The folks at Welove were kind enough to provide me with this hair straightener brush in exchange for sharing my unbiased review...
This is an excellent product for currently under $20. For reference, I'm from Afghanistan so I've got thick hair and loads of it. I wasn't expecting a brush that heats up to actually straighten my hair. I mention price because I wouldn't throw out my blow dryer or flat iron for this product, I would buy it for the convenience of use and time saving qualities.
As with any hot tool, it's recommended to coat your ends with a good heat protectant product or mix of essential oils to protect it from getting fried, faded, and breaking. You also want to be sure to keep the hot tool moving; brushing small sections at a time will give you the best results.
I was surprised how well this works and without the handle or back of the paddle getting too hot to touch. At the full 230°Celsius (or 446° Fahrenheit), the bristles do get hot after a while but not hot enough to burn my scalp. It heats up as quickly as my irons, in under two minutes.
This is much quicker for me than blow drying my hair straight or flat ironing. I will say two things though, first, this doesn't work as well as the other two right at the root (but it gets close) and second, it doesn't last as long...
When I blow dry with a round hot brush, my hair will stay straight for days. Because you're not clamping your hair between two hot surfaces (or around one), this doesn't last quite as well. What's nice though, is it just takes a quick hot brush at a lower temp, and my hair looks freshly done again.
I can get the same overall look as blow drying by flipping and brushing upside down and holding the brush at the angle I want it to curl for volume, etc. As said, it's not perfect for straightening right at the roots but it's not for use with wet hair anyway (if you use your blow dryer for that as is). Best used on dry hair.
It's a good size in terms of not taking up too much drawer space and being comfortable to hold. The cord is a good length. The box it arrives in is good for gift giving and I think someone with thick hair like myself would especially appreciate this as a gift.
The button placement causes me to constantly be accidentally pressing buttons while brushing through my hair. Fortunately, once it's heated up, it doesn't take long to brush through and you have to hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn it off (so not a huge deal for me).
I considered rating this 4 stars because of some of it's flaws but I think the good heavily outweighs the bad. This is a product I love and would definitely recommend to others. As an added heat tool (not to replace others that serve their purpose) and for under $20, I give this a whole hearted 5 stars.
I've been using mine for a month and hope it lasts for a very long time but will update this review if it doesn't. Uploading some photos so you can get a closer look and feel for it's size. Smile. Hope this is helpful!
