I find that it was a little bulky to handle and I don't like having to push cool while trying to curl if it gets hot.
Love it.

This air brush gives my shoulder length fine hair body and super shine and softness. I use my T3 blowdryer first (another fantasic product) and dry my hair until damp and then I finish with this air brush. I can now do my hair in half of the time! No more velco rollers for me! Love it!
Just Okay

This brush worked for putting some body and a little curl into my hair. But it really didn't make my hair look smooth like a round brush and hair dryer does. After using this hot brush, my hair was kind of puffy and frizzy. It also doesn't seem sturdy enough to really get that pull that you need in order to straighten out the natural waves. I've since gone back to just blow drying my hair and then using the chi straighter to smooth it out and get that soft, straight but with body look.
Easy to use

This is a great hot air brush. It is particularly gentle to the hair. It has saved styling time in the morning when there is never enough time. Highly recommend!
It does exactly as stated!

The Helen of Troy ¾" hot air brush is absolutely perfect for short, thin, fine, problem hair. My hair length is to the nape and is slightly curly with cowlicks that, without work, appear like bald spots. I am amazed at the body and style I get when I work the brush against the growth as the instructions suggest. The curl is not straightened unless I want it to be and I can control the cowlicks. My only slight negative is that the handle is a little wide for the size of my hand (ring size 4¾). Thank you again Folia for another perfectly performing product.
Favorite Styling Tool

I have tried dozens of different styling tools from hot air brushes to hot curlers and this one is the best in my opinion. It does the best job of forming a curl quickly and making it hold.
I Love It!

This is the second Helen of Troy Hot Air Brush I have owned. I used my first one every day for years and was happy when I found the same model online. If you have straight, thin hair and want some waves or curls in spots, then this is the perfect hot air brush for you! It works great.
So far, it's okay.

This hot air brush is okay, but just a little bulky for my hands to maneuver. At least it doesns't shut off before I get my hair dry and that's a big plus!

This is a good product if you have very short and thin hair, which I do. I particulary appreciate the soft bristles and the low wattage, as it is not damaging to the hair. I am very pleased with the product.
not good for thick hair

it probley works good if you have thin hair, but I have thick curly hair and it didn't even get hot enough, and the brush kept spinning around when i put it through my hair. Other hot air brushes have worked for me before, but not this 1.

I purchased this curling iron because I needed one with a smaller barrel. This iron heats up quickly and with the soft bristles holds the hair for curling without hurting my scalp. I am very pleased with this item.
overheating?

I was disappointed when I tried my curling brush for the first time. I did my hair, then I shut it off to shape my hair a little. When I wanted to turn it on again, it wouldn't start. It had overheated. I like using the high setting, as it smoothes my hair easier. Now I've been afraid to use the high setting because I don't want it to shut off mid-hairstyle.

My hair is both curly and fine, so it generally tangles quite easily in dryer/curling brushes. However, the soft bristles on this product worked wonderfully. I actually use this hot air brush to take most of the curl out of my hair. This has been the best purchase that I have made for my hair in a long while. Instead of damaging my hair twice (as my hair is fairly fragile) with using a blow-dryer and then using a flat-iron, this product handles it all at once.

I really like the brush. The "Cool" option helps set the curl and the "Release" button is nice so you don't pull the curl out as you remove the brush.
The one thing I wish could improve: when I turn it off I cannot turn it back on in the next few minutes if I need to reset or get a spot I missed. I'm sure it's because the iron is hot and needs to cool off as a safety feature. I generally let the curls cool for 5-10 minutes before combing and spraying so as to keep most of the curl in. If I want to go back for a touch up the iron will not come on.
Other option would be just leave it on but that keeps the noise going and keeps the iron on much longer than necessary. Then it would really overheat. I've even moved it to the "cool" setting but the motor is still running and getting hot so that doesn't help either. I've pushed the reset button, unplugged then re-plugged but nothing changes. Just won't come back on.

I should have gotten the larger barrel because the bristles don't hold onto the hair long enough to curl.
Just "OK"

When searching for a curling iron, I was excited to run across this 3/4" nylon brush iron. The price from Folica was the best I found. I have been disappointed in it's mechanics. The iron over heats easily. Once that happens, it is hours and usually the next day before you can use it again. I have to consistenly change the temperature settings to finish my styling so this does not happen. That's a pain. You should be able to turn the iron off and on without this worry. I also found the reset button to be very stiff. The brush is advertised to dry your hair. The wattage is not there, so plan on using your regular hair dryer. I would not buy another iron from this manufacturer. Sadly, I did not find another brand out there with this type of brush type and size. I'll keep looking and hope that I do.

It is very hard to find anything that has any barrel less than 1" and I have been very satisfied with the 3/4" Hot Air Brush I have purchased. It's quick and dries evenly. I have very short hair so that is why I needed the smaller barrel.
