My hair is thinning due to medications I am on--my hairdresser recently gave me layers and I was looking for an air brush with a smaller barrel.  I read the reviews on this air brush and decided I would go with this brand--one I haven't tried before.  I was afraid the smaller barrel might be too small, but to my surprise and delight, it is perfect and gives me such beautiful curls and is so easy to use.  It is definitely tangle free and dries my hair quickly and easily.  Love not having to bother with a round brush and dryer.  This just makes drying my hair such a breeze.  It is lightweight and does not come in a clam shell.  I let my hair air dry a while and then use the low setting and curling option.  Great product for me and I would recommend it.
