Compact, easy to use, works Perfectly on short hair! [SEP] I actually purchased this item to use on my son’s hair as it’s not very long on top. I’m impressed. It’s small and lite weight size makes it easy to use, store, and travel. The brush pulls his hair up, making it simple to style. Flatirons won’t work on such short hair. But this item is amazing. I highly recommend it. I also have not noticed the frying that I see with flat irons.
