Straight Hair, Don’t Care!

September 16, 2016

Do you have straight hair and you want curly hair?  Or maybe you have curly hair and you really want straight hair?  Welcome to my world.  I have very thick coarse hair that is somewhere between wavy and curly AND it can get frizzy.  Yuck!  I’ve hated my hair for my whole life.  I’m always looking for a fast and easy way to straighten my hair.  I recently put the Simply Straight Ceramic Straightening Brush to the test against my crazy hair.

*PR sample

With claims like these below, you can see why I was so interested in trying the Simply Straight:

  • Simply Straight™ is a ceramic straightening brush that provides a revolutionary way to straighten and smooth all types of hair in minutes, without flattening, frying or damaging tresses. Perfectly straightens hair fast and easy!
  • Simply Straight™ combines the power of salon heat straightening up to 450° with the gentle styling ability of a brush to make straightening hair as easy as brushing it. The unique ceramic-wrapped bristles easily detangle and lift hair at the root to evenly deliver gentle heat around every strand, for straight, healthy, shiny hair that’s manageable and loaded with volume.
  • Combining innovation with simplicity, Simply Straight™ effortlessly tames unruly curls, waves and frizz, delivering long-lasting salon-quality results in no time. Simply Straight™ has adjustable temperatures for specific hair types and heats up to the ideal temperature in seconds.
  • Simply Straight’s™ bristles are coated for safe and gentle straightening and a voluminous finish. The Simply Straight™ brush heats up fast and has an “auto shut off” feature that activates after 60 minutes of power.

This tool is a nice size and it fits comfortably in my hand.

You can see in my photo below how wavy  (and BIG) my hair is even after I used a brush and blow dryer.  I usually just go to sleep with wet hair and use this tool on my hair when I wake up in the morning.

This next photo shows me the putting finishing touches on my hair styled with the straightening brush.  I slowly pull the heated brush through my hair to ensure that all of my hair comes into contact with the heated bristles.  Because my hair is so thick I have to use the 450 degree setting to get my hair to cooperate.  My hair can easily take the heat.  Be sure to use proper products on your hair before using heat styling tools so that you don’t damage your hair.

Here’s my final hair do after using the Simply Straight™ brush on my whole head.

Verdict:  This is a tool that I will keep in my arsenal forever.  It retails for $39.95, which is a great deal.  This straightening brush is perfect for me because it can heat up to 450 degrees.  I need the higher temperatures for my coarse hair.  You can use less heat if you have thinner hair.  I basically just brush through my hair and the ionic 3D ceramic bristles do all the work to give me straight hair that’s frizz free.  My hair is straight while maintaining volume.  Best of all, the process is quick and easy and anyone can do it!

 You can purchase a Simply Straight™ ceramic straightening brush for yourself on their website.  Be sure to follow them on Facebook for styling tips and ideas HERE.

Let me know if you’ve tried the Simply Straight or if you have it on your wish list for a future purchase.

    Nice job! I have a similar one that I should pull out. I’ve found it’s good for touch ups in between shampooing for my thick, coarse hair

    We always want what we don’t have! I’ve had straight hair my entire life, and I’ve always wanted curls. My mom, has the curliest of hair, and was always envious of my hair lol. This brush straightener looks really easy to use!

    I haven’t tried this before, but had a company reach out to me and ask me to give their product a test run, only to never contact me again after claiming they would send it. I have always been interested in trying these to see how they’ll do with my curly hair.

    I have one of these straightening brushes. I ordered it from Amazon and I really like it! It is fast, easy and smooths my tresses with less stress than a flat iron.

      This is the first one I’ve tried that actually gets hot enough to straighten my hair the way I like. Amazon is the best for finding good deals on these types of products! Stacie xo
