- Have you ever wondered if hair straightening brushes really work? Also, will it really straighten my hair perfectly in half the time? Well, I decided to try two of them, one top-line brand and another more affordable. I then compared both to my regular flat iron.

We've shown you so many hair braiding tutorials on our channel, but haven't shown many tutorials reviewing products that use heat on your hair.
I've seen a few impressive viral tutorials online where the girl uses a similar brush on her curly hair and you see an IMMEDIATE silky-straight strand of hair as a result. I have to admit that the videos look impressive!
For this review, I personally bought following two straightening brushes to review in this video:
* Amika "Polished Perfection" Straightening Brush - $129.99
rstyle.me/n/cwg...
* InStyler "Straight Up" Ceramic Straightening Brush - $59.99
rstyle.me/n/cwg...
I tested one brush on a few sections of hair on one side of my head, and the other brush on the other side of my head. I then show you the comparison. I then took my favorite of the two brushes, and then finished off the one side with it and used my own personal flat iron hair straightener on the other side, and give you another comparison
Did these brushes work? If so, which of the two brushes was better and were they worth the money? Lastly, how does the best brush compare to my regular flat iron for straightening hair? Click to see!

Hi Mindy, I want to say hello please.
hola Mindy, te quiero salúdame por favor.
Could you try the infiniti pro by Conair??
Could y'all try the New Pro Magic Automatic Hair Curler? Thanks!! XO!
I subscribed to all your channels including Brooklyn and Bailey Kamris channel uniland and this one I love you guys from your biggest fan
Could I get a reply it's been a really hard day for me and it would really cheer me up
I got a hair straightening brush last year for Christmas and it was about $30 or $40 and it works amazinggg. Not as well as a regular straightener, but it makes straightening my thick, long hair really quick
What brand is it?
Kaylin L I think it is the simply straight professional straightening brush
I have very thick and long hair, and have a device like the instyler. I can do my whole head in about 6 to 8 "chunks" which takes minutes. If I use a regular hair straightener it takes at least half an hour or so, so that makes a real difference. I love it! 😀
I love Rylan's new hair! 😀
You guys literally read my mind! I was thinking they should test it with a real straightener and then you said it right after I thought it! I love you guys!
Great minds think alike! Love you! 💋's -Mindy
I love my straightening brush, but I really only use it to tame my hair when I air dry it. I almost use it like a traditional brush, but a little slower. I brush the underside and then the outside and at the ends I have a little technique I use to sort of curl under the ends. I use it as my quick go-to. But mine was only about $35, so well worth the cheap price tag!
What brand do you have? That’s exactly what I’d do.
Mindy you look like Brooklyn in this video!
Mackenzie Frecloud or does Brooklyn look like her?
Mackenzie Frecloud I find you everywhere
devika menon lol
Mackenzie Frecloud
Mackenzie Frecloud yasss she really dies
you should try it on Paisley's hair as her hair is really textured #powerhour
I’ve always wanted to try this brush 😃
Grace you should get one it’s awesome
Grace yea
Grace same
Me 2(too)😅😅😃😃😃
A waste of money if you are trying to get a silky result.
I think it depends on what type of hair you have for the instyler. I got one for Christmas 2 years ago now and I love mine. I have just wavy hair though.
Love your videos! You should try this on Paisleys hair coz I've got her hair texture as well. I think both of the straightening brushes work perfectly. I think to get silky smooth hair I recommend putting oil in your hair overnight
I got one of these brushes at Walgreens for $20, and I absolutely love it!! I have VERY curly and VERY thick hair and although it doesn’t work in one stroke, it definitely works. I set it to 450 degrees and it works so well to straighten my roots. The heating elements are down in the brush, so if you touch it to your head you won’t get burned! I absolutely love it for anti- frizz as well👍🏼
This brush is amazing. I have it and I love it
zafiro velazquez same i use mine all the time
I use it all the time I used it today
zafiro velazquez which one?
Which one..?
did the brush damage the hair
I got a Remington straightening brush from Target and I love it! I find that it's much easier to use if you face the brush the opposite way with the "bristles" toward your head. I love that I never get lines in my head and I feel like I can straighten my hair in so much less time!
It makes me sooo happy that u guys don't change the way u film ur hair videos ! Really gives me the old UA-cam vibes!😊😜
I recently purchased the Amika and I have to say that it considerably cut down the time spent with a hair straightener. Usually I take smaller sections with the hair straightener for a really shiny straight look. I have hair for like two people. Very course, thick and wavy and I love the fact that I was able to get my hair looking pretty decent in under 40 minutes vs the 2-3 hours I usually spend with a hair straightener. Instead of waiting until an afternoon to do my hair I straightened my hair before I entered work at 8 am. Amika hair brush is perfect for those days you need a quick fix.
I dont do sections when using this straightening brush. I just brush my hair with normal brush first,and then go over with the straightening brush. I have very thick hair, and it works great.
Uny Just A Girl same and I don’t have thin hair either, I have think hair and the brush I have straightens well
Hair straightening brushes are my life because I don't like using flat irons personally. I *LOVE* my Amika one and I always use it when I want to straighten my hair (after I use The Wizard or Olaplex #6/#7 for protection). I think it depends on your personal preferences and I do go over it a couple times after I straighten it. However, with the brush, I've noticed my hair looks better the 2nd day rather than the first day.
i love fab or fail videos!
same there are pretty cool
i see you ev-
I have a different hair straightening brush, but I love it. It heats up so fast, is easy to use and straightens my hair better than anything I’ve tried before. I can’t remember the brand but I love it so much 👍😍💞
I’d love to see you test out the Dyson hairdryer!
I've been watching you guys since 2009, and you guys helped realize my dream of becoming a hairstylist! Much love! (great video btw:))
I love your videos, especially your Behind The Braids series!!! I got so excited when I saw this. 😂😂
I have the amika brush and I love it! I have very frizzy thick curly wavy hair. Normally with a flat iron it takes me 20 minutes but with the brush I’m done in 10. The texture of my hair is smooth and soft every time. I don’t get that result with a flat iron. I also feel like there is less damage since it’s not as direct heat you would get with a flat iron. I won’t be throwing a way my flat iron just yet, but the amika brush has become the tool I reach for.
I have the Instyler and I love it! Also, did I make it in time for Power Hour? Love you guys!! ❤️
YES YOU MADE IT TO #POWERHOUR! Love you 💋's -Mindy
They are good for a quick taming of freshly washed hair with less heat. Use a narrow kind for roots, shorter hair, and curling ends.
Straighteners are better then straightening brushes by long shot!!!! I have tried both and the normals straightener works a lot better on my friend who has crazy curly hair than the brush
I've tried the straightening brush on my hair and I feel like it works for taming weird cowlicks and to refresh second or third day hair, like when you sweat or sleep on it and it gets frizzy or takes on weird shapes, especially if you have short hair like I do now, I found that now that my hair is short I can still use it to help shape it how I want it. I should also point out that I have naturally thick but bone straight hair.
I've was debating wether or not to get this, this was so helpful! I've subscribed to all of your families channels! Love y'all
I’ve always wanted to try this type of straighter as I felt it would be soo much easier to quickly straighten my hair. After watching this video however I’ve realised that those ads never give you a true demonstration. In other you have saved me from wasting my money on one. So THANK YOU!!!!!😘
I am so GLAD you put this video up ! I have been contemplating getting one for the longest time but they were so expensive and i wasn’t sure if they would be that great, but now i know what works best !
Hi cgh
I have one of those straightner and i think 🤔 they’re really nice
Fab or Fail is honestly one of my favorite series! (You know, other than behind the braids and hairstyles.) ❤️❤️❤️
I use a hair straightening brush and absolutely love it. I use Head Candy brand, and it cuts my time in half in the morning. My hair is left feeling straight, and silky and works on all hair types
I tried this, and it didn't work. Keep up the good work, Mindy! I love you! #powerhour
Sierra Silverman it works for me and my hair is naturally super curly and silky
I bought 1 as well and it didn't work...
Yea but it was a diff brand too
Sierra Silverman what brand was it?
I dont remember, my mom got it for me at Walmart a few years ago
when i use hair straightener, i don't mind the roots because they just bring some volume. but i definitely want my ends to be straight. great video mindy!
I have one just for $20 and it works great.
It really depends on your hair type. I have super curly hair and the brush really only turns it into loose waves but if you have naturally wavy it would probably turn out pretty straight
I have one of those, and they are awesome!! Plus you know they're heavy duty when they can straighten my hair.😋😂🤣
I bought mine on amazon, it came with a carrier and a glove to hold hair when it’s hot. Works amazing and was $35.00!!!
You're so good at doing hair I love watching your hairstyles
Abby H I agree
Plz never stop doing the fab or fail vids they are so enjoyable to watch
I have one and it really does work I love it. Great video. I would say it is a fab.
I have the 25 dollar version of this product so similar to the cheaper one Mindy used and I saw the same results. It left my long curly hair looking blow dried and still puffy, not pin straight. And it did hurt a little bit since we all might know how tough it is to get a brush through curly hair! The only perk I noticed is it does get out those annoying hard to reach curls on the back of my head though I always run a straightener through afterwards to get pin straight effect. Now I have short hair and I don't straighten it anymore but I'm gonna assume it's easier to use on short hair since there's less pull
You guys are literally one of the best family’s!❤️
Love you sooo sooo much ! I have natural curly hair and I really wanted to see if this works thank you
I am obsessed with my hair straightening brush and it was $40
I recommend the Revlon Dryer & Styler for Paisley's hair especially if she's natural - I got it for my birthday recently and though I don't use heat much I love it so far. Not as a complete straightener as I haven't tried that but as a blowout tool or just brushing it after adding moisturuser
Mindy,
Do u recommend a good hair straightner. Like the one you own
Thanks I love your hair videos
I have this brush as well. I am 12 and have very very thick hair and it’s very hard to straighten. This brush has worked very well on my hair and I love it!! I use it most days and I only takes me about 30 minutes to use this compared to like 45 minutes with a normal straightener.
I love your videos,love your hairstyles,tried countless!❤❤
I use a conair straightening brush. I have thin hair that has a slight wave. I use Moroccan oil when my hair is wet and then dry it and then run the brush through. I actually really like it, but I can see how it wouldn't work for other hair types
I have 2 straight if brushes and both work great! One of them is also a low dryer and personally I think that one works best
U should try the stamp on eyebrows btw ilysm!!
What is the regular hair straightener you use? I have thick and curly hair and could really use a nice one that straightens my hair as straight as yours is!!
I have a straightening hairbrush and I love it!
Great video. I saw another where the reviewer said that the brush was great to fix your already-straightened hair the next day or if you were working out. But from blow-dry, she said she would still use her hair straightener. I think that analogy suitably fits your video too. I have short hair, so it's takes me 5 mins to straighten any kinks in my hair with my straightener. Thanks.
Wow!! I love you guys so much my favorite family on UA-cam you guys are amazing ❤️❤️💝💝💝💝❤️❤️💝💝😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
ydu
I remember making my mama watch your videos when I was 12(year 2012) and this is the time I've thought again about ur page and Mom u haven't aged!
Maybe it is a better option for people with thin hair
Kayla Stilp yeah. I have super thick hair
I do have one. And it's great, it makes the hair look shiny. I think it differs from person to person.but overall a regular straighter is better
Whats the hair straightener kind or name
Zahra the first is the Amita polishes perfection straightening brush ($129.99)
The second is the IN STYLER straight up ceramic straightening brush ($59.99)
Quincy no i mean the actual straightener she used not the brushes
I was wondering the same thing!
Radad Moubarik at 8:42 i want to know the brand of this straightener
I honestly love the fact that you don’t ever say the “cheap item” because that less expensive item might be expensive for some people :-) keep up the great videos!
I have been wanting to buy this thanks for your input
I’ve always wanted to see if this thing worked and I’m so glad you guys tested it first!
Super early! Love y’all! Can i ask if y’all pls keep me in your prayers? I’m going through a very hard time right now, and it would mean everything to me if y’all could! I love y’all!♥️♥️ God is so good!
Yes! Of course! You are definitely in our family's prayers! Love you! 💋's -Mindy
Cute Girls Hairstyles thank you so so much, Mama Mindy!
Of course! We gotcha!
yes of course i'll pray evryday ❤️❤️❤️
I would have liked to see the product used as an actual brush like intended. I know it would be hard to get it close enough to the heating plate but it is advertised to be used as a brush. But with the way you did it it would never have any competition with a regular flat iron because it would take just as much time to do it the way you were by grabbing a section and going underneath. It would have been cool to see how well it did just brushing your hair slowly. But still a great and informative video!
it doesnt work on my hair 😐😐😐 already bought it
I have one and love it! I have pretty thin, yet wavy hair that when I use a traditional straightener i lose all the body in my hair. My thin hair does not look good super straight, it’s just flat and lifeless haha. But the hair brush straightener is a nice balance. Calms and straightens the waves but leaves my hair with a nice volume.
Lol. Definitely fail. Especially if you can’t just brush your hair. It’s basically a more difficult straightener.
i have the white and purple brush , and i have very thick, curly, and wavy hair , and the brush actually works really well for me! 💕💕
Hi cgh! I absolutely love all of your families channels! If you see this, can you tell Kamri I have the EXACT same Birthday as her? Xoxo!
Thank you so much for this honest review.I was thinking of buying a straightening brush to save my time on straightening my hair but its clear to me now that those brushes does straighten your hair but has a coarse or harsh texture, which is totally not I was looking for. I think I'm just going to get a regular quality straightener.
I love your fab or fails! it saves me so much money! XD
I tried a different brand that you, and basically had the same takeaway. I think we all have the dream of being able to run a brush through our hair quickly and have it be straight...but the reality is that the process with these brushes is slower and more painstaking for a lesser result. My flat iron is faster and has better results.
I love Fab or Fail! Great video.
I love the fact that you are never a push-over in your fab or fails and if you think that something fails - you are *Not* afraid to say so!!!
You should do fab or fail Friday
Can you do a *curling wand* vs a *curling iron* , and which one you prefer? Thank you! 💋
OMG! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH MINDY! I LOVE YOU!!!😍😍😍😍
LOVE YOU TOO 💋's -Mindy
I have the brush that is less expensive and it’s really good for if you just need to touch your hair up! It’s awesome😃
I love your channel and your kids are so pretty
I think your right side looks way silkier and not as ratchet. I love your UA-cam Chanel!❤️
What hair straightener do you use? It did the best for you so if you could tell me what is your favourite hair straightener that would be wonderful!
Olivia & Simone that's ghd
I have the instyler and I LOVE it! My hair is supper thin, and I have tried many straighteners and that one is my favorite! ❤️💕 Your hair does look a little bit oily so that could be a factor. I usually wash mine dry it then use it! Just what I do! My hair is usually very soft with the instyler! 💕❤️ Love you Mindy!
So happy to see your videos again😍 like yeeaaahhh
Come to Russia🇷🇺💕
U should compare the wand curler to the regular curling iron on thick hair!! Plz!! I love you Mindy! Keep doing what you're doing!!! ❤️
I love you so much!! Keep up the great work!!
I also have a straightener brush and it didn’t work as well as my family thought it would. I love your channel A Lot!!!💖
I subscribed to uniland and I have been loving it
Could you do a heatless and no braid kids hair styles video please?
I have tried one!!! #powerhour
I got the ConAir straightening hairbrush for Christmas!!! It works really well on my hair!!!! It was about $60
I LOVE YOU GUYS
Instyler makes a straightening brush called the Glossie. Looks like the one that you tested, but waaaaay better!!
My nan did it on me it worked
I have one of these and I don't use it as much as I used to just because its a hassle to find a place to put it in my current bathroom but I liked it for days that I didn't necessarily need my hair to be straight straight but sometimes I get weird bumps because with my hair being ombre right now, the top tends to curl more than the ends and so I get this weird texture if I shower at night and just put a little of the not your mother's smooth moves cream in. so this sort of helps to tame my roots and it's supposedly better for your hair than a normal straightener because it's not being crushed between metal plates. .
love you guys xx
I did the same thing. I’m a hairstylist. I bought the Paul Mitchell brush. It was expensive and the results were not pleasing. However, I bought a glossie and I think it’s made by insyler. The difference it had a clip and you can use it w/o the clip or you can open the clip. Here is what the advantage is in conclusion. You know how flat irons can make your hair flat at the root area. The glossie brush did not make my hair flat and using the clip it worked well. If that’s what you are trying to achieve. If you have curly hair at the root and you want that straight I would just use a regular flat iron. I just compared the plain Paul Mitchell without a clip. My wholesale cost was $100.00
Glossie was 79.99 on amazon and 59.99 on QVC.
I subscribed to UniLand!!Im subscribed to Brooklyn and Bailey and CuteGirlHairstyles and Kamri Noel!!!😘😘Love yall!!
Scarlett Scarlett hate u
I have really curly hair and I use a straightening hairbrush then use a flat iron and quickly go over the top layer of hair
personally, i think it is quite inconvenient but using the brush first does get my hair to be wavy wihich makes it easier to use a straightener
