I bought this hot brush about 3 weeks ago to replace another hot air brush I had been using for about a year - but my new "fringy" haircut did not respond well to the old styling brush. So I tried my old standby Conair one more time and am thrilled with how it leaves my hair so SHINY and removes the "deep waves" that formed from the new haircut. It heats up super fast and the silicone bristles are neat too as they won't break off if I accidently drop the styling brush. GOOD JOB, CONAIR! THANKS!!
