Flat Iron Experts also known as FIE -- QT Temptress Paddle Brush (review)

As you all know, I review items for Flat Iron Experts from time to time.
If you are in the market for a great Ceramic/Ionic Styling Brush-- then look no further!

I got the opportunity to review these 2 brushes and I liked one, but didn't like the other as much.

In my humble opinion, or maybe I am just not talented in the ways of hair..
Round brushes-- they are just not for people with long hair like myself.

My daughter (and I even) have gotten all sizes round brushes (small to large, even) stuck in our long hair.
Surely I am not alone here, when I say this has permanently scared me off from all round brushes.

If you like round brushes however, then if the quality of the QT Performance Temptress Paddle Brush they sent is any clue, you will love this QT Temptress Ceramic + Ionic Thermal Round Brush - Medium. I have yet to use it because it frightens me that I might get it stuck in my hair. I am prejudiced.
Perhaps a comb would've been a better fit for me.
Here are the features of the thermal medium round brush:
Our Price: $18.99
Sale Price: $14.99
You save $4.00!
