As soon as I received it, I tried it right away. It was great. The brush is powerful enough, a bit noisy but bearable. The brush ceramic does not serve very well for me. But hey, I not accuse the product. It was already planned before my purchase as I am Asian I have very thick hair very rigid. Brush bristles are soft for my hair. For cons, the rigid pins brush works very well. It's very good. The Calor brand never disappointed me. I am very happy with my purchase.
