long after purchase. There is a 3-year warranty on it, so I did make sure I saved my receipt. The only "con" I've found is that it's really easy to accidentally slide the switch from "high" to "cool" as you're working, and if you're not paying close attention you might not notice it right away. The switch needs to be a little tighter so that this doesn't happen so often. Oh, and the coupon for Frizz-Ease Shampoo and Conditioner that was included in the box was already expired :( Other than that, I absolutely LOVE this brush.
