My hairdresser used this brush on my hair and I eagerly tried to replicate the "right out of the salon style" and with this brush I have been coming very close. I have fine hair and this makes it straighter and allows my hair to move easily. I does take some coordination and some pins to section your hair, but the extra effort and time makes a world of difference.
Not For Black Hair....

...so don't purchase. It would be ideal for hair that was not kinky. The bristles are not strong enough for Black hair. Great product but not for every hair type.
THE BEST brush ever!

I read all these reviews at Folica and wanted to try it out for myself. I am a black female and I just started doing my own hair since the hairdressers in my town are mediocre. I had a friend who has the same hair type as me who kept telling me about a hairdresser in NYC blows her hair with a brush and that's it getting beautiful results. I had been to a hairdresser like that before in DC, but I just knew I wouldn't be able to pull that off myself.
Anyway, I just upgraded my dryer to a solano which is a great dryer that Folica has as well and just yesterday, I used the Phillips Monster Vent brush last night (4"). I could NOT believe my eyes when I did one section. I had to get up close to the mirror to make sure that this brush actually got my hair that straight and so soft, and on low heat at that. I showed my husband and he guessed that I flat ironed it. Had to tell I did not. The only reason I did get the flat iron out was for my bangs that are cut pretty short and I did hit a few areas for my roots. My hair is shoulder length and this brush got the results of a flat iron. And I got 8 weeks of new growth so I thought that the results were pretty darn good. I'm sure my results will start getting better as I keep practicing on how to use a brush to style my hair but this brush did a good job for a novice like me. Thanks to the reviewers for sharing your experience and to Folica for having such great products such as this one!!
Very Handy!

Very handy brush. It is definetly for those with thick hair, not useful for you if you have fine hair.
Excellent straightening brush

This brush is excellent for straightening all lengths of hair. The vents allow superior airflow. Thanks Folica for offering such great products!
the best to straighten long, curly hair

i have been using the 5" and 4 1/2 " for two years and these brushes are the best for straightening long, curly hair (down to my waist). the ONLY problem i have with them is the rubber around the handle...it catches hairs and can pull them out if i'm not careful (I remove it). i only wish i'd had these way back in the '60's and '70's (i'm 54). it would have saved me some painful nights sleeping with huge rollers in my hair.
Simply awesome...

If your goal is to have straight, smooth, polished hair, YOU NEED THIS BRUSH. Because this brush does all of the above, and it does it EASILY and QUICKLY. If you've been wasting time drying and then flat-ironing, do yourself a favor and use this brush instead. My hair is just past my shoulders and is on the thicker side...the 4.5 inch brush worked like a charm. I never liked the harsh, stick-straight look that flat-ironing gives to the ends of your hair...the Monster solves that problem by gently bending and softening the ends of your hair. Awesome...if you couldn't tell, I love it!!
A great straightening brush

This brush is the best I have ever used to straighten long curly hair. It leaves hair soft, straight and with a gentle body --- not stiff or flat like some other products.
It does not damage hair and can be used on dry hair to straighten between shampoos.
My only complaint is that I have broken several of the brushes by dropping them and once by packing it in a suitcase.
Still, I would rate this the top brush on the market for blow drying curly hair.
too big to handle

I found the 5" brush to be too big to handle.

I've been using the MonsterVent Brush for several years and it's the best brush I've ever owned. It's cut my drying time down significantly. I can straighten my hair without worrying about the damage caused by a flat iron.

This brush is the best I have ever used. It's perfect for straightening dry, unruly, frizzy hair. I never even touch a flat iron, this brush is all I need.

I have VERY wavy / curly hair and want to be able to wear my hair STRAIGHT ALL THE TIME. So it basically means that I have to put a lot of wear and tear into my hair to achieve that desired look. Unfortunately, all that can cause MAJOR DAMAGE over time.
I use Frederic Fekkai, Terax, and Bumble and Bumble Hair Products, I have the AMAZING Sedu Hair iron, the Babyliss 200 Thermal Ionic Dryer and A LARGE ROUND ceramic/metal/ionic hair brush (I use all these things EVERYDAY).
Well my hair was getting FRIED so easily and I didn't know why.....I was using the "BEST" hair care products, I don't dye my hair and I am VERY Careful with my hair....so what could it be??
I went to get all my dead ends cut off and I walked in the salon and my Original Hair dresser had to leave early for some reason and the only person that didn't have an appointment scheduled was a NEW Girl, FRESH out of beauty school.......... I really could not reschedule so I went with her......and we got to talking about my hair care regimine and I told her about ALL my hair care products and she made a funny face when I told her about the brush I used to dry my hair with. She took out this MONSTER BRUSH and told me that I should start using that.........NOT only is it gentle on my hair, but it also does NOT retain heat like my metal brush.......my metal brush would heat up and cause my hair to singe, break, and to become dry and brittle.
I was pretty skeptical that it could be that, BUT I decided to trust her. So I decided to order this brush and I have been using it for 6 months......WITH MY NORMAL HAIR ROUTINE....and I am VERY PLEASED to say that I no longer have TONS on BREAKAGE and NO MORE dry and brittle hair. It WORKS FOR ME. I LOVE IT!!
