Have you seen one of these before? It looks like a (semi) regular hairbrush but it works (kind of) like a straightener. It's a hair brush straightener

I have seen these all over YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram - so when a Groupon came up for one I decided to give it a try.
What I was hoping for - a faster way to straighten my hair in the morning. Something that would be quick, easy, and effective.
What I got - I'll give this one a 2 out of 3.
Quick? Relatively, the temperature controls on this thing are in Celsius (not great for us "dumb Americans") but just so ya know ~200 C is 400 F which is what most regular straighteners get up to. It didn't take an exceptionally long time for this to heat up or anything. I wish there was a solution for straight hair that didn't require you to plug something in. I guess thats what they call chemical straightening - no thank you to that for me! (half point)
Easy? Definitely! This is super easy to use! Basically it is the same as brushing your hair except you go a little slower on each stroke and section pieces out a little. (full point!)
Effective? Wellllll... this one is hard to say. See pic below then keep reading.
So the after is definitely better than the before - is it straight though? Not as straight as when I use my straightener. (half point)
Here's a bonus though! I felt like my hair was not getting {as} damaged! Even thought this thing gets super hot I think because of the brushing motion and the way your hair goes through the brissels you hair doesn't get as fried. No scientific evidence on this but thats how I felt.
Bottom line:
Do you NEED this - NO! If you have a straightener you don't need this, if you don't have a straightener then you probably don't care about having straight hair so again you probably don't need one. BUT if you want a quick way to de-frizz your hair without too much damage, it might be worth a try. Or if you just want to try it out yourself for fun - do it. Like I said, check out Groupon and I'm sure you'll find a deal!
Well, what did you think? Are you going to try one? Have you tried one? Tell me what you thought!
Don't forget to Sparkle!
