Vidal Sasson VS432 1½ Inch Tangle-Free Hot Air Styler

My sister and I LOVE this. We both have fine, thin, straight, shoulder length hair and it works great for us, It does not tangle my hair. It gives it a nice smooth finish. It adds volume and body. It makes "curves" not curls.If I wanted a distinct curl I would use a curling iron. This is the closest result I can get to a stylist blow drying my hair with a brush. Besides, it's great for travel because you only have to pack one thing as opposed to hair dryer and curling iron. It is cool to the touch and can be immediately put away.

Don't buy this item.

I bought one when my trusty Helen of Troy look alike was starting to over heat after two years of us. I saw this on in Target and it was the identical match. It was the same wattage size shape but different color and make. I was excited because after the first use, it seemed to work the same. I then ordered two from Amazon.com . My initial VS lasted about three weeks before it started over heating and then completely dying. I opened the second one just about two weeks ago and the same symptoms: funny noise shuts off and feels very hot. I expect it to be un-usable by the end of the week. I'll open the third one and use it while I look for my trusty new Helen of Troy version. I guess I have about three weeks to make the purchase. I only use this brush for about 5 minutes a time. My hair is already dry when I wake up in the morning, I just slightly wet the ends and style.

Girls, don't be fooled by cheap imitations , and I know we're...Read more

My air brush has kicked the bucket (VS432). I have been desperately searching for a replacement but usual stores no longer carry which is where I always bought it. Found a toll free order number. I would be lost without this handy tool. Some of the models have such a fat handle with the large barrel that I cannot comfortably hold while using. I like the 1-1/2" barrel but not a huge handle. I will be buying more than one so I always have one on hand from now on. Lets me dry my hair curly or straight without damaging my hair! Works better than a hair straigtener that tends to leave no body. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
