Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

(NOTE: UPDATED BELOW) LOVE this - found out about it on a Buzzfeed list of hair products for lazy people and boy are they right. It makes my hair look AMAZING - you know how your hair looks right after you've had it done? Like that. I NEVER have the patience to work the round brush with the dryer, just usually tip my head over and blow my hair around, then sort of brush it into place, then run a flat iron over it to smooth it out. This smooths/softens/curls/flounces/makes amazing. It takes a little more time/patience but completely worth it because it looks fantastic. Pro tip: shot of cold right at the end sets the style. I can go three days without washing my hair and my blow-out looks fresh. For this price it's a steal. AND I don't end up with loose hair stuck all over the bathroom walls (TMI, I know, but really - bonus). ************* So I used this for a few months - very lightly, as I only wash my hair twice a week. One morning it just stopped working, maybe 2-3 months after I bought it. Wiggled the cord, it came back on. Turned out that you had to now hold it a certain way or it wouldn't work. So I can't twist it anymore, therefore I can't make big bouncy curls anymore - so what good is it? It's just a hot air brush. So it was past the return date; I bought another one with a smaller brush circumference to get smaller, tighter curls that might last longer with my fine hair. Same thing: three months go by and the thing stops working if you turn it a certain way. And I amd NOT hard on this equipment - I was my hair twice a week, and sometimes just air dry if I'm not going out. Funny how it works until just past the return window.... Bummed!!!!! Now I have TWO hot hair brushes that I can't use to make curls. I guess I should just throw them away but I'm so mad at myself for falling for this twice.... If I'm *super* careful I can get it to work, but it takes forever and conks out every two minutes. Frustrating!!!!!
