why did not i get this sooner [SEP] oh my gawwwd this thing is amazing this will be a lengthy review but if you are like me i hope you will enjoy the very detailed essay i am about to write for the time because my original review closed out of the page sparkling heart the brush does get hot but not too hot i accidentally touched the metal part a few times and i still have all my fingers yeehaw there is a little knob that sticks out to grasp onto as you roll the brush through your hair you could probably use a straightening glove too i have never used a revlon brush nor touched one irl so take that for what it is but i have watched a lot of videos on youtube with that specific brush i believe the revlon is heavier and hotter than this brush i have heard of some gals smelling burning i did not experience that i did use a heat protectant up to along with a leave in cream by the way there is an air i assume cool setting which is amazing as it is actually regar air not semi warm air like some dryers i have used in the past the low setting is low and the high is faster and hotter they light up so you know what is what love itplease do not expect this to smooth it out like a flat iron would this provides the perfect base though to smooth with a flat iron quickly it took me from start to finish about mins some of that time was spent sectioning and spraying the hair with protectant as well as doing some house stuff realistically it maybe took mins i did wait after my wash and condition to let the hair dry a little bit to about i even spritzed dry sections with water as needed so my brush could glide through i have only used this once on wet hair and once for a touch up i am hoping to be as good as julissa guillen on youtube as i use this more dbesides the boar bristle suggestion i did notice the words on the dryer are already faded it does not affect the dryer so i really do not care lol the other thing was the twisty thing to turn the dryer on does not line up directly with the lights and words off air low high again i do not care but everyone different so i wanted to let you beautiful awesome people knowoverall i am so impressed and so upset at myself for not getting one of these sooner cannot beat the value and it comes with a warranty thank you hausbell i love you
