Best curling brush ever!
 
Review Date: October 22, 2006
Reviewer: Smart Shopper, Washington, DC
I love this curling brush. It heats up super quickly, has so many settings and a turbo heat button for an extra shot of heat on hard to curl areas. I use it in the morning to straighten out kinks from sleeping, straighten and smooth my hair, flip it under or out, or add some waves. It has a nice long cord, too. I think a brush is less damaging than a curling iron because there's no clamp and you don't hold it in the same place as long. If you haven't tried a brush, this is the one to try. Note that this is a brush that heats up, NOT a brush that blows hot air - it's for use on dry hair only.

Review Date: October 29, 2007
Reviewer: C. Fulton, NY
So, I am a consumer that likes to read reviews before I buy things, especially off the internet. I came across the many positve reviews on this product and since I was looking specifically for a heated hair brush to replace my **Air** heated curling brush/hair dryer I decided that I'd get this model. After a week of owning this I am sooo happy I bought it!It heats up super fast compaired to any reguler curling iron I've tried. The ease that comes from styling my hair VS. trying to blow dry/curl at the same time saves me time overall too which is important for any lady that wants to look good quick. My hair has a more finished smooth look to it VS. the air heated brush which leaves my hair a bit frizzy and not a lot of curl at all. Best of all, if I let my normally fairly straight hair air dry completly this product by itself smooths out the waves and leaves me with great soft curls that last. Shipping was quick, this product delivers desired results, the price is right on and I am even thinking about getting one of these as a gift for my mom. I recommend this highly to anyone that wants that extra dazzle for their hair.
Just what I was looking for!

Reviewer: D. Wilt,
After a lot of searching, I finally found the product I had been wanting. The brush holds in the many layers of my shoulder-length hair, and with the larger diameter, it results in soft curls and curves. It heats up quickly, plus it has a plastic cap on the end so I don't burn my fingers. I highly recommend this hot brush for those with longer hair that don't want tight curls.
Another fantastic product.

Reviewer: Juliane Porter, INDIANAPOLIS
I really enjoy this curling iron. My hair type is very curley and it takes for ever to straighten. This Conair brush is amaizing and I am so pleased I have finally found something that allows me to go either way. Making this purchase you will not go wrong! Thanks CONAIR!
Perfect for big curls!
 
Review Date: January 2, 2008
Reviewer: Summergirl711, Indianapolis, IN
After looking for larger curling brushes in retail stores, I almost
gave up my search! They are just not out there anymore, big or small.
Amazon.com never disappoints me; they have them in every shape and size.
This Conair BC86RCS 1 1/4" is the best! I have very fine shoulder length hair that has some natural wave. This curling brush is wonderful because it gets very hot; (unlike some curling brushes)the heat is adjustable and it has a large knob on the end to hold on to. The 1 1/4" is a great size for my hair...not too big; it gives a great wave and curl; and not too small to get tangled in my fine hair. I'm ordering another one for my travel bag!
Love this product!

Reviewer: sling f, .
I have curly hair that hangs in ringlets. I am too lazy to blow dry. This product is so awesome! You can just air dry your hair, or even wake up in the morning, go plug this in, and within 60 seconds, begin using it. Just brush your hair with it, and it makes the curls disappear. They just melt. So easy to use.

Reviewer: RFP, Arlington, Texas, USA
I've bought a hot brush very similar to this before and wore the old one out because I use it every day. I like the size of the barrel and I like that you can set the temperature to suite your needs. It's dual voltage, which is perfect for travel and the auto shut off is great. You never have to worry whether you forgot to turn it off in the morning. Hope it's still available when I wear this one out.
Welcome Back!

I have my old friend back! I had an earlier version of the same curling brush. When it broke (no fault of the product) I couldn't find a replacement - until just recently! Just as great as I remembered! (Wouldn't mind a 1" version ... are you listening Conair?)
So Glad I Found This

Reviewer: D. Davis, New York, NY
This is the greatest curling brush. It gets hot enough to do the job and it is the perfect size barrel for a little longer hair. I was lost when this 1 1/4" barrel was not to be found anywhere unitl I found it on Amazon. I have had 2 of these in the past and each lasted about 5yrs of daily use and overseas travel before and they died. I was so happy to find this that I ordered 2!!
Best ever

I have two left hands when it comes to fixing my hair. This curling iron is so easy to use and works great. I have had very short hair for years because I just couldn't manage long hair. I now have shoulder length hair now and with this hot brush it is a piece of cake for me...
Don't look any further! This is the one!

I have frizzy hair and this makes it smooth and silky! I have had this over 2 years and still going strong! Think of all the money you waste on products, when this and a little smoothing serum is all you need!
The best hair implement I've ever used!
 
Review Date: January 21, 2009
Reviewer: Anne G. Milewski, Motor City, MI, USA
This is an awesome product! I'm not a person who likes to spend a lot of time fixing my hair and this product removes my frizzies and gives a great bouncy curl or wave instantly. I hardly spend any time fixing my hair (I have long, layered hair) and this has been a godsend! Styling is a snap! Gone is sandwiching my hair between two hot plates of an iron and the curling the end. All I do is slide the brush through my hair and gently curl the ends and viola! I look great! My whole attitude has changed from this great product! Thanks for all the positive feedback--I wouldn't have bought it unless people recommended it...
Perfect size
 
Review Date: August 9, 2007
Reviewer: C. McKoy,
I love this curling brush! It is the perfect size for me. I have long hair and this brush basically smooths it out and gives it just the right amount of curl on the ends. This is actually my 2nd one. My sister came to visit from out of town and took my 1st one home with her. I plan to order another to have as a spare when I finally wear this one out.
Wife's Favorite Styling Brush
 
Review Date: January 13, 2008
Reviewer: J. Smith, Michigan
My wife's old Conair styling brush broke, but she liked it so well that she wanted to get another but could not find the same model anywhere. After looking in all the stores in our area she bought something similar, but did not like it as well as her old Conair; she was glad to get it for Christmas. If you are looking for a good curling brush, save time and gas looking and buy this one.
Happy Customer
 
Review Date: April 21, 2009
Reviewer: C. Thornhill, MS
I give this product a 5-star rating. It heats up very quickly and easily adjusts to higher or lower heat settings as per my hair's needs. My hair tends to be thin and wispy, so the bristle features make it easy to wrap and hold each section when styling. The bristles also help to keep the barrel away from my scalp and skin so I do not get burns. As I could not locate a 1-1/4 inch curling-iron with the brush in any local stores, I am thankful to have acquired it online.
I love it!

Replaces a much older model. Easy to use. Like the different heat settings and the speed of heating. Seems to be less damaging to my hair than the hot air brush which I also have. Curl last longer than hot air brush.

The Curling Brush that Works and doesn't Damage Hair
 
Review Date: April 28, 2008
Reviewer: Jean Montague, Maryland
I have used this curling brush for years. Then, several years ago, I went to purchase a new one in the store where I always bought them, and found they were no longer for sale there. I drove to numerous stores - I searched EVERYWHERE - they are not available in stores now. I remember visiting the conair website after not being able to find them and ordering several of the curling irons. Then, after a few years, when I went back to Conair to order more, they were sold out as well! I was out of luck. Finding them through you was a blessing. This is the only iron that provides body to my hair without damaging it with too much heat. Thank you so much!
PLEASE MAKE THIS BRUSH AGAIN!!!!
 
Review Date: January 19, 2009
Reviewer: Bj Overpeck, Chicago, IL USA
I love this curling iron brush and was really upset when mine broke. I went everywhere looking for a replacement and found that they no longer make it. Sure, you can find 3/4 inch and 1 inch barrels, but not the 1 1/4 inch. I found this on Amazon and bought two! I highly recommend this, but hope after the recommendation that I can still find it somewhere if I need to.
Great Basic Hair Product
 
Review Date: May 31, 2009
Reviewer: A. M. Lyden, Orlando
I replaced this curling brush with the same model because I provides variable heat settings along with a brush and not a smooth surface. The brush helps to grab and hold on to my hair as I wind my hair around the iron. I used my first curling brush everyday for two years and feel that I got my money's worth from it! I definitely recommend this product!

this product works great. It heats up quickly, and grips the hair well with the bristles. Also it does not shut off while using it like some of the other styling brushes. the only negative is that it could have a longer cord.

Review Date: January 22, 2009
Reviewer: Linda B, Raleigh NC
I ordered this brush in the 1 1/4 inch size, and soon after I also sent for the 3/4 inch one. These are the best curling brushes I have ever had, and I have had a lot of them over the years.

They heat up in a minute or less and stay hot during use. The variable heat control works great. I have found the "instant on" type of brush to be fairly short-lived, but since these come with a two-year warranty, I am expecting more from them.

Other reviewers have noted that you can get a few strands of hair caught between the handle and the barrel (on the larger brush), and I have had this happen but it has not been a significant issue for me.

I definitely recommend these.
Great curling brush!!
 
Review Date: January 27, 2009
Reviewer: J. Rothkopf, Hayesville, NC
Had an earlier model of this curling brush that I finally had to replace after 10+ years - only because the buttons had been pushed so many times over the years that they wore out. It would still work with persistance in clicking the buttons but I could not depend upon how many times it might take. I have long hair and just like a little smoother look with the ends curled under. It works great also for those little odd kinks that sometimes show up in the morning. I HAD to get another one and was glad to find it on Amazon.
The best!

The conair 1.25 Hot Brush curls and straightens my hair and the bristles keep the hot iron away from my skin, thus virtually eliminating burns. I was always burning my forehead with a conventional iron so this is really a big improvement.

Reviewer: Elizabeth A. Rogers, Renton, WA
My hair is chin-length and fine in texture, so the results from this brush are not quite as good as I had hoped for. The waves produced by the brush do not hold as well as they could. However, it's more the fault of my hair type than a shortcoming of the product. It would work great for longer and/or thicker hair.

Review Date: December 31, 2008
Reviewer: Wandina, New Rochelle, NY
I was looking for a hot curling iron and bought this because of the great reviews. I love the way my hair looks when I just come out of the salon and this hot brush comes really close to giving me that look. It's great because it has a plastic tip that you can hold onto to help with the curling without burning yourself. You can also get pretty close to the scalp to tame those little fly-away hairs without burning your face or scalp as well. My only peeves were that it does not get as hot as I'd like it to and my hair is not as smooth as I thought it would be, it leaves my hair kinda frizzy at first. It gives really nice soft curls though. I recommend it
Great Curling Iron and it was hard to find FINALLY!!

Reviewer: Law Girl, Pembroke, MA USA
I broke my other large barreled brush iron and was having a really hard time finding one. It seems like all they carry in the stores are the skinny ones. I love this thing! It heats up faster and hotter than my old one and it's easy to set and use.

The only complaint I have is I wish the cord were a little longer, but other than that it's perfect.

When I ordered this, I thought it was a curling brush. When I tried it out the first time, I was disappointed. However, as I have used on my dry hair, I found that it helps to smooth my hair and give it some nice curls. It heats up quickly and creates a more naturally looking do that my other curling iron. I think that the price is quite reasonable for what this styling tool can do.

Review Date: October 3, 2009
Reviewer: Mrs. H,
I'll have to say I really like this brush! I honestly tried the InStyler before and wasn't as easy to use as this brush. I have a long, straight and thick hair. What I like about it is that it heats up fast, it has different heat settings ( I usually use it on 20), and it doesn't pull my hair. If I just washed my hair I blow dry it a little bit and then use the brush to curl my ends. Because my hair is straight I have to use a little hair spray to make it last longer. I read before someone had trouble with tangling?! This is my first hot hair brush and I have no experience with it and no problem! If it does happen to tangle a little I haven't have any problems unrolling it! So with this brush you can make some waves, loose curls and straighten your hair (not like a flat iron though)! Another great thing the cord is long enough and doesn't tangle either and it doesn't burn your hair.

One thing I don't like it doesn't leave your hair nice and smooth, so it makes your hair look a little freeze. What I usually do is I just put on any hair product first like leave-in conditioner and in my case a little hair spray on the bottom of my hair. So if you want something to give volume to your hair this is your brush!
I like it
 
Review Date: March 25, 2009
Reviewer: P. Andrada, Warsaw, IN
I really like this hot brush, I think it is useful. It is VERY easy to use and it works well. I've always been used to blow dryer my hair with a round brush to make it straight... I have thick, curly dry hair that needs some action to looks good! I can easily do my hair with this brush and be ok, but if I wanna a better look I still need to do my old ritual. When I style my hair with a blow dryer and round brush it keeps good for 2-3 days. But with this hot brush I have to model it every day.
Good, but Not Best
 
Review Date: March 16, 2010
Reviewer: Colorado Cook, Denver, Colorado
This brush works as advertised, but I find it less satisfactory than either a curling iron or a hot air brush. There is no curl release as on a hot air brush, and each curl much be completely un-wound separately. For me, it's harder to keep the hair in place with this than with a regular curling iron. Just personal preferences, but this would be my third choice of the types of hair curlers available.

Review Date: March 19, 2009
Reviewer: Sharon D. Walters,
My hair is shoulder length and got really tangled with this hot brush. I wish is had some kind of release button. I turned on the turbo because normally my hair is difficult to curl. I should have tested it first because it senged a portion of my hair. Didn't realized how hot this brush would get, so be careful! I have resulted back to my nano flat irons, they make my hair much smoother. However, I will continue to play with this brush from time-to-time and perhaps, I will become better at using it.

I DONT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

i have been a professional stylists for many, many years. "time is money" and i dont want to spend my time nor my money on a product that is less than adequit for the job. this iron was NOT hot enough to do the job...fine hair, course hair, it didnt matter. i have a great curling brush that is perfect for the job, however, the bristles have "cooked" over the years and i havent been able to find the same product again. just going to have to keep looking but i can assure you that i wont order from the west coast again. it cost me $9.70 to return it and the iron was only $22.57.
