Reviewer: M from Colorado  Wed May 04 2005

This is a great curling brush. Fits good in your hand and heats up quickly. The switch doesn't get turned off accidentally when you are using it.

Product Rating: 4 The curling brush
Reviewer: Tammy Cobb from Kentucky  Mon May 02 2005

I was just so pumped to finally find a big curling brush! I have looked everywhere. I was a little disappointed though. I think that the curling brush I received just doesn't seem to get hot enough, however, I still relaly like it and use it everyday. I have really thin fine hair and I have tried numerous cuts with no real satisfaction so I decided to just let my hair grow. It is now shoulder length and I can at least do a little with it thanks to the curling brush I ordered. I really like the big SOFT curls I get with it. I ranked it at only a bit above average because I was finally able to find one but like I said before, I think the brush should get a little hotter. The tip gets plenty hot but the barrel doesn't seem to and my hair does get caught around the or should I say between the barrel and the handle if you know what I mean, I wish it wouldn't do that. I would like any heads up I could get on any new products like the big curling brush. If you come out with a new and or improved big curling brush please, let me know!!!

Reviewer: Diane Hilliard from North Carolina  Fri Apr 22 2005

I have been looking for a 1/2 inch curling brush for a long time. This size is very hard to find. I was very happy when I found one at Folica. It was priced very reasonable. I received it in a short time. I have been using my Helen of
Troy curling brush for a little over a week and I am very pleased with it. I am a very happy customer and will recommend Folica to all my friends. Thank You!

Product Rating: 4 Helen of Troy Professional Brush Iron 1/2 inch
Reviewer: Jan   Wed Apr 06 2005

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.

Reviewer: Kathy Mougin from Massachusetts  Mon Apr 04 2005

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.

Reviewer: Jeri Weiss from Dickinson, ND  Fri Apr 01 2005

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.

Product Rating: 5 thank you
Reviewer: jamie harmon   Tue Mar 29 2005

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.

Product Rating: 5 I finally found it
Reviewer: Jan Johnson from Indianapolis, In  Fri Mar 25 2005

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!!

Product Rating: 4 Impossible to get anywhere else!
Reviewer: Terry from West Virginia  Fri Mar 25 2005

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.

Product Rating: 5 Finally, a 1-1/2 inch brush iron!
Reviewer: Janice C.   Thu Mar 24 2005

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!

Product Rating: 4 Very Good Brush Iron
Reviewer: Sharon Alexander from Calif  Mon Mar 21 2005

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.

Product Rating: 3 Helen of Troy 1 1/2 inch brush iron
Reviewer: Jenny from FL  Fri Mar 18 2005

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.

I am very pleased with all of the features: Instant heat, variable settings for different types of hair and automatic off. This is an excellant product.

Product Rating: 2 Helen of Troy 1/2" brush curling iron
Reviewer: Judy CAmpbell from Pullman, WA  Thu Mar 10 2005

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.

Reviewer: Diane S. Goodpaster from Ocala, FL  Mon Feb 28 2005

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.

Product Rating: 3 Nothing to Write Home About, But it Works.
Reviewer: Brush Iron Devotee from The Northeast  Sun Feb 27 2005

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.

Product Rating: 3 1 1/2 Helen of Troy Professional Brush Iron
Reviewer: Rebecca Burton from North East, MD  Tue Feb 22 2005

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.
