I am inexperienced with any and all styling tools so I am very apprehensive and nervous!  I used a flat iron and curling iron many years and I suppose I used product but I cannot recall.  I would not want to hear any sort of frying noises --- unless I am cooking --- LOL!

Well maybe my hair sizzled because my flat iron is a Chi and it's pretty darn old and has no heat control perhaps that's what caused the sizzle.

The heated Calista brush bit the dust a few months back and I don't recall if it had a heat control. Maybe not or if it did perhaps I tried on heat too high. I still have my Chi and use it on dry hair and also a new Revlon heated brush w/heat control but haven't been daring enough to try using it on hair dampened by neither my Tresemme nor my Kenra heat protectorants. 

Indeed a sizzle in a frying pan is a good thing, but not in your hair.

Another thought.  Be sure you get something with temperature control. My hair is fairly fragile so I use a lower heat than most. I also use Matrix Total Results to protect my hair from the heat - just a tiny drop as too much is heavy on my hair.

@CalminHeart   My hair is very light grey and too high a heat setting on styling tools , even w/ a protectant, can turn it yellow...Of course, back to a purple shampoo for a few times to remove it, but now I keep the temp quite low. I also make sure my hair is partially dry if I use my Revlon brush that dries and styles. I don't want the heat on there too long.

@CalminHeart 

Yes, very true.  Both these things have different settings.

Could I have the name of the comb type appliance you bought. I have the other one pictured and love it but have gone shorter hair and it's just too big.

I'm not sure if you were asking me or one of the other posters but if so -- the appliance I was speaking of, I referred to as a "comb", because it looks more like a comb to me, as it is very slim and light.  However, the name of it is - EZBasics Hair Straightener Brush.  If you put that in your search bar, it should come up (it is pink).  I don't know if I'm allowed to put in where I got it.
