TYMOCordless Hair Straightener Brush - Porta PRO Portable Straightening Brush for Travel, Mini Ionic Hot Comb Straightener for Women, Lightweight on-The-go, Cordless & Fast Charger Dual Power, Black

Run to buy this thing. I'm shocked at how well it works. I've used a flat iron for ages and this is so much better. I have thick, naturally wavy hair that I straighten after letting it air dry or sleeping on it. This tool straightens perfectly on one pass, whereas my flatiron takes a lot more work and effort. I think this must be more effective because of the comb shape and "bristles" that run through your hair rather than just over. That also seems to make it easier and faster to style. I also didn't have to pin up sections of my hair like I do with the flatiron. That said, the product includes two nice hair clips in case you do need them. The size of the tool is perfect and it comes with a nice zipper case. It was slightly heavier than "lightweight" but nothing that would make me take away a star. I actually hate "doing my hair", so I feel like this tool is a game changer for me.

Let me start with the packaging. The box (with a magnetic close), is an excellent presentation. Everything inside is well laid out and leaves an impression of quality. There are some smart details, like the transparent strip around the handle that gives the instructions in the event you discard the paper instructions inside. The clips are a nice touch. It feels well-made and is a great size for traveling.I have very curly thick hair. I had to section it a bit to get the teeth to glide through. My hair type is 3C/4A and it says right in the advertisement (which I didn't notice until I bought it) that I should have purchased the Corded model. However, one of the attractions for me was the ability to use this without the cord, so I'm not complaining.it powered on extremely fast, maybe 30 seconds and was hotter than I expected so I lowered the temperature from the 2nd light to the first. I started with my hair curly and it took out the curl with only 3 or 4 passes. It was a little tricker to use it as a curling wand, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. While the back of the brush doesn't get too hot, the tines do, so I'd suggest a heat glove which worked perfectly for adding curl. When curling, my hair did not get stuck in the tines when I wrapped it around the barrel - a huge plus.If I wanted to get my hair the way I like it while traveling, I would have to take my large, round blower brush AND a curling iron, so consequently I don't take either or have to pick between one or the other. This is small, compact and once charged, the added convenience to be able to use it without a cord, will be really helpful, especially on cruises. It hopefully will take the place of the two I usually use. The 4 stars is only because I haven't traveled with it yet, I'm unsure about how long the charge lasts when using it without the cord and I don't know if it will work for years or only a few months. That said, this appears to be an exciting addition to my travel accessories.Update after several uses: I'm leaving the 4 star rating, because everything I said above is true, except: I fully charged the straightener and then attempted to use it without the cord. The heat only lasted through one usage before I needed to charge it again. With my hair, I need to do all of it from start to finish not just a quick touch up, so you might get more usage than I did. That in itself, is not a deal breaker as you could charge it overnight and then use it without the cord at least once during the day. I also wanted it to curl and I found that it was difficult to produce an actual curl. Wispy waves no problem, actual curl, not so much. Wrapping hair around the brush is not that easy and you really need a heat glove to do that. The most annoying part, though, is that it's really easy to turn off the heat while you're using it. It's great that it's compact, but there's not enough room to wrap your hand around the base without turning it off constantly. I'm leaving the 4 stars because, it did smooth my hair out beautifully with just a few passes and it is small and compact. Unfortunately, though it ultimately didn't work for me and I had to return it.

The package is awesome small box with everything in a spot with magnets to keep it closed. I love the safety features( flight mode) so it won’t turn on if you accidentally push the button. I’ve touched the brush part to see if it’s hot to touch, you feel it but didn’t burn me. It’s the perfect size to fit in my purse, car and suitcase when traveling. Very easy to use, heats up very fast. First charge they say 2 hours. Works on a lot of hair styles and textures thick or thin hair to.

I like the design and the fact that it’s cordless but can also be used with a cord. I wished it worked well, given all these features. Unfortunately, it doesn’t straighten my hair effectively. It’s better than nothing, but it won’t tame your hair as you’d hope. I’ll give it a few more tries before deciding whether to keep it or return it.

I did not find that this product worked well. I used it once and then it seemed to stop working. I consider trying to troubleshoot and see if I was doing something wrong, but given the price I decided it wasn't worth it so I returned it.

It heats up really fast and has 3 different heat levels suitable for different types of hair. It is very easy to use and can be slipped in a bag easily due to its small size. I have tried using it for straightening and curling to increase the volume. The tymo porta works well for both. Would definitely recommend for anyone who loves to travel but don't want to bring a full size curling iron or straightener!

Turns off and stops working even with full charge

I like how portable it is. Wish it heats up faster and battery life lasts longer.
