" ... I blow dried my hair until it was mostly dry then used this brush. ... I had to do a few passes to get the damper pieces dry and curled but over all it worked great and I am so impressed! ... "
" ... What I like to do is either air dry my hair or dry it almost completely with a blow dryer. ... "
" ... I took the advice on the package and let my hair partially dry and even with product it straightened quickly and easily. ... "
" ... but this is so easy to use, so much better and more effective that a round brush and blow dryer(I've never mastered the blowout). ... It makes me not hate doing my hair and is sooo much easier than sleeping in damp hair and dealing with a mess of curls sticking every which way in the morning. ... "
" ... Works on wet or dry hair and my hair looks great. ... "
" ... I'm a moron whe it comes to hair styling, the best I could get was dried hair with this but my sister says it works great so . ... "
" ... I don’t really blow dry my hair because it’s so cumbersome but I find it way easy with this. ... The high heat setting is perfect, I have hair length a little past my shoulders and I don’t find that it’s hard to blow dry with this size brush. ... I wash my hair like normal, and brush it out, I’ll wait for it to air dry a little and I do my makeup in the meantime, and by the time I’m done with that my hair is just dry enough to use this tool. ... "
" ... Love this hair dryer. ... "

" ... I actually loved this blow dryer but I have very very long thick hair (it’s way past the middle of my butt) and I was hoping to get waves but it just dried it straight like my regular blow dryer. ... "
" ... I can let it air dry most of the way, then brush it with this and I'm good to go in a fraction of the time. ... I think I get better results than I do with brush and blow dryer. ... "
" ... This dryer has made my hair glamorous. ... "
" ... If I allow my hair to dry 50-70% first ... "
" ... I love the look of a blow out but my arms would kill me using a hair dryer and a round brush at the same time. ... "
" ... I’m not really one for drying my hair but this makes it so easy to style and and dry. ... "
" ... No frizz, lots of volume, super quick drying. ... "
" ... I love this dryer and I highly recommend. ... "

" ... My hair feels softer and healthier when using this. ... "
" ... Ever try to do a ponytail with only one hand? ... I wanted to give myself time to learn new skills prior to surgery and I fell in love with this tool the minute I turned it on . ... "
" ... This thing takes so excruciatingly long I nearly got carpal tunnel and my hair is so frizzy the Frizz Ease brand should hang their heads in shame. ... "
" ... Gives me extra volume and my hair is so soft 😊😊 highly recommended. ... "

" ... I’ve only used this product twice and the bristles are not holding up. ... My hair is curly but soft and the bristles are already bending and falling out. ... "
" ... Plastic, cheap feel. ... "
" ... I fear the extreme heat, not of the air but of the barrel, will damage my hair in its current fragile state. ... "
" ... Used once, many bristles broke off! ... "
" ... - The far end of the brush, the end you're not holding, doesn't have a knob, just a flat plate. ... And that flat plate gets awfully hot, so you can't really use it to support and steady your working arm. ... I've thought about gorilla-gluing a wooden spool to the end, but the heat would melt the glue. ... "
" ... Did not have good grip with bristles. ... "
" ... The filters are thin and very flimsy. ... That means I will have to buy a new brush when the flimsy filters wear out. ... "

" ... Tried the reset button and multiple outlets, just to be sure . ... "
" ... I took off a star for the button manoevering - If you want the 'setting' effect, you have to switch from hot to cold, and you kind of have to pay attention to make sure you do that and get it on the right setting. ... It would be GREAT to have a button to release the roller, but it doesn't have that that. ... "
" ... The positioning and style of the high/low/cool button makes it so you cannot turn it on or adjust the strength without two hands, and the button itself is a slider with the options SO close together you have to stop and look at it when adjusting to even see what level it is on. ... "
" ... No temperature control. ... "
" ... However as of late the quality control just isn't there. ... "
" ... Only issue I have is the cool button is on top and I usually use the high heat. ... "
" ... The button is a pain and won't slide with my thumb, so I have to stick my nail in it. ... "
" ... switching bet the different temp controls is awkward because while styling it’s hard to see the buttons. ... "
