Helen of Troy 1554 Thermal Hot Air Brush, White, 1 Inch Barrel

 (7 customer reviews)

I have LONG, STRAIGHT hair that is hard to hold curl. After using my mother's hot air brush that has a rubber-type barrel and dates back to the early 1990's, I searched EVERYWHERE for one like it because it is perfect for my hair type--long, straight and fine. The closest I came to finding one like my mother's was this one (Helen of Troy 1" Model #1574R). The metal barrels do NOT give my hair ANY body or even any curl. Nothing! But this plastic-type barrel gives me softness OR curl, depending on how long I hold it in place. The rubber-type or plastic-type barrel has proven the absolute best for my type of hair. I bought the 1" at an Ulta store this week and am now on Amazon to buy a 1.5" because my hair is so long on the bottom that I want the smaller one to use on the top and sides of my hair and the larger one to use on the bottom. I highly recommend this product because the barrel is so much more conducive to providing body and/or curl to my very straight, fine, hair!!!

This hair dryer brush stopped working on the low setting, Tried to use the higher setting, but was too hot. You just have to keep it away from your scalp. I contacted Hair Products to make an exchange. They said they could do that even without the original box it came in. I have since decided not to send it for exchange, because it is better than the ones I have used in the past and don't want to be without it. I have straight, thin hair and this product gives me more body than any other hair product I have used. I like the bristles, because it grabs my hair and holds it for great body and a nice curl.

I love my helen of troy hot air brush. It is so easy to use and no warming up time.
