Revlon Hair Straightening and Styling Brush | Great for Second Day Styling (4-1/2 in)

This brush is a nice alternative to the clamp styler straightener. The advantages are: it’s harder to burn yourself, it’s somewhat less damaging to hair, it’s easily adjustable and SHOWS the digital temperature setting on a digital display screen, the comb is built-in, and it’s 100-240 volts so all you need is a small adapter plug and it works anywhere in the world. It does seem a bit hotter in 100-120v countries than in 200-240v places. This product is advertised as good for short hair, too, but probably won’t work on hair that is less than 4 or 5 inches long. In my experience, the straightening effect doesn’t last as long as a traditional hair straightener, but either way it’s not a big deal since the effect is gone after washing for both tools. It seems a lot of reviewers don’t understand this point (ask your stylist if you want to confirm): NO hair straighter or heat brush is permanent, or even semi-permanent! If you want a more permanent solution, your ONLY choice is to get chemically-assisted hair straightening in a salon. That will last for months, but also damages your hair somewhat like bleaching does. So it’s certainly not for everyone. Anyway, I still recommend this as a daily hair straightener, but make sure you apply a heat protectant product to your hair first AND that your hair is completely dry before using it. Start with a lower temperature first and then go up in increments (it goes in increments of 20 degrees) until you get the temperature you need. And don’t worry about a slight buzzing sound - that’s the ionizer pumping out positive ions to help reduce/prevent frizz. If this product stops working, I will edit this and drop the review score, but for now it’s been working fine for months. Make sure not to get this product wet!

I am very satisfied with this brush. I had low expectations before as I have volume hair naturally. I wanted to reduce the volume and it definitely works. It gets about 5-10 minutes to achieve it. You can preset the desired temperature depending on what works best for your care. The brush is warming up in about 30 sec to the desired temperature. You can rotate it easily without rotating the cable which is very convenient. The only thing I can complain is the operational button located on the brush hand where you usually keep it. So, it can be pressed and switched off unintentionally. So you need to be aware of it and check you didn't press it from time to time during usage. Besides that it works good and seems as good value for money

Including pics of before and after. This just arrived today and I was able to literally sit on my couch and section and straighten my hair. It is easy to get my roots and not burny my scalp or hands since it has non-heated thick plastic bristles blocking your hands and scall from the little heated plates. For it to straighten you need to hold the ends of your hair and pull it taut for the brush to really get into the hair. It didn't do as well on the ends as an iron since it can't grip ends as well. My hair is also not as silky as with my babyliss flat iron, but for the price and ease of use and quick speed this brush is definitely worth having. I know I'm tired of standing in my bathroom mirror ironing small sections of hair. I don't think this woukd be great for shaping bangs etc so I will still use my iron for that. Keep in mind this is for styling dry hair. It does have vents on the back to vent steam from products etc. So keep your hands away from the back of the brush. I docked a star because this does not do a great job on ends.

I don't know what took me so long to get this brush dryer but I'm glad I finally did! This brush is amazing and it takes a lot of work out of you having to blow dry and comb your hair. I have 4A thick hair and this brush was able to get my hair soft and straight in half the time it would take me to blow dry and comb. I will say it did pull my hair a little towards the ends of my hair shaft but it wasn't to bad. It definitely is a great buy and I'll recommend it to all my natural friends!

Talk about the "styling tool I didn't know I needed but now I have it how did I manage without it?". For years I've been letting my very thick, coarse hair air dry for convenience - I'm currently sporting a sleeker, straighter bob, but didn't want to go back to blow-drying to style it, as it takes way too much time. Had never even heard of heated brushes until recently, and after a bit of research decided to go with this Revlon - the brush shape/size is good for me (didn't really want a paddle brush) and I didn't want to spend a bunch on something I wasn't sure I'd use much. Tried it for the first tie and cannot believe how well it works to style and shine my straight-ish hair. No idea how it would handle serious curls/waves, but to style mine and give it a refresh between washes this thing is AMAZING. The firm plastic bristles are ideal for my thick hair, the adjustable heat is great (and it gets HOT - I actually had to turn it down), and while it is of course heavier than a regular brush, it's not weighty and is balanced well. The only thing I could wish is that it came as a half-round (or even round) for increased volume, but I can work around that by turning the brush as I use it to bend the ends under into a sleek bob. Bottom line: exactly as described, affordable, and works brilliantly for me!

This product worked well in straightening out my 4C hair. It has temperature control up to 430 degrees and the hotter temperatures does not impact the handles. I love this product which to me is better than using a straightening comb. CON: How do you clean it? No mentioned of cleaning in the pamphlet nor anywhere on a website. I hope my method of cleaning the product doesn't jeopardize the integrity.

Me encanta este cepillo/plancha. Recuerda tener el cabello bastante seco para evitar el maltrato, como toda herramienta de calor. El cabello queda suave, sedoso y con brillo. Lo prefiero muchísimo sobre la plancha de cerámica. Al menos para mí que no soy diestra arreglándome el cabello ha sido un ÉXITO.

Was a mistake, bought after reading reviews and with much hope, but it was a waste of my money, missed return deadline with hectic days and I wasted my money :-(
