I have very very fine thin hair. This is the best curling brush I have ever found. Send me 2 more to have in my closet in case something happens. Love this product

Product Rating: 3 Brush Iron
Reviewer: J. Lynch from Missouri  Thu Sep 01 2005

I was disappointed in my Brush Iron because I misunderstood the ad thinking it was a hot air brush. I have used it a little but it takes a long time to heat up.

Product Rating: 5 great for today's style
Reviewer: B. Wilkes from Holland, PA  Thu Sep 01 2005

The mega-sized curling brush does a great job of straightening out hair while at the same time giving the ends a full, but soft curl. It also makes my limp, flat hair more full of body, structure, and direction.
It's easier to use than regular irons because you don't have that added step of combing a section and then inserting it in the iron. You just grab a section with your hands and brush right into it. The curl is also less severe.
This is the second brush of this same exact model I have bought over the years. The first one kind of got ugly and gunked up because I give each curl a spritz of hairspray while the brush/iron is still in place. That's ok!

Product Rating: 4 Great product
Reviewer: Paulette from North Dakota  Mon Aug 29 2005

I have been searching in vain for a brush type curling iron in my local stores. Finally did an internet search and found Helen of Troy at Folica.com. Just what I was looking for and an excellant product. Thanks so much!

Product Rating: 4 Finally!!! A large barrell curling iron!
Reviewer: Teri from Hampton, VA  Thu Aug 18 2005

YAY!! I finally found a large barrel curling iron! I have been searching everywhere for what seems like years to find a curling iron that would smooth my hair out and not make me end up looking like Shirley Temple. I could only find the curling irons that clamp. I really need the teeth for my super fine hair. When I came across this website and found this curling brush, I could not believe my eyes. I read through all the testimonials and was a little skeptical about making my purchase. But I thought I would give it a try. Man, am I ever glad that I did. It works perfectly with my type hair (thick but very fine). I will say that this curling iron does not get super hot like some others. But actually I find this to be a positive aspect in that it does not fry my fragile hair. I would very definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a styling tool to smooth and gently shape your hair. Thank you folica.com for selling this product.

Product Rating: 4 Well worth the money!
Reviewer: Diane Campbell from Fort Dodge, Iowa  Tue Jul 26 2005

Couldn't find a 1 inch curling brush anywhere around or in my home town. Was hesitant about ordering one off the internet, but was I ever happy I did. I was kept well informed throught emails of the progress of my order and it arrived within 1 week. I like this curling brush better than any others I have ever used. The bristles grip much better and it heats up fast. Very well worth the money. I will definately order another when this one wears out!!!

I love the 1-1/2 Curling Brush, I ordered from you. Could not find that size at any store. I'am so glad I ordered two of them.

Reviewer: christine from frankfort, illinois  Thu Jul 07 2005

i was very pleased with my purchase. it is very hard to find brush curling irons, i was so happy to find them here. i bought 2 different sizes and have used them both.
thanks!

Product Rating: 3 It works fair
Reviewer: Chris Maddox   Thu Jul 07 2005

It works fair for the price. The price was good, but it does not heat up enough for my hair. The tip also heats up to much to hold on to it to help role my hair. The product is fair.

My first curling brush lasted 7 years. I searched every store and couldn't find another one. Thank you Folica.com

Product Rating: 4 Helen of Troy Professional Brush Iron
Reviewer: Joe Smith from New York  Mon Jun 27 2005

I ordered this item for my wife because her old iron brush stopped working. She had been without one for a while. She shopped a number of stores to replace her old iron brush but they never had the one she was looking for. I decided to google it and Folica.com had the exact brush she wanted for a very good price. I ordered it and was advised it would take 4-6 days for delivery. To my surprise we received it in 2 days. My wife was very happy because it was just what she wanted and it works beautifully. makes large curls and it provides sufficient heat.
Thanx Folica.com

Product Rating: 5 Excellent
Reviewer: N.B. Villar from Mt. Juliet, TN  Fri Jun 17 2005

This curling brush is very difficult to find in stores. It is the perfect curling brush for those that do not know how to use a curling iron and for those that have short hair. I have been using this curling brush for at least 10 years. I recommend it for any type of hair. It is excellent and very inexpensive.

Product Rating: 5 Exceptionally wonderful
Reviewer: annonymous from New York  Mon Jun 13 2005

I have looked high and low for the small curling brush. You really made my day. And the service and quality are both great!!!!!!

Product Rating: 5 Excellent!
Reviewer: Joan D. from NY  Fri May 27 2005

It was exactly what I wanted. . . and I absolutely loved folica's prompt attention to and delivery of my order. I'd definitely order again

Product Rating: 5 Great Service and Product
Reviewer: Joanne from North Carolina  Fri May 20 2005

I love the 1 1/2 inch Helen of Troy Brush Iron. I can't find it in any store at 1 1/2 inches. I have looked in Florida, NYC, and North Carolina. Thanks so much for carrying this and when I wear it out - I will be back.
The quick service was great!!

Product Rating: 5 Helen of Troy 1/2 inch Brush Iron
Reviewer: Maxine M. Weir   Thu May 19 2005

After not beiny able to find the 1/2 inch brush iron any where else, I didn't expect too much. However, it gets sufficiently hot, has great control of the hair, has levels of heat and can be turned off without being disconnected. I am pleased.

Product Rating: 4 Excellent curling brush!
Reviewer: Kathleen   Tue May 17 2005

Brush was the correct size and heats up nicely. I never noticed a longer heat up time like someone else commented in their review. The product was better quality than others I've used in the past. However, the blue tip end does get hot. I also wish that the blue tip had a screw in the end to tighten it or to loosen it in order to remove teeth instead of the "turn & remove" system it currently has. It's too easy for the teeth to come loose if you just move the blue tip just a little.

Product Rating: 2 1-1/2" brush iron - Not hot enough? Too big?
Reviewer: Shelly Zollman from Coeur d'Alene, ID  Mon May 16 2005

I was disappointed with the 1 1/2" brush iron I ordered. It does not seem to get very hot, and since the barrel is so large, I don't really see much in the way of a curl on my straight hair. It is a replacement for my old 1 or 1 1/4" conair instant heat curling brush that finally stopped working. I LOVED that curling brush and Conair doesn't make them anymore.

Maybe I should have gone for the 1" barrel?

Product Rating: 1 It's hard to handle
Reviewer: Ginger from Midland TX  Fri May 13 2005

This curling brush's handle is too short, the on off switch is right where you hold the handle and so while you are using it, you are always truning it off by mistake. The worst part about this product is that the end (tip) gets hot, so it is very difficult to use.

Product Rating: 1 Won't heat up enough to curl hair!
Reviewer: E Lindsey from Fort Worth  Tue May 10 2005

Warning...DON'T buy unless you have a good return policy! Some work, SOME DON'T!
Bought the 1 1/2" brush iron by Helen of Troy. The iron doesn't heat up enough to curl hair. I still have my old curling iron brush by Conair, but the handle is broken, so I decided to read the temperature with an 'insta-read' thermometer. The Conair which is great sent the thermometer zooming up to it's max at 220 degrees, whereas the Helen of Troy slowly limped up to 180 degrees. Since I got it on ebay...tsk tsk, returning it would have only netted me a lousy 2$ return, so I threw it in the trash rather than give it to goodwill and have someone waste good money after bad.
