Helen of Troy Professional Brush Iron 1/2 inch

I have been using Helen of Troy brush irons for many years. The style has changed several times during my usage. I have been very happy with this product, but I really preferred the other barrel with the hard ring style of brissels. They got brittle and broke off in some of the later style changes, which was not the case in earlier production of this product. I especially like the 1/2 inch barrel. I have short hair and it gives me the tighter curl needed wherever I want. I hope this product is never discontinued. I have never been able to master a curling iron, and the brush iron allows me to manage my hair to meet my needs.

I must say I have seach the web and stores for a 1/2 curling brush and was so excited to have found this one made by Helen of Troy. I have been using my curling brush for about 2 weeks and I am very pleased with it. It heats up fast and has a good handle for curling. I am a very pleased customer and purchased (2) curling brushes.

I had searched in stores from Minneapolis to Portland looking for this particular kind of curling iron and couldn't find it anywhere so I was pleased to find it at the Folica website (so pleased I ordered two!!!). The price was reasonable and delivery was quick... thanks Folica..... Jeri W.

I would just like to thank you for continuing to carry the product I ordered(Helen of Troy Professional 1 1/2" hot brush). It is virtually impossible to find an item like this anywhere else. Most items like this are a combination blow dryer/curling brush and you can't use the curling brush without the dryer being on. I don't always need to dry my hair, just add some curls. I do not like curling irons because of the danger of burns and the curling brush gives the curl and volume I like without getting too close to the scalp. Thank you again and I look forward to receiving my new hot brush.
I finally found it

Thanks Folica!! I have been shopping around for months trying to find a mini curling brush in Indianapolis. I was so happy when I finally found it on your website!! I have used Helen of Troy products for years but the local stores stopped carrying the 1/2 inch model and told me they couldn't order it. I am very happy with it and Folica processed and shipped my order immediately!! Thanks again!!
Impossible to get anywhere else!

I had been using a 3/4" made by another company but as my hair grew, I was needing another size. Helen of Troy was the only place and believe me, I looked. I'm a little disappointed that it takes so long to heat and I would like to have a 1 1/4". I like that the bristles of the brush are flexible and are easy on the scalp.
Finally, a 1-1/2 inch brush iron!

I have searched everywhere for this size since I have been using this size for many years and needed to replace it. No one has it. The only size out in the stores is the 3/4 inch. It takes the friz out of my hair without taking the curl out. I think I'm going to order a spare since this was impossible to find. Thanks for making this available. It works great!
Very Good Brush Iron

This is a good brush iron that has good heat. The only
drawback I have found is that the tip is very hot and
short.

Folica was great, fast. Like other reviews I have read, the iron does not heat up as quickly as most, but it does heat up well given time. There is an area between the brush and the handle that catches and pulls out hair if you are not careful. All in all, I am happy with the purchase, and do use the iron. It just could use a few improvements in it's design. Being able to find the large diameter brush is definitely a plus to me.

This curling iron has two disappointing features: 1. The brushes have knobs on the ends, making it hard to pick up my short, fine hair. 2. I hold both the handle and the tip when using an iron, and the tip is too small. I tend to burn my fingers in the process.

I am very pleased with the product. I was not able to get a 1/2 inch barrel size in the stores, so I was thrilled when I found it online. It was exactly the size I wanted.
Nothing to Write Home About, But it Works.

I was looking for a 1 1/2 - 2" diameter brush iron. I currently use a "Hot Tools" brush iron - and REALLY love it. Appearantly, they don't make a brush iron in this diameter because I've searched everywhere and can't find anything even close. What I did find, was this "Helen of Troy" 1 1/2" brush iron. I read the item description and other reviews before purchasing this product and feel that it was accurately represented. The reason I actually bought this item is because I had no other option. I was unable to find a brush iron in this diameter made by anyone else, sold anywhere. My opinion of this product? I find that the rubber tip becomes only mildly warm (not hot) which is not a problem for me. What I don't particularly care for about this brush iron is that it takes approximately 20 minutes for it to reach full temprature on the "High" setting, and that even on it's hottest setting, I still have to hold it in my hair 10-15 seconds longer (per section of hair) than my current brush iron. I don't think this is a bad product; I think this is an average product. As I've said , I'm used to "Hot Tools" brush irons which reach full temperature very quickly (no more than 10 minutes - regardless of the heat setting). Also, they have numerical settings up to 10 - which are MUCH hotter than this product and therefore, MUCH quicker to use. All of this translates to less time spent in the morning styling my hair. In a word: convenience, something I really like. I'm basically comparing Rolls Royces to Ford Tauruses. Although this product is not near the standard I'm used to, it is exactly as advertised, and will do what it says it will - it will get the job done.

I am NOT too satisfied w/this curling brush because:
1. it doesn't get hot enough - it's large so it should get hotter,
2. it doesn't show a ready light-the light is on immediately
3. hard to tell which way to turn it to hi or low,
4 I am please that I finally found a curling brush so I guess I shouldn't be so picky.

I LOVE THIS LARGE BARREL BRUSH IRON. NOT ONLY DOES IT WORK EXTREMELY WELL BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE IN THE STORES THAT IS NOT 3/4 INCH. IT HAS GOTTEN ME THROUGH SOME BAD HAIR DAYS. THANK YOU

I went everywhere looking for a brush iron since I can't use the smooth iron. Someone told me they didn't make them anymore. I was so happy when I saw this on the internet. Out of the thousands of curling irons, you are the only one who has the brush iron!
I ordered two of them in two different sizes. It gives me a curl I'm very satisfied with.
The delivery service was excellent.
My only complaint is the tip gets too hot and I burn myself.
Since I can't find this type anywhere else, I'll gladly put
up with a little burn.
Very satisfied customer.

First of all, it seems to be increasingly difficult to find a stand-alone brush style curling iron outside of professional beauty supply houses. This scarcity of product led me to the internet, and my order of the Helen of Troy product.
Even though the delivery schedule was stated to be within 10 business days it came much more quickly than that. The product has performed beautifully since I've started using it and I am very happy with it. I didn't realize that the 1/2 inch model was so narrow -- it gives a Shirley Temple type curl on my short hair which is more than I wanted so I guess I am going to order the 1 inch, from the same source. My satisfaction level is very high and so far my spam-o-meter suggests that my information has not been shared with other vendors. This is a factor I consider very important as well.
