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!

I have been using this curling iron for a long time, and finally replaced it after many years of use. I even take it along when I travel. My hair is long and very fine so I don't need to spend time using a blow dryer. I love this productso much that I purchased one for my friend. It works well for touch ups too.
A Very Good Product

I travel several times a month in my job as a flight attendant. The Air Brush works well using a converter when I happen to be in Europe. One caution however, be careful not to cover the air intake grill at the base of the handle with your hand while in use as this may cause the thermal protection to stop the motor and heating element. Another tip, keep the intake clear of lint. I use the vacuum cleaner hose once every couple of months to remove any lint build up. This is a unique product and has served me well.
I love this product!

I love this product! I had another one of these for years (10+) and it was still working, but did not come apart to clean so cleaning was a pain. This new one is so easy to clean. I too, have short fine hair and this hot air brush works great and makes my hair look thicker. I'll buy another one in the future.
My Favorite

I was elated to find this curling iron on the internet. I had one for nine years and when it stopped working, I didn't think I would be able to find another. I first purchased a similar model nine years ago at my hairstylist and have since moved away. It's been my favorite hair styling tool for years. Its easy to use, I wait for my hair to be almost dry (or quick dry it with a blower) and use the curling iron to style curls into my hair. Its fast and easy. Thanks, Folica, for making my search for its replacement quick, easy and with no hassles. This new iron/dryer is just like my old faithful and I hope to get a number of years of service from it as well.

This is the worst hot air curling brush i've ever had. If you turn it off..you have to wait for it to cool down to start it up again. It tangled my hair so bad i almost had to cut it out plus it has actually burned my hair off in spots.
Wonderful for fine hair

This is my second one. I used the last one for 4 years and it finally wore out. I couldn't find one locally so I got on the computer and began looking. Thank a million for helping me locate the new one. I have real problem hair and this tool works great for me.
Can't live without it!

I have used this product for years. I have worn out 3 of them and can't find them in any of the retail stores anymore. I especially like the smaller 3/4" barrel and drying and styling at the same time. I'm buying 3 on-line this time -- one for use, one for travel, and one for a spare.
Bad Problems
Reviewer:

Once you turn it on, you can't turn it off again and expect it to start back up until it cools down. So you can't answer your phone or take a sip of coffee or turn it off for any reason if you're in a hurry. Worse still, the removable hard-bristle pastic brush melts after a few weeks of use and can even melt into your hair. I have used a hot air brush for 20 years and never had these problems with any other brand. Too bad, as I did like the way it styled my hair.
Love It!

This item is so much better for your hair ... You can blow dry and style at the same time, just heating your hair once.
3+ years happy

I have been using a Helen of Troy blower brush for over 3 years. I am ready for a new one and will be buying the same product.

After just a few uses the brush has started to get rickety, that is, parts of the brush are coming loose and it looks like it will get worse and worse. This is something I will be using on a daily basis and I did not expect this lack of quality for price paid.

This is an extremely great product - I would recomend it for the novice in doing a style. It is a comfortable tool to hold and produces great results.
The only problem is It shuts down too much!
Reviewer:

I love the design and how it combs through my long, course, curly hair! I am rating it average because it shuts down too often (sigh). Don't use this product if you're in a hurry. It usually shuts down 3-4 in the course of one styling session. I don't believe I'd buy this product again because it is too aggravating (for me) to wait five minutes for it to cool down.
Understanding the Problem
Reviewer:

I agree, the on and off again issue is annoying. I also agree that this is the best model for me, creating my favorite results. I learned that to keep my brush running all the time it requires regular cleaning. Here are the details: The brush has a protective thermal switch. When the dryer is clean, more air moves through the unit keeping it cool. However, as hair and debris collect on the units ventalation port, the air flow is restricted and the brush heats up. This causes the thermal cut-out switch to automatically shut the dryer down until a lower temperature has been achieved. If I don't have time to clean it and I just have to get it working fast, I blow my cool breath through the unit accelerating it's cool down time. Good Luck!!
Cool down before restarting?

Love this product except for the problem others note with it running continuously. I'm on my third one - but each one, after about a month of flawless performance, begins either shutting off during use or refuses to start back up if I turn it off, then turn it back on. If I let it rest for about ten minutes, it will come back on (but what a hassle when you're rushing to get to work in the morning!). It is an irritating glitch - wish it could be fixed because I have never found a comparable product for styling long hair.
