Does the tip really get too hot to handle? I have very short hair, so may not need to use the tip. Any suggestions? Thanks!

the tip is not hot but for me it is to short as I tend to hold onto it & my fingers often hit the iron

Nope, I haven't found that it gets too hot to handle. It gets warm but not unbearable. I have used it on both the low and medium settings. Hope that helps!

I have never used the tip but I do not think that the tip gets hot. I also have short hair and have never had any problems. I have bought several of these and am very happy with them.

I air dry my hair to pretty much dry and then use the hot air brush. It works great. I also put some kind is a conditioner or heat protector it on my hair is soon as I get out of the shower. The brush gets pretty hot. My second brush is hotter than my first was. But it does a great job. I would never have another brand.

It seems pretty cool to me. The warm setting seems warm enough, which is what I always use. Don't think I would ever use the hot for fear of frying my hair.

I think so because my hair is a bit on the shorter side right below my shoulders and it was very easy to use. Haven't burned myself once.....yet. :)

Hi Turtlesaver...thought I'd share with you this update on another flat iron. I took a chance and bought the Conair YOU flat iron....while it doesn't get super hot (two settings hi-lo)...it has "plates" that curve around the sides which seem to deal well with the rough ends issue. It works best if you've straightened your hair with a round brush and hair dryer first....which is what I typically do. If you're going from wavy to straight the Conair You won't be hot enough. The Infinity Pro I ended up returning it was awful.

Mine heats up quickly whether the high or low setting. Swivel cord moves smoothly and none of my thin fine hair gets caught in the joints. Hard bristles are shorter and hold my hair exceptionally well (and I don't use tons of styling products either). All in all, this has been the best heated brush iron I have ever used to date - a few friends liked it so much, they went and bought their own !

I have thick hair strands that become tight curls when I use this rod. I lose a couple inches in hair "spring" which lasts days. I do recommend being very careful not to birn yourself with this rod - I've gotten myself a couple times on my wrist when holding the hair ends - its a pretty good burn for a millisecond of skin contact...or smarter yet, use the glove that comes with the rod. LOL

Honestly it was too much heat to apply to my real hair. I only used it on my weave when I had a sew in. It can get really hot & I couldn't risk damaging my hair.

This is how my hair is except it is very heavy too.. It works well if your hair is dry.. but I found it didn't actually straighten wet.. I did love it however it stopped working after maybe 6 months of scattered use. I am using the remington s9260 one now and It works really well on my hair, it gets really hot so it straightens a lot faster. I only wish I had gone with the 1 inch one instead of the 2 inch since I have a chin length bob so it can be hard to get the shorter peices at the bottom with it.. maybe at some point I will invest in that one too.

The handle stays cool to the touch, but the barrel does heat up in order to curl your hair section. There are two heat settings. I usually set it to high and hold the section of hair to a count of 12. If it needs to be repeated, you can do so.

I'm not sure how short your hair is . I know it heats like a flat iron and is the best I've used so far

Yes I curled mine on the highest heat setting, and then straightned it again, but like any normal hair im sure if you left it on for to long it will burn, i left my heat iron on my counter for to long and it burned that. It gets staticy though so use a light mist spray bottle to keep it down. But to answer your question yes! :)

Dorothy I recommend small rollers that grip your fine hair or the smallest barrell hot brush you can find. Hope this helps.

no not with regular heating tools,but i did hear about ones called smart heating tools that are used for this type of hair...i havent used them yet, but look up some reviews on it and see if it works for you...(:

My wife is using it for weeks and has no problem at all. Easy to handle and no overheating. If you are having troubles with the tip, it could be the temperature control set too high or quality control failed. Good luck.

When holding the handle it is cool to the touch. You can most definitely hold it to your head. The longer you hold it in place the tighter your curl will be. It is fabulous!! If you have longer hair and it gets tangles it has a release button, so it won't pull your hair out!!

No, and you wouldn't want it to! My hair is to my shoulders and layered. I roll my hair up on the barrel and turn the heat to high, then to cool and the style is set. I've used the ones that spin and I've never been able to use them without getting my hair all tangled up.
