Helen of Troy Professional Tangle-Free Hot Air Brush 1-1/2in.

I have used this product for years. I own two at a time. One for home and one for my suitcase (I travel a lot). I have slightly wavy hair that looks unruly if not tamed and styled. This air brush works beautifully; results are smooth and chic. Hair damage is not a problem because hair never touches hot metal. I did literally burn one out while traveling in Africa despite using transformer and converter but that was a result of very unstable current in the country I was visiting. The only real problems I have ever had were so slight I hesitate to mention them. There is a small plastic screw "cap" on the end of the brush itself that holds the brush in place; it has a tendancy to come loose during use and must be retightened. The "teeth" that lock the brush in place and when loosened free the comb to spin and release the hair are made of a soft plastic that tend to wear down with heavy use.
