Drybar

 The Curl Party Heated Curling Round Brush

completely tangled in my hair had to cut a big chunk out very disappointed since i usually love dry bar products.

I think about a good salon blowout - for my long thick, curly/wavy hair the best ones are when they really use tension and kinda pull my hair with the giant round brush to get it smooth first. I use it on a hot setting and haven't burned myself yet so it seems safer than a curling iron that is all metal. This Curl Party mimics that - it grips and holds your hair as you brush it through and then hold the curl at the end. It's a real well made tool for my heavy hair. It has a nice corn on the cob style grip at the end which makes releasing the piece of curl easier. Just use it like a round brush and not like a curling iron- it will get stuck on your hair if you rush it like a hot iron that has the clamp. I found the best results when I brush it out first all over with the hot brush THEN curl. It looks amazing and holds. Highly recommend for those with thick frizz prone hair!

I had reservations after reading the reviews and now having tried this brush I am not sure why the rating is so low. I have short mavy hair and this brush is amazing, doesn't pull my hair and my hair never got stuck in it. I can make my hair do whatever I want with this brush, and my hair is very difficult to style, it normally doesn't hold style and doesn't do well with products. With this brush, even with a fairly low temperature setting of 300F, I don't have to use anything and my hair stays smooth and keeps volume all day long. I love this brush and I do recommend it!

I bought this tool under the rec of a team member and man, do I regret that decision. I made sure to watch all the tutorials and test out in-store (with no heat on though) to ensure nothing would go awry but not even detangling your hair, going little by little could make this tool workable. The silicone heads do exactly the opposite and make your hair more tangled. I got a piece stuck and it became a vicious cycle as I was trying to untangle it to get it out. I'm lucky I have layers because I had to spend 1 hour getting my hair unstuck enough to a decent length to cut it off. Cried my eyes out due to the pain that I had to endure getting the hair at least a bit out. I returned the product to Ulta with hair in it because it was THAT BAD.

To begin, I paid full retail for this curling brush. It heats very well, works as it should ( providing you have experience with such a device. My issue is that it appears to rusting on the barrel and sometimes the bristles lay down and have to be stood back up. I think it is way over priced for what it is though. A lower end model does the job just as well and lasts me about 6 months. This one is rusting at around 6 months and I'll keep using it until it dies, but I will not repurchase.
