  • Hmm I am not that impressed with it, I find that it rips me hair out. Its also very awkward to use. I personally wouldnt bither, have yove seen them brushes that you can use that are like two brushes facing each other, you can buy them in boots? Was thinking of trying it out.

    Have not tried it but my hairdresser said that some of her clients had been disappointed with this product when I was interested in buying one.

    I imagine that its not good for your hair because your hair is at its weakest when wet.

    Yes I have some of them. They are good for long hair that needs kinks taking out, but I still had to run my hair straighteners through. Straightening was easier and quicker after using it. I suppose it depends on how straight you prefer your hair.

    The down side to the straightening brush is that its fiddly to use, I kept having to put the hairdryer down to find another section ifywim, so it took longer for me to style as opposed to rough drying.

    I have that brush, awful, does nothing.
  • Both my 14 year-old daughter and my 40 year-old friend have the babyliss straightener dryer and really love it. My daughter has thick wavy hair and it almost completely straightens it, she sometimes has to use with straighteners though but only a quick finish off. HTH
