InStyler Straight UP Ceramic, Professional, Heated Styling Brush| Digital Temperature Display| 65 Individual Ceramic Heating Pla

Highly recommend.I got a shorter haircut (from waist-length to shoulder-blade length) and blow drying was not producing the results I wanted - I wanted straighter ends. But I also did NOT wanted to flat iron. That is when I decided to try this device.The results are a cross between blow-drying and using a flat iron. I get straight ends and have also through trial and error figured out how to get volume at the roots, and a gentle flick in my bangs.More body than with flat ironing. The result looks more natural than 'styled'. Which I like for everyday wear.Styling time is half as much as with styling by blow-drying. I blast dry first with a hairdryer and then straighten with this device. I use a good heat protectant before I start drying. I have color-treated, medium-coarse, and wavy-curly hair. I generally use 330 - 390 degrees. The unit goes up to 450.It does not snag my hair. And the cool touch bristles are so convenient, so you can get closer to the roots.Heat-protective gloves will be a good investment because the hair gets quite hot during the process. So to get good straightening it will be useful to hold the hair taut while running the unit through. When the hair gets hot I drop it after the first two passes and just comb it as I do with a hairbrush. This works for me because I like the less-ironed look. But if you want more straightening and also more hair than me, then gloves would be good.I have read that the black-colored unit has a smooth finish, and thus slips. But the white-colored unit has a matt finish and is thus stable in my hands.I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I have a generic name brand of a straightening brush and I must say this InStyler brand is so much better! My hair is thin, wavy, frizzy and medium length. With the generic brand straightening brush, it would burn my hair even at the lowest heat setting and it would pull my hair. With the InStyler brush, I set it at the lowest setting of 330 degrees and it did not smell like my hair was burning. The adjustable settings is great and this brush will work for people with different kinds of hair texture/thickness. I was able to brush through my hair without pulling it and achieve straighter hair. The cool ends to the brush are a great idea because not once did I burn myself. With this straightening brush, you can achieve fast and gorgeous results! It's very easy to use once you get the hang of it and I was able to straighten my hair a lot quicker with the brush as compared to my flat iron AND have better results! Overall this is an awesome straightening brush that is quick and easy to use, and gives you soft straight great looking hair. I have been using this brush 3-4 days a week and will continue to use it as so. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to cut their flat iron time in half or who are in a hurry (it heats up fast!) and need great looking hair!

It does work and get the job done, for those skeptical, please see the before/after pictures (I think the picture makes it look better than it is in real life). I have long, thick, curly hair, and I have been eyeing these hair straightening brushes for a while now as a possible quicker alternative to my flat iron. This product did indeed straighten my hair quicker than my flat iron. I will admit it’s not quite what I was expecting, my hair is definitely not as sleek as when I’ve straightened with a flat iron, and it’s more frizzy too, and the ends didn’t straighten completely, they’re still a little curly. (I used barely any hair product, so that may be a solution for future use, and I’m sure my hair could use a trim to rid the dead ends) With that being said, this was my first time using the product, and even with having to figure out the right way to hold the brush and figuring out a kind of technique, it only took me a half hour (this included taking the pictures and checking out how well it worked), where normally with a flat iron it would take me around an hour and a half just to do the straightening.I think my future use of this product will be to do the brunt work of straightening, and then I’ll finish up using my flat iron. If you’re not set on that pin straight look or your hair isn’t as curly, this product will probably work well for you. When shopping around, I liked that there were multiple heat settings, but I ended up using the highest, 450, and don’t see myself using any of the lower settings. I did find myself accidently pressing buttons as I was using this and even though I brushed my hair out prior to straightening; my hair still got caught on the brush frequently.Cons: Hair won’t be pin straight, leaves hair somewhat frizzy (hair products might help with this), not as sleek or shiny as flat iron, hair can get caught/pulled out, hair should be dry and brushed to use, buttons accidentally pressed during usePros: multiple heat settings, digital display, quick heat up, auto shut off, quick hair straightening, safer (less likely to get burned), easier to maneuver for hard to reach hair, overall it does work and get the job doneEdit: added a picture of my hair after going over it with the flat iron to show the difference, still agree this product can do the brunt of the work in less time and then finish it up with the flat iron to get the sleek shiny look I want.
