Great Styling, But Short Life Span>>>

This is a great styling tool, however, after using it moderately for only 6 months it ceased working. Hopefully, the manufacturer will re-design this styler in order to increase its functional time span.
Great work until it melts...

I have had three of these, so far, and love to use them. It's easy to use and easy on my hair but, two have already melted on my hair. That's not a perfected product. It must have a flaw in the heat element.

This product would be perfect IF:
(1) it had enough wattage to actually dry hair,
(2) the brush could be removed for drying, and
(3) it had a longer life-span.
As it is, I would not recommend it to potential buyers.
Motor burns out after only 6 months

I just want to report that I, too, love what this tool does for my hair (thin, straight), but the quality of the tool's inner parts must be poor, because the tool burns out after 6 months of everyday use. I partially dry my hair first with a blow-dryer.
Hot-air brushes are hard to find. I wish the manufacturer would address this short-life problem.
It dies SO FAST.

I've gone thru this 4 times. My stylist recommended me this, cos it's non drying and healthier for your hair. Especially if you have thin, fine, straight, flat hair like me. It's pretty good for creating natural wavy look. But it dies so fast. If you use this almost everyday, it will gives you about 3 or 4 months life span. It will shuts off by itself, and then on again after 5 minutes and works for 2 minutes, stop again. Soon, it dies forever. ANNOYING!!!
Great styling, poor quality

It's hard to give this a rating. Styling wise, this is the best hot air brush I have used. It dries my hair fast and my hair has great body. Also, I my hair doesn't get damaged the way it did when I used a standard blow dryer and brush. However, as others have noted, it doesn't last but a few months! I have gone through 4 in the last year and a half. They only last 4-6 months. Now, I have short hair and it only takes at most 10 minutes to do so it isn't like I'm using for 1/2 hour+ a day. It starts by shutting off after a few minutes then just stops turning on altogether. But, it does a fantastic job styling...
Styling, not drying

For those who complain that it takes forever for them to dry their hair with this product, I don't think hot air brushes are for going from wet to dry. I've been using them for years, and I blow my hair semi-dry quickly with my regular dryer, and then finish styling with this brush. It works fabulously well, and is so much easier than a curling iron for getting a nice, soft style.
Not hot enough to do the job

Takes too long to dry my fine, curly hair. Like most hot air brushes, it's just not hot enough to do the job adequately. I'm still looking for one that's right for me.
Excellent Product

I love the Helen of Troy Hot Air Brushes. I have 2 of them (different sizes). My hair never gets tangled and they dry my hair a lot quicker than using a hair dryer and brush.

I have used the 3/4" and 1" models for years and like them both very much for drying and styling at the same time. The 3/4" model is hard to find in the area stores so I was delighted to find it online at Folica.com. I believe it is the best product of its kind - it handles two styling jobs at one time.
This is a Toy Dryer!

Hot Air Brush Return
Reviewer:

This product seemed to be of excellent quality. I plugged it in and it heated very quickly.
I returned it because it was not the syle I was looking for and I decided it wouldn't work well for my purposes.
Folica notified me when they received the return and refunded my purchase price quickly. Nice company to do business with.
Love the way this handles...

This Hot Air Brush feels great in the hand. It is easy to use and adds luster and fullness to my hair. I wish I had discovered this years ago. Had hoped it would be dual voltage, but it wasn't. Thus, 4 stars instead of 5. I wound up buying a hot air brush in Italy, and I'll keep that one for future European travel.
Great buy

I have had trouble locating a small brush roller in our areal and so was so very pleased to find one online. The service was so prompt I received it much sooner than expected.
Thank you

I've been looking for a long time for this kind of dryer and finally went on line to find just the right one. The Helen of Troy tangle-free hot air brush has given my fine hair so much more fullness! I've been using hot air brushes for the last 15 years. This one is by far the best hot air brush I've ever owned. I'll know just where to go to get a new one if it ever wears out!
Best Product for Thick Hair

I worked at the front desk of a hair salon and kept seeing this product fly off the shelf. Finally I decided to try it myself, and it was fantastic! I had never gotten the hang of using a round brush and hair dryer at the same time, and this fixed my problem. When I finally had to replace it, I tried another brush with flexible bristles and it was awful. It wouldn't hold my thick hair. I returned it immediately and went back to my trusty friend. I'll never make that mistake again!
