brush does what it s supposed to do [SEP] i was hesitant to get this brush but took a chance since many of the reviews were positive it s sturdy has a long chord it heats up pretty fast not too crazy with the buttons they tend to be too sensitive to the touch at times by mistake i turn it off as i am combing my hair at first the plastic coating rubber on the brush smells a bit and i did smell it on my hair i have left it out of the box to air out and it gets better i love how it straightens my hair and i m able to keep my hair straighter for up to two days without washing it does tend to pull your hair off in the process so i would take it easy overall so far i m happy with it
