use with a blow dryer for best effect [SEP] i read the other reviews before ordering and was not expecting a brush that spinned i have the heated spinning brush and i do not use because i have fine straight hair and it get tangled and knotted in the brush this brush is what i was looking for a heated round brush this gives heat to the base but it is not too hot to burn or overly dry out your hair i also use a blowdryer for the top and it gives my hair some volume and lifti received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review as a frequent amazon shopper i rely on honest feedback to make my purchasing decisions i assure you that i m writing my review after i have used the product i did not receive any monetary compensation and i am not required to leave a positive review
