As a curly gal, I’ve tried hundreds of hair tools to straighten my hair. Whether it was a hot air brush or a huge hair dryer that looked like a vacuum, I’m always looking for a tool that can stretch out my strands in half the time. It’s no easy task, but it looks like the Wavytalk Heatwave Pro Thermal Brush ($76; $70) is up for the challenge. People rave about how well the viral tool can create a voluminous (or sleek) blowout right at home, so I was curious to put it to the test. Here’s how it holds up.
