This combination dryer/styler does neither well. I bought it because the John Frieda one I wanted to buy sold out on Prime Day. As this had also good reviews and was discounted, I decided try it. I don't know what kind of hair this works for, but mine is fine, chin length, and only slightly wavy so it really should not be a challenge for any hot air brush. This doesn't put out enough air to be a good blow dryer and it doesn't generate enough heat to either curl or smooth my hair. Plus, the hard plastic widely spaced teeth just go right through my hair. If I wind my hair up around it like you'd do with a round brush and a normal blow drier, despite the release function, it tangles into my hair. To top it off, the hard plastic was uncomfortable against my scalp. Basically, it was a whole lot of work to make my hair look worse than it does if I let it air dry and it took a lot longer than a regular blow dryer does. It is way easier to use than a brush and a blow dryer, which I've never really fully gotten the hang of, so I think I'd really like a better hot air brush. But this one was a disappointing waste of money.

I've used this styling brush for several years. I've always paid around $15-$17 for them, this is a new brand because Vidal stop making them. This one isn't the same, i have a hard time grabbing the hair with this one. I don't know if it's the bristles or what. I paid $40 for it, very disappointed
