- If you've been curious about
these hair straightening brushes
and you wanna see how one works,
keep watching this video,
'cause we're gonna test it on this mop today!
Hello everybody, and welcome back to my channel,
my name is Thomas is you're brand new here
and style and hair related videos every single week.
So if that's your kind of thing, make sure you hit
the subscribe button and visit me every single Monday.
Welcome to today's video where I'm gonna be testing
out the flow ceramic styling brush from Vanity Planet.
I've done a couple of videos with Vanity Planet before
actually, I've tried out their teeth whitening kit
which was awesome, I've also tried out their spin brush
which was even more awesome and then now today
I'm gonna be looking at their straightening brush.
You guys might have seen ceramic brushes
or straightening brushes as they're called,
around on the internet lately.
They've been craze, and I dunno, they just really
caught my attention, I've been seeing lots of videos
of them around on the internet and I thought,
it's my turn to try one.
And I've done lots of other straightening videos
before as well, so I thought, hey, this is just
another way to straighten your hair.
I was really intrigued because if I could just brush
my hair straight, could you imagine how much
time that would save doing all of this?
That's what I thought too.
There is certain specs about this one in particular
that I liked other than other ones that I saw
on the market, Vanity Planet didn't actually contact me
this time, I contacted them and I said
hey, can I try out your brush?
And they said sure, so they've sent it over,
and today we're gonna try it out.
If you guys are interested in grabbing one of these as well,
Vanity Planet, 'cause we've worked together before,
there will be a link in the description box below
with a discount code that will get you 50% off
this bad boy, so yeah, enjoy.
I am also going to covering product specs
and all the cool things about this so if you're keen
for that, keep watching from here, if not,
go to this section of the video and you can watch me
straighten my hair.
So first up, I thought we'd cover a couple of the points
as to why I even wanted to go with the Vanity Planet one,
I did have lots of choices,
and yeah, I'm just gonna read them out to ya.
It's great for reducing the amount of time required
in straightening hair, perfect,
for wavy and frizzy hair types,
yes that's us, tick, we're definitely qualified for this.
Anti-static ceramic bristles straighten and smooth
your hair as you brush, perfect.
It's got advanced ionic technology
combined with the ceramic bristles and brush plate
to deliver a straight and shiny styles
without damaging your hair, yes that's perfect.
It's got digital heat controls that go from 170 to 370
and ensure that you have the perfect heat setting
for your hair type, so depending on how crazy your hair is
you can actually adjust it from 170 to 370.
It's lightweight, compact, convenient for travel.
It's got an ergonomic shape with a slip-free
thumb grip and it's also got a 360 tangle swivel cord
so you can like kind of move your arms around
and it doesn't get all tangled up, which is perfect.
Another cool thing to note about this is
most heating appliances like blow dryers,
beard trimmers, hair straighteners,
and even these brushes, they'll have a certain voltage
for the country that you're in.
Now this brush has been sent to me from either
Canada or America, judging by this plug,
I remember these plugs when I was in Canada.
And usually, North America will run on 110 wattage, right,
and then over here in Australia, we actually run
on a higher voltage and it's like 240 voltage.
But this actually covers the entire range,
so it goes from 110 to 240, you can see it right there.
Which means I'm actually able to plug this into
a normal adapter like that that doesn't have a converter
and I won't burn my hair off.
You've probably seen a lot of videos where people like
plug their straightener into the wall
then they start doing their hair and all of a sudden
their hair comes out because the heat,
well the wattage that was going through the appliance
was too hot and it actually burns their hair off.
So, judging by this I can stress less
and just know that I can use the adapter
and it won't burn my hair off.
So yeah, that's a really good selling point as well,
so anybody in Australia, anybody in Southeast Asia,
you'll be able to grab this brush as well
and use it without needing to worry.
That's a bonus.
There's a couple of other notes about this as well,
these aren't a flat iron, they emit heat
from the plates instead of clamping down
like a usual hair straightener would,
so it's a little bit unreasonable to expect
a pin straight look like you would get
with a hair straightener, but from what I can see,
it's gonna be really, really cool.
And overall, I'm pretty sure it's designed
to give you like a natural straight look in minutes.
So it can make everything quicker,
it's all about efficiency these days, you know?
Now, let's get into hair straightening, shall we?
What I've done previously to filming this video,
I've actually already applied all of my pre-straightening
products, so I use a straightening balm,
a leave-in cream and a heat protector.
Because I've got a lot to cover in this video today,
I've decided to do them earlier and if you are interested
in all the products I used to protect my hair
while straightening, I'm gonna leave card
just up there so you can go and check that out as well.
It does also say with this product as well,
that people with really curly hair, AKA me,
are better off sectioning their hair to straighten it out
rather than just going straight at it with like
a normal brush.
That's better for wavy haired people like me.
So what we're gonna do, is we're gonna do our sections
like this, chuck some ibis clips in.
Can still smell the Sebastian Trilliant Heat Protector
in my hair, it smells so good, I love it.
Ahhhhh.
Okay, let's turn 'er on.
Okay, we've got a blue screen right there.
Okay, so when I've turned it on, it said 170 degrees
Fahrenheit, so 170 degrees Fahrenheit I think equals
like 76 degrees celsius, and then it pumps right up
I think the max, it said 370 on here but
it actually goes to 400 Fahrenheit.
So and 400 Fahrenheit, I've just checked is
about 204 degrees celsius.
So she gonna get hot, it's heating up right now,
and like I'm just touching that, doesn't seem
too hot at all, it's actually quite safe.
I think these bristles are also designed
so they don't burn people.
Let's have a go.
Oh, this is exciting.
Nice.
Wow, look at that.
That's actually pretty cool.
Okay, let's try more.
Kinda gotta get used to this thing.
Whoa, that actually did it really quick, look at that.
It's like giving me a blow out,
it's quite groovy.
What!?
That is actually amazing.
Whoa, okay, cool.
Alright, there's the difference right there.
This on wavy hair would be, literally,
like a pin straight look.
Look what that's already done to my hair there,
that's insane.
Okay, now let's get the other side.
It actually makes really cool waves, holy hell.
Stop being so fantastic.
I'm having fun with this, this is cool.
Alright, so I've just done this first little section
down here and I wanna show you a close up, look at that.
That has done a really, really good job
of my hair in just like a couple of minutes.
That was frickin insane.
So far, so good.
And actually, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put
this on speed up and I'm gonna start doing the rest
of my hair and then we'll come back and we'll have a look
at the final result, because wow, this is cool.
(upbeat piano music)
Alright, holy smokes, so that is my hair
completely straightened in literally 20 minutes.
I started this video at 4 o'clock
and it's now 4:20.
That is an absolute record for me,
I have never been able to, even when I had an undercut,
I was never able to straighten my hair in 20 minutes,
that's crazy.
Just by looking at it already, I can see,
i have not got that pinstripe look that
I would usually get from a straightener
but what instead what I've been given is this
it's almost like a wave, it kind of looks like
my hair is naturally wavy with this.
Overall, I'm actually dead set impressed,
this is gonna save so much time,
especially if I'm gonna be doing
a neat man bun or something like that
and I need to straighten my hair quickly
or if I wanna wear a natural wave.
I think from here, if i were to wear my hair out,
I probably would still have to put a product in it.
Thinking of using the hybrid cream clay today,
simply because that still give me flexibility
and a bit more texture, but overall I think
this is magical, I think my man bun is gonna look
really great, that was so easy to do as well.
I'm actually mind blown.
So let's put some Hybrid Cream Clay in it
and let's see how we can go with our hair.
I might put it in the ends there
'cause the ends do look a little bit poofy,
but that's I think, expected, because you can't
really expect a brush to achieve the exact same thing
that a straightener could, so I'm just gonna chuck
that in there.
Also gonna chuck a bit of Jane Carter Solution in there.
With a bit of Riot Control Oil.
Moisturise me.
The joys of having really dry hair.
Still super stoked with this straightened though,
can't believe it.
Looking like Gayle Anderson.
Okay, I'm getting a little bit obsessed with it now, sorry.
So what I've ended up doing in the end,
I just added a few different products in.
I added some Hybrid Cream Clay,
I added some Jane Carter Solution,
I used some, even some sponge wax,
and some Riot Control Oil.
Just a few things to spruce it up
and from that straighten, those products
have been able to do this.
I'm not even kidding you, I haven't even used
an actual straightener in this.
And I'm pretty surprised,
I would actually wear my hair long like this,
you guys probably haven't really seen that much either,
have you, since I've grown it out,
but, wow, it looks cool,
and I'm really loving the natural wave that it's given.
So neat, and beautiful.
So just for a moment in review,
I'm actually loving this product.
A) Because it's shortened my routine significantly,
I've gone from an hour to 20 minutes.
I managed to achieve this look with just
a bit of product and the brush,
so that's definitely a thumbs up.
The fact that it didn't burn my hair off
and it was able to connect to an Australian adapter
without any failure, that's another thumbs up from me.
And plus, being an impatient millennial in 2018
I do really like things that speed up my processes,
so this flow brush is really gonna help me with that,
especially with my man buns
and yeah, if you guys have wavy or curly hair,
you should definitely check this out.
If you have curly hair, definitely do the sections.
If you have wavy hair you're probably gonna get
a pin straight look that you would get with a straightener
because I actually can't believe it, I haven't used
a hair straightener at all today, so yeah, I'm excited.
If you guys do wanna check this out, again,
