Remington Flexibrush Steam Hair Styler for Short or Long Hair (Creates Waves, Curls & Body, Steam Function for Gentle Styling, Ceramic Coating for Even Heat, Curl Release, 60 Second Heat Up) CB4N

I'd be lost without it! Great product

I’ve bought these curling tongs before they are brilliant , and definitely would buy again

I've tried using straighteners and curling tongs, but always seemed to burn my fingers, especially when trying to curl the hair at the back of my head. However, because this is a brush, I can touch the prongs without being burnt, which makes it much easier to use.It takes a few minutes to heat up if you want to use the steam feature, but to save waiting I turn it on while I dry my hair. The little water reservoir at the end is simply unscrewed, filled with water and screwed back on and when it's hot enough the end is pushed down to release some steam. You need to be careful if you have the steam styler near bare skin, but it's a relief not to have to worry about burnt fingers any more.I find the technique for using it easier than the technique for using curling tongs, because with the Flexibrush the hair is wound from the ends to the roots (like you would wind on a hair roller), rather than winding the hair around the barrel with your fingers.There is a button for releasing the hair after curling so that the bristles swivel around the barrel, but it's a bit stiff and doesn't really work on my hair as it's so thick and coarse, so I just carefully unwind the flexibrush instead and leave the curl to cool. When I was curling the back of my hair, at approx 1.75cm the cord wasn't long enough for me to be able to see in the mirror, so it could do with being a bit longer.Pros - lightweight, easy to use and less likelihood of burning fingers, barrel size good for shorter length hair, swivel barrel, comes with a second set of different length combs for the barrel for thicker/longer hairCons - takes about 5 minutes to heat up with the steam feature, the hair release button is a bit stiff, and at only approx 1.75cm (69 inches) the cord could do with being longer

I buy these for someone else and they use the styler every morning with steam. I know they wouldn't change from this make and model. Ideal for refreshing a loose perm or natural curls, or indeed creating new loose curls and ringlets in straight hair, and of course in dealing with bed hair. The steam shot adds extra curling ability and the pull-release is also easy to master. Looking at when I purchased the last one of these, it was 2015. So these seems to last a good 6 years if being used with steam. What breaks is the steam button at the end - the spring goes rusty and the plastic perishes. This is even with emptying the brush of water and hanging it up to let it fully drain each day after use, as well as drying off the steam push button end. But 6+ years is a good life expectancy for an item which in 2022 still costs less than £17, particularly when it is being used every day. Buy this styler first if you're in the market for one. Cheap, reliable, long lasting, easy to operate, and it really does work.

Excellent hair product and easy to use for a quick easy fix with curl

I never normally write reviews but this product nearly ruined my daughter’s hair. The instructions are useless and the brush got completely tangled in the front of my daughter’s hair during the first time of using it. Her hair would not unravel from the brush at all so we quickly switched the product off and my husband came to the rescue. After an hour of patience and perseverance he eventually got most of her hair out from the claws of the brush but it was a complete nightmare. We will never ever use this again and will stick with the much easier and safer curling wands. I can see from the reviews that our experience is not unique.

Excellent hot brush. Have used this model for years and never found a better basic brush.
