Review title is So not worth the money [SEP] I want to say first that I only use hot brushes on my hair, for years I have used the Conair instant hot brush and I wanted to see if I could find one with a longer cord. The Conair is a great brush but the cord is thin and short. I purcased a Hot Tools brush and it was great although I need at least a 1" diameter to use as I like to. The Helen of Troy brush is so cheaply made it almost looks like it is made out of one of the lids from a Starbucks coffee cup. The absolute worst, cheapest piece of poo ever. It takes so long to heat up that I never did see if it would get hot enough to work. DO NOT waste your money! I will go back to Conair until Hot Tools makes a larger barrel.
