piece of junk [SEP] at the risk of sounding like a petulant child i would like to say i literally hate this thinghow are people giving this good reviewsso i have never used a straightening brush before i thought i would dip my toes in with a budget friendly option i am sad i wasted even a cent on this item when i use a flat iron it smooths my hair makes it sleek tames the frizz this straightening brush did none of those things my thick and coarse hair looked like moderately straighter thick and coarse hair straight up pun intended it did not even make my hair all that straighti took my time and worked in sections and layers i went over each section repeatedly when all was said and done i spent as much time as i do with a flat iron and still just had to get out my flat iron to make it right i feel like it needs to get a decent grip on the hair so to speak in order to do anything but the hair just slips right through it for the most partif anyone knows a straightening brush that actually works please point me in the right direction i would love something that helps cut down my styling time ya know the whole reason i thought to try one in the first place
