Revlon Hair Straightening and Styling Brush | Great for Second Day Styling (4-1/2 in)

This brush is a nice alternative to the clamp styler straightener. The advantages are: it’s harder to burn yourself, it’s somewhat less damaging to hair, it’s easily adjustable and SHOWS the digital temperature setting on a digital display screen, the comb is built-in, and it’s 100-240 volts so all you need is a small adapter plug and it works anywhere in the world. It does seem a bit hotter in 100-120v countries than in 200-240v places. This product is advertised as good for short hair, too, but probably won’t work on hair that is less than 4 or 5 inches long. In my experience, the straightening effect doesn’t last as long as a traditional hair straightener, but either way it’s not a big deal since the effect is gone after washing for both tools. It seems a lot of reviewers don’t understand this point (ask your stylist if you want to confirm): NO hair straighter or heat brush is permanent, or even semi-permanent! If you want a more permanent solution, your ONLY choice is to get chemically-assisted hair straightening in a salon. That will last for months, but also damages your hair somewhat like bleaching does. So it’s certainly not for everyone. Anyway, I still recommend this as a daily hair straightener, but make sure you apply a heat protectant product to your hair first AND that your hair is completely dry before using it. Start with a lower temperature first and then go up in increments (it goes in increments of 20 degrees) until you get the temperature you need. And don’t worry about a slight buzzing sound - that’s the ionizer pumping out positive ions to help reduce/prevent frizz. If this product stops working, I will edit this and drop the review score, but for now it’s been working fine for months. Make sure not to get this product wet!

Game changer! I bought this hairbrush straightener for my very thick, curly, kinky hair it works amazingly! It heats up quick, stays on, the high temp is perfect for my hair type. It’s straightens it out along with providing a beautiful shine without making it heavy. I have had a neck injury and have limited range of motion in my neck, hands, arms I’m able to reach the back of my head with ease with the XL size. Love it❤️ I have a Dyson that was over $600 that I couldn’t use effectively on the back of the head, REVLON’s bristles are thicker/longer to accommodate my thick hair & is a great value!

Including pics of before and after. This just arrived today and I was able to literally sit on my couch and section and straighten my hair. It is easy to get my roots and not burny my scalp or hands since it has non-heated thick plastic bristles blocking your hands and scall from the little heated plates. For it to straighten you need to hold the ends of your hair and pull it taut for the brush to really get into the hair. It didn't do as well on the ends as an iron since it can't grip ends as well. My hair is also not as silky as with my babyliss flat iron, but for the price and ease of use and quick speed this brush is definitely worth having. I know I'm tired of standing in my bathroom mirror ironing small sections of hair. I don't think this woukd be great for shaping bangs etc so I will still use my iron for that. Keep in mind this is for styling dry hair. It does have vents on the back to vent steam from products etc. So keep your hands away from the back of the brush. I docked a star because this does not do a great job on ends.

I love this heat brush it works so well in my daughter's hair it doesn't bother her it's not too hot for her and I started using it when she was about four and a half and she loves it, it is so easy to use. But I do wear a heat glove just because her hair gets hot which is great because it means it's straightening it but the brush itself stays cool.

I was really excited to try the REVLON SmoothStay XL Straightening Brush, and while it has some great features, it didn’t fully meet my expectations. The brush heats up quickly and is easy to use, which is a big plus. It worked well on my friend’s fine hair, leaving it sleek and smooth in no time. However, I have thick, wavy hair, and it struggled to give me the results I wanted. Even at the highest heat setting, I had to go over each section multiple times, and it still didn’t get as straight as I’d hoped. It’s also a bit bulky, making it harder to reach the roots or use on shorter layers. Overall, this brush might work great for people with thinner hair or less texture, but it’s not the best choice for anyone with thick or coarse hair.

great for curly hair!!! the heat level can be adjusted, and its 100% worth the price

Me encanta este cepillo/plancha. Recuerda tener el cabello bastante seco para evitar el maltrato, como toda herramienta de calor. El cabello queda suave, sedoso y con brillo. Lo prefiero muchísimo sobre la plancha de cerámica. Al menos para mí que no soy diestra arreglándome el cabello ha sido un ÉXITO.

Was a mistake, bought after reading reviews and with much hope, but it was a waste of my money, missed return deadline with hectic days and I wasted my money :-(
