When you have really long hair, thermal stylers really have to be special to actually help you dry and style your hair in a reasonable time frame. Go with the Blow is good because it's not tacky or gummy, it slides easily from your hands to your hair and helps reduce hair drying time and makes it easier to style right after. It's not my favourite thermal styler, but for such an affordable price, it works in a pinch and is great as a back-up or in-between product.
