Straightening brush: what is it exactly?
The straightening brush is an electric brush that heats and straightens the hair quickly. It does not have the same effect as a flat iron, which leaves the hair flat. The purpose of the straightening brush is to make the hair look more natural.
How does the straightening brush work?
It has a coating of fine bristles that protect the hair root from heat exposure. When you turn on the brush, you must separate fine strands and brush your hair naturally, slowly and smoothly. Upon contact with heat, the strands will be slightly smoother.

Does the straightening brush work for any hair type?
It can be used on any hair type but will have different results. Very thick strands and hair with a lot of waves will not be straight. For this result, it is better to use a flat iron.

How long does the smoothing brush effect last?
This will depend on your hair type. But in general, the smoother effect will not be maintained after you sleep or sweat a lot. It can be compared to the act of drying your hair with a hairdryer at medium temperature. It doesn't have the same effect as using a brush, but, on the day, it reduces the volume of the hair.

Extra Tips:
- If you can, test the product at a beauty salon or at a friend's house before buying it.
- Before purchasing the product, check that the voltage is compatible with your home voltage.
- Check whether the model you purchased should be used with dry or damp hair.
- Avoid applying treatment oils to the hair before using the straightening brush.
- Use a good heat protectant to protect your hair from the heat.
- Untangle the wires well before starting to use the device.
- Separate thin strands and pass the brush firmly and a little slower than a normal brush.
- Do not pass the brush too many times on the hair roots. It is the most sensitive area and gets damaged quickly.
