This type of brush works best for me to have smooth straight hair. But the quality of the product is worse than ever expected- it falls apart before even me touching it: the plastic tip on the brush would not hold at all And the brush hardly stays in its place while I dry my hair: I have to hold it from the plastic tip by my other hand so that it does not fall down, and every minute I have to bend down to the floor in order to pick up the plastic tip. It has to be there, otherwise the brush is too hot to touch. My first same item broke quickly, so I have been using this one for about a year. I and get nervous each time I have to use it. Unfortunately there are no many alternative products with the same brush. I hope I find a better brand some day (currently looking).
