Hey guys so today I am here with a little bit of an experiment. I'M gon na be trying out a hair straightening brush. Now I came across this when I was browsing Amazon one day and it just caught my eye and I was like this looks pretty cool and I clicked on it and I started reading the reviews and it had a lot of good reviews. The one that I got and people were like it's significantly cutting down my straightening time. It really works squared on my hair, all that stuff. So I wanted to just see how it will work on natural, unrelaxed, kinky hair like mine, and see if it actually does a good job or not, and the one I got is this one. The brand is cool kisi and this is the box that comes in. So it looks like this: the power button is right here and you can adjust the temperature here. So the lowest temperature on here is 180 degrees and it goes up to. Let me see, let me crank this all the way up and it goes up to 450 degrees. I'M not sure if the camera is picking up the digital number here, but it does say the temperature that it's set on and this straightening brush. It came with this suede like bag to put the brush in a protective glove, so you don't burn yourself while you're straightening and it came with two hair clips - really helpful for when you're trying to section and straighten - and it came with this little brush right here To help clean the straightening brush so for those of you that may have come across a hair, straightening brush like this, and you were wondering, should I get it? Should I not get it? Does it really work on natural hair? I'M gon na be like the guinea pig for you guys and I'm gon na try it out. Hopefully it doesn't wreck my hair, so I'm gon na try this on 400 degrees. Normally, when I straighten my hair, which is not awesome at all, I put it on 450 degrees on my flat iron, but I'm gon na try 400 degrees with this and see how it goes so. My hair right now I washed and conditioned my hair last night, and I just let it air dry that normally do. I didn't stretch it so much because I really wanted to see what this brush was all about. So that's what I'm working with right now I don't have any other products in my hair I just washed conditioned rinse the conditioner out and I'll. Let it air dry. Nothing else is in my hair. So this is my hair and I'm gon na do one side at a time. Let'S do that. I'M just gon na section off some hair in the back and clip the rest up. I'M gon na apply a serum through my hair. Before I go through with the brush, and today, I'm using this Dove serum in oil ultimate hair Savior, I'm gon na use the tiniest bit of that. Just like one drop literally. This feels very oily and coating. So I think a little bit of this goes a long way. I'M gon na detangle this with a wide tooth comb. So I don't get any snags when I run the brush through all right. So now, let's see with this straightening brush is all about. I'M kind of nervous all right, I'm gon na start. It did pretty okay, this stretch and straighten, and that was just with one pass, but I definitely don't feel like it did as good as a job as my Flatiron and my hair doesn't look as shiny and luxurious and silky, I'm gon na crank this up actually To 450, so I can be fair because that's what I usually flat on my hair on, so I put this on 450 for the next piece. You want to clip that, so we don't get that mixed in with the next one. We do detangle with a wide tooth comb and I know I'm supposed to use this glove, so let me go ahead and follow along and put this on for this next pass. All right here we go well. That was a lot better, a lot better than the first one. It looks shinier than the first one. It looks straighter looks more bouncy. It looks closer to when I Flatiron my hair. So 450 is definitely the setting that I'm gon na stay on. What I don't like, though, are the roots I feel like. I can't really get close to the roots without burning my scalp, I'm gon na try. Actually, let me see if I could I'm so scared to like put get the brisket okay here, this brush yeah. I don't feel like I can really get close to my roots without the bristles of the brush, touching my scalp and I'm kind of afraid to go any to go any closer, which is why still feel like my roots, are super kinky all right, so I'm gon Na go ahead and finish straightening this side, and then we could compare it to this unstraight inside and I'll. Tell you guys more of my thoughts after I have completed this alright guys. So it is 8 minutes later and I have completed one side of my head. Actually, it's 8 minutes in filming time. If I were to do this without the camera, it will probably have taken me about 5 minutes, so I certainly got this done way faster than when I use my flat iron. So that is one thing I can say. That'S great about this, and I like how easy it is to use for those of you that struggle with the comb chase method, which is what I do when I straighten. This helps a lot with that, because you don't have to worry about getting the comb right. Getting the flat iron in the right position, all you have to do is brush through your hair with this, so it's very simple and easy to use. It does help to stretch and show off my limp, I'm just not too blown away by the results. I really wish that my hair was a lot sleeker, less poofy, then what it came out to be as far as the roots go, I did figure out a solution, so I just brushed through touching my scalp just brush through, and that seemed to help a bit With I'm getting my roots to lay a little flatter, but still as you guys can see it's a little kinky under there. My dad did help to give my roots a little bit more in sync, with the rest of my hair, a little smokey, but this is yeah. It just pales in comparison to a good flat iron job. I'M gon na go ahead and do the rest of my hair since I've already done half I might as well go all the way, depending on what style you're trying to do. It may call for more of a blown out or stretched you know base. So this could be good for that as long as you know that you might not get it super super stick straight. So even now I did three passes and is still so I'm all done. I actually did at least two passes on all of my hair, and this is the result to me this looks like a really bomb blowout. It does not look like. I straighten my hair, but I do see how this drinking brush could be of some use. Like I would do this if I need to relax the waves in my hair, maybe if I was doing something like an updo or some type of ponytail, where I didn't want it to be super wavy, I would maybe run the brush through. Just to you know, get that blown out look beforehand, but if you have kinky hair like me, if you have coarse hair, if you have very tightly coiled, hair and you're thinking about a bone straight, look, this might not be the best option for you. I'M just saying I actually thought it would work a little bit better than this, but I guess I can't be too mad at it upside to it. Of course, it's super easy super. Quick, even a beginner could use that and to do my whole head. I could do it in like 10-15 minutes, so it's good for stretching. If you want to see more of your length but for sleek super straight hair. This is not the business for hair. That is less kinky, it'll, probably work a lot better. It might even straighten your hair and make it look like you flat earned it, but for me no, I will be holding on to this, though I want to keep it in my arsenal. Just in case, I need to quickly get my hair to be more manageable. If I need to change my style up, if I need to get that blown out, look in a jiffy, but I'm not planning on this being a staple product that I use. But I will hold on to it I'll, keep it I'm going to go ahead and put my hair up into a bun. A lot of you guys like to see how I do my buddy, so I'm gon na show you right now brush it all up, and I would never be able to do this so easily if my hair were in its natural state. So, like I said that straightening brush, it does have some benefit to. It definitely made it a lot easier to work with from my edges that we're gon na use some of this edge control. Usually, if I do a high ponytail or something like this, I would use a hair hook. I don't have it near me right now, so I'm just gon na use an elastic band, but I would prefer a hair hook cause it's just easier and it gives my ponytail lot tighter, but I'm gon na use an elastic band for now edge control Brown's little Bit in the back, you just make a large twist shape my edges. Sorry you guys! So that's it hope. You guys enjoyed this demo thanks so much for watching as always and I'll catch up with you soon on my next video peace.
Comments
Monifa 360: This would be great for when you want braids or a light blown out look for trimming your hair. It definitely has potential
JustZaya: Girlll. I'm not looking for no bone straight look. I want people to KNOW I got a fro even when my hair is styled. Lol. Really not mad at this brush. I think it will work for someone like me who's not about that super straight life
Tamara Terrell: If I wanted a bone straight look, I’ll get a relaxer but this is perfect for me! Thanks
Sweet C: It's a winner as I see it! I've always like the texlaxed, kinky straight look over the bone straight look. I like the fullness since my hair is way too fine when bone straight.
KishaShares: I wouldn’t mind using it on my 9 year old. It would make it easy to braid or lengthen her ponytails. It looks like I wouldn’t need to blow dry her hair which means less heat. Thanks for the review!
Angela Ainsworth: You are so brave lol I'm lowkey ashamed to say I'm deathly afraid of straightening my hair. Damage avoidance is real lol anyway, I think it looks good though even if it isn't bone straight. I agree with you it's not for 4c kinky hair though unless someone is going for a textured look.
DenayTheDiva: It definitely looks good for stretching... for those who want to do it in a hurry with heat
c0c0 Luv: You make everything look so easy! I love the finished look
Chandra Rollins: Love it. Beautiful top knot btw. I think it’s great for a quick blown out look exactly for this ...a bun
4CKINKYDIVA: I like the results because I don't like the bone straight look
Cierra Farmer: I like the volume. And this just lets you know that it’s not going to damage the hair as a flat iron would. I think it’s perfect
NicNacAttack: Thanks for testing this. I'm 4c and might use for quick stretching only. I imagine people with heat damage from this are more inclined to keep brushing through their hair repeatedly like a regular brush. That would be something I would have to be conscious of if using this and remember it is a heat styling tool
M C: I love how it worked on your hair. I’m not into the bone straight look. I’m going to try it after I’ve stretched my hair with your stretch method (I love your method). Thank you!!! So glad it didn’t burn your scalp. I trust your reviews. God bless you!
Awillii: This is perfect for I don’t like the bone straight look. You look great!!
TheJacasserie: It is a good idea to use a heat protectant as opposed to oil. You will get the shine and movement, plus the oil fries the hair. It's stiff from the oil. Your hair is lush!!!
lynjs: I just got a Remington. I got kinky hair. I realized that one had to run the brush through the hair more than one time. The more you brush through, the sleeker the look. I also found out that the brush will not harm your head when going for the roots. You can feel the heat but not a lot. I just put a heat protector spray on my hair, comb through and then use the tool. What you should have done after you had finished was to continually brush through your hair for about 15 more minutes. The longer you brush it, the sleeker the look.
Erykah Leigh: It is a cute blow out look! Great video as usual!❤️
Aura Love: I don't need "bone straight" hair. I only perm my hair twice a year, and I usually wear wigs anyway so this would save me a lot of time in straightening/managing my hair in between perms. I actually NEED this !
When Black lives matter, All lives will matter.: This is great!! My hair is natural and fine. So this hair straightener would suit me as it would give it more volume and body. I wouldn't want my hair too straight anyway. I love my natural look. I would only use this for occasional use. This is perfect!!
Sade Cherrelle: I’ve noticed it’s really better suited for people with more relaxed curls. I only use it for when I want a messy bun that’s not super wavy/curly. My niece loves it. Her hair works really well with heat so she hasn’t experienced any damage
Katherine Miller: I have fine hair and it looks kind of limp and flat when flat ironed, so something like this would be great for me.
Sharon C: I love the fact that is really easy to use- beginners friendly. Thanks for sharing and merry Christmas
Lynn Edwards: I haven't watched your channel in a while and I am AMAZED at how long your hair has grown out! GO GIRL!
Tiffystyles: I’m so scared to put heat on my hair by myself I think it looks good if you’re going for that fluffy not bone straight look. I want to try that look one day !
Empress Afiya: Finally someone that reviewed this without blow dried hair. Thank you so much ❤️
Fine Natural Hair ROCKS: Oh wow!! How GORGEOUS!!!! I love how your results came out. As someone with hair that looks better with texture, I can definitely see myself trying this product out. I can see why you might not have enjoyed it as much though if you prefer a sleeker look. Either way, thank you for posting your review with us on this tool!
Eddiy: I love it when straight hair still has a bit of texture so this works for me. I've been thinking of straightening my hair when it's longer but when I watch Youtube tutorials it looks like too much work especially when I know that my hair won't take long to revert to its kinky state.
Atlbpowork Same: This works for me!! i blow dry my hair first, spray heat protectant spray and part in sections. I take each section and tilt my head. This allows me to get closer to the roots. I did this tonight and it took half the time it normally takes me to blow dry/flat iron my hair. I also put it on the highest heat setting.
Gracie Wandyte: It looks like a straight blowout, beautiful
K: Was waiting to see if this would be an accurate review. I have one of these, and it definitely does not straighten the roots of natural hair! Mine is in the bottom of my drawer. Only used twice, Not worth the money. I often consider the opinions/review of content You-tubers when buying hair products. Thanks for an honest review!
OhSoMarvalus: Heat damage happens when u over do it. Follow protocol to protect ur hair when using heat. I used mine on my 4c and had no issues other than it did not straighten it, it gave the same results as Kim's! I love that look
Nucola Joyner: I love how you make everything look so simple! You are such a beautiful young lady.
DeeJ085: I have a heated brush but I don't use it expecting the same results that I get from my flat iron. I like this to stretch my hair for braiding or other styles, but not for the silky bone straight look.
Heather Roebuck: I use the straightening brush before flat ironing. Great results!
Bossy Kiddo TV: Just bought one from Ross $16 works great for that blow out look after I wash my daughter hair. Love it. No complaints from my kiddo. Way easier then trying to blow dry using a brush. And better then just flat ironing her hair.
Diana Pryze: I love watching your videos not too much long always straight to the point and very inspiring…
Keisha Williams: I have this brush and I like it. It keeps my hair pretty straight and I part in small sections.
Carey Jackson: Thanks for being the guinea pig for us sis lol! I was looking into getting one of those brushes so I appreciate the review!
Janie Rodriguez: Love your end look! And especially your edges.
Amari_T: I actually really like this, not looking for the bone straight look, could use this on my daughter occasionally for a nice bun
Mocha Mommy: I can see using this as a way to style your leave out if wearing a u part, yaki straight weave or sleeking a ponytail. I can also see doing this then placing your hair in flexirods for a stretched rod set
Felicia Lally: Seems great as a quick one-step solution to stretched hair for updos etc. Even though you weren't enamoured, thanks for your review and high bun tutorial!
Jacqueline Rhoden: I think I like this product. I like the handle and the flatness of it. I think it's more manageable than the round ones. I'll use a heat setting that is comfortable to me. Thanks for sharing.
Falcon Griffith: Thanks for sharing this product! It always takes me an hour to blowdry my hair so I could see this replacing my blow dryer then using my flat iron to get it bone straight
Shanita M: I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this review video. I searched for this product and couldn't find it but I did find the Remington Pro 2 in 1 Straightener that gave the same results. I have a 7 year old who is extremely tender headed. Her hair comes to her waist and it is thick and curly. I can never comb her hair dry so I always have product in before detangling. This time I wet her hair with a spritz gun, finger detangled it and sectioned... Then I broke thise sections into smaller section and used my Denman brush. Once it was dry I put on a heat protectant spray and use the Straightener. Omg it was perfection. She cried once just because there were a few tangles in her kitchen but after she saw what the first pass through looked like she was sold. I will send you pics on IG. For 3 yrs I have been trying to find something to help manage all of this hair. It's so much easier to style and I like that it's not bone straight. I used the medium setting which worked perfect for her hair texture. Thank you again. ❤
Toy Dubz: I think this would be an awesome product for getting a little girls hair ready for a style or braids. My daughter is 20 with autism, and she has had super long hair all her life, and she cries when she gets her hair done ( doesnt matter how gentle i am, something about the way her brain is wired makes her EXTREMELY tender headed) . This would BE A LIFESAVER!!!
Aisha Solomon: I have one with heat settings. It makes my hair straight, but it is hard to clean between the brush iron plates so I think it would be expensive considering you have to replace it yearly for hygiene purposes.
Franky Avery: Usually not into nails but I really like the matte black on that shape. Thank you for the honest review. <3
NotYourFri£nd: I don't do bone straight, so this brush will be perfect for me.
Sandra Zo: I have refused to use this brush on my natural hair so far. I’m too afraid lol it does give a nice blowout look tho. I never expected the brush to straighten natural hair into a silky look, it’s great for Brazilian tho. Best thing to travel with
L Williams: I used this one time and had to cut all of my shoulder length hair to an inch because it was all heat damaged. I will be throwing it in the trash! It’s worse than flat irons!!! Stay away!!! And yes, my hair has been natural for 10 years, and now I have to completely start over!!!
Ley_la 955: That bun is fire. Love it. Thanks for the demo. Gonna buy it .
CrazyNaturalPrincess: I love this look. Flat irons have the hair looking thin
kittyskid1: That first pass would be good enough for my already thinning hair. I am going to add this one to my wish list. The price is right. Thank you.
MamaMilkBubbles: I love it! Keep slaying, mama
Samira Ray: As someone with type 4 hair I would definitely blow dry my hair first then use the brush for like super straight results
JC: Love your makeup here please do a makeup tutorial on this look!
Naturelle1221: I bought a brush like this at TJ Maxx and I like it. I use it faithfully on my natural hair only because I twist my hair on dry hair
Ms. Sharpe: I think this its best to blow dry with a blow dryer attachment or round brush using a clear serum. That gives a sleek base for any style. Hair looks so silky without even using the flat Iron. Then if you do decide to follow up with the flat iron you’ll get silk press type results. Speaking from experience ladies!
Tika Mosley: Hello beautiful!! Great video! Your styles are always super cute and NEAT as ever!and I love your clothing hauls... I’m 40 and trynna find my style all over again .. it’s like after my 5th baby I jus lost all desire to look cute..! But your videos inspire me so much
Chelly #310: Love you girl! Thank for tell the truth about the product..keeping in real
- 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 -: Just used one of these today. They are pretty quick. I barely use mine. I think I actually have two of them. Def not as straight as a flat iron like you said but a lot faster. I bought those hair hooks after watching your videos. Gotta film a video giving it a try soon ☺️
Safiatou Cisse: Looks great! You made me want this brush!!
Karlyn Lafleur: I actually like that it dont make your hair bone straight, this is a perfect straighter for my hair
Katywu Ste: You should try the combined hair dryer and straightening brush, it dries and straightens your hair beautifully and at low temps
Karibe: This is actually perfect for what I want and need.
EL GWAPO: Appreciate the product review it looked legit even know I did feel a little bit uncomfortable once you started going in on the kinkyness of your hair roots as well as the overall end result of your diy hairstyle just because you couldn't deliver that bone straight look that caucasians have it doesn't mean that you failed it just mean that your crown is different therefore for me that was a bummer! Me personally I thought your hair came up great with that method and to back ny observation the fact that you had no issues throwing your hair into a neat bun after that is the evidence that it worked but that's just my personal opinion To summarize don't be so hard on yourself kinky or not your natural hair looks great bone straight is not what black men are attracted to and love about their women there is a reason why god blessed us with hair so strong you know...
kandie coated: Hey Hun...I have a straightening brush as well and I'm natural...I get the same result when I use it and I hate that the buttons are on the handle I'm constantly cutting it off on accident or changing the heat volume which is so frustrating ♀️
Dr. Drena Valentine: Thank you for your honest opinion about the product!
Laggy: Aww, I had high hopes for this. I bought a brush straightener and the black coating started peeling off if the ceramic bristles. I would have to manually removed the pieces from my hair
Deshay’s Way of Cooking: Your hair looks great with the middle part kinky str8 look!
Momo Fashion: Hey love thank you for this video I just bought this brush I can’t to try it and your skin is everything for me
QueenSP Enterprise: This would be great before getting braids I can use this for my daughter her hair thick I can use this on her hair after blow drying and braids or her ponytails with some heat protector thanks
Chelsy Willis: Thanks for sharing this! I wonder if it’s better for touch ups after already flat ironing your hair.
Nature: Thank for going straight into the video/point. You look great, nice product too
Sandra Lin: I wait Faithfully every Sunday for a new video! Last week I thought Kim took a break this week good for her but I was also sad at the same time lol!
American Sweetheart: I have to go through my hair with that two or three times before it's silky straight and I'm starting out with fairly straight hair. I mainly use this tool to knock down the heavy texture so that I can style it another way.
M. Sanders: You made doing that bun look so easy
Daisy Flower: I have this, I tried it on my type 4 hair and I loved it. I use this when I want to trim my hair
Everyday Deanda: This would be good to do before a flexi rod set, but I wonder if actually blow drying would put less heat on the hair.
Chundre Filippus: I really love your idees, your hair and your energy ❤❤❤Thanks
The Red Rose: Yes, I agree, you should have used a blow dryer first, in all fairness. The same as you would when flat ironing. I like all the stuff that comes with that brush though.
life with Catherine: Your hair look nice. I been thinking about using one of those bushes myself.
New Naturel: I actually get straighter results with flat iron. My natural hair is so thick that when I use the straightened brush it looks more like a blowout. The brush pulls on your hair too.
V P/JUICEE: i have one and this is definitely not for my hair type. I looked like a Lioness sitting on her perch! Thanks for the review. Happy Holidays all!
renashay fields: Tried this on my 4c hair a couple of months ago, it fried my hair. I had to stop after my second parting. I couldn’t do it, felt like I was about to have a heart attack hearing it and looking at it fry.
catherine oliver: I've been using a brush like this fir the last year, its great, but I use coconut oil and follow with my flat iron for the roots.
Deanna Williams: Love your positivity!
Kawaii Gray: I know I’m off subject but can you do a house tour. I love your style, make up, hair, clothes. Basically everything. Your are the epitome of DIVA!!
Babymom Lifestyle: Your hair is making me miss mineI love how it turned out. Much love
Marquetta Smith: Whoa, your hair looks amazing
pershaeonlife: I apply heat to my hair maybe once every two months. I take Biotin and vitamin E daily along with my daily vits. I also make sure I wear my hair out and condition well between styles.
Kay Seminomadic: What would you recommend to straighten your hair via heat? I also didn't find success with a straightening brush.
Karmen Moore: I only use my straightener brush for when I get my hair braided. I hate to blow dry my hair bc it takes so long and i feel like it's just so much heat so I plat my hair, let it air dry and use my brush to prep my hair for when I go get my hair braided. For this purpose, I love my straightener brush!
saundy slays: i feel like it’s less damaging in a way. i like it!
Nitta Vanitta: My goodness, I bought the blow dryer brush and tried to flat iron my hair after. It was horrible. I should have bought this straightening brush instead
Ree Smit: It did what it was gon do. Flat irons are bomb but too much use can be damaging.
Tanya: I have similar hair texture to yours and I’ve tried other straightening brush n my results was same as yours.. it gave me a blowout look not flat iron look.. I was rocking ponytail too for a week
Kika A: Thank you for video, I know it was uploaded a couple years ago. I was wondering if you remembered if you felt the bristles of the hairbrush that was hot ? Because I would like straighten my roots out as well as I haven't applied heat to my hair in almost a decade.
Shamethia Reid: Which flat iron do you typically use for bone straight hair?
