Arkam Beard Straightener for Men -Premium Heated Beard Brush Kit w/Anti-Scald Feature, Dual Action Hair Comb and Hard Shell Travel Case for Medium to Long Beards - Costume and Grooming Gifts for Men

I purchased this yesterday and received it today. This is my first use out of the box, and it's amazing. I'm new to the beard thing and have no clue what I'm doing other than following information online. I'd describe my facial hair as wiry, coarse, and unmanageable. I usually end up keeping it short because of that, but I am now trying to grow it out.Which is where the straightener comes in. I decided to purchase it after searching online and found it on the list in multiple search results. It looks and performs as advertised. I put the setting on the highest setting (475 degrees), and it gets hot quickly (about 2-3 minutes), and it didn't scald my face or burn the hair. I used it slowly (3-5 seconds from top to bottom), beginning with the left side to compare & contrast, and started from my sideburns down to the bottom of the beard and worked my way to the front. In total, I spent about 5-10 minutes repeating it. I then used it on the right side.For the first time, my beard is noticeably more straight and smoother than I've felt before. As I'm still a novice at growing a beard, the straightener seemed to work like magic. I can't believe how quickly it worked.I absolutely love this straightener and am thankful for it - especially my beard.

Alright, I bought this for my husband almost 6 years ago when he was wearing a beard. It was apparently only a phase, he's been clean-shaven for years now, and I forgot about this device until I recently found it buried in my closet. I decided to try it as a straightening brush for my hair, and am pleased to say that it works well. The unit itself is simple; plug into the wall, click the only button on it until it's flashing one of the four heat settings, let it warm up for a minute or two and go. The nubs at the ends of the bristles do not transfer any heat, so I brush the whole way to my scalp without any discomfort. Watch it when brushing the underside of the hair, though, the top of the brush head does get hot like any other curler/straightener.I have thick, below shoulder length, curly, coarse hair (it's a mix of curl patterns ranging from 3B to 4A) and I used this on the highest setting after drying my hair first with heat protectant. I used a volumizing brush dryer (the Revlon one has been all over Tiktok and Buzz Feed) and it gets my hair straight, but it's still frizzy no matter what heat protectant or serum I put in it first. I used this beard straightener on the highest heat setting and brushed it through with slow passes and my hair was straighter, but more importantly much smoother. Very happy with this, the smaller size still gets the job done in only a few minutes, and it would work on shorter hair, too. I would buy this again.

I decided to grow out my goatee. I have had a beard/goatee for most of my life and, since I'm working from home, figured I would try. I have never had it longer then a #3 blade on a trimmer so didn't know what it would look like. Well, I had no idea that you could have a cowlick in a BEARD!There was no way I was going to use one of those beard straighteners that looks like a flat iron. Too much work, plus I don't trust that type of heat so close to my face! When I read about ionic brushes I started to research and found this one. It had great reviews so I figured I would try. While it doesn't get rid of the cowlick, it makes it much better and easier to groom.Using the brush is simple, just plug it in and choose one of the 3 heat settings. It heats up quickly too. The entire brush head heats up, but the end of the bristles are covered so that the heat never burns your face. All you need to do is to run the brush slowly through your beard and it will straighten your facial hair, simple as that! I find that angling the brush so the bristles point downward gives better results. With my hair being curved almost 90 degrees to the left, it didn't completely straighten it, but it did a great job. Not only did it straighten the hair, it also made my beard look fuller. It was definitely much easier to style too.If you are looking to grow out a beard, but don't like it getting all grizzly and wild looking, this is a great solution. It works very well and, more importantly, won't burn your face or hair.

I've been using this for a couple of months now to help control my moustache as I'm growing it out to a handlebar. It's designed in a way that the heating elements won't touch your skin but will comb through your hair. It takes about two minutes for it to reach max temperature, which is pretty hot, but it would be difficult to burn yourself. It is possible to burn your hair, though, so you do want to keep it moving as you're combing through. I make sure my moustache is wet and I also add a little beard balm to protect from the heat. Water will turn to steam while using this, and it sometimes pops a bit, so there is still some risk of burns.This has really helped with controlling my moustache and keeping it neat. It will not leave moustache or beard hair perfectly straight. Nothing but a chemical straightener will do that. Heat and water help break the hydrogen bonds that cause your hair to curl and have kinks, but it's a very temporary fix. I've read some reviews claiming this doesn't work, but I think people just have the wrong expectations.The comb's teeth are fairly far apart and not very fine, but I think that's a necessary compromise. Would be nice to have an easy way to clean this. The storage bag is nice and appreciated. I don't know how durable this will be, but for now it's working very well.

Does straighten, and help to style a beard. Makes thick curly hair soft and look nice. Works fast.

It worked decent and consistently. It gets hot pretty quickly. Then one day, I noticed while brushing it wasn't even on. Then after a while, it would only work if I held it in a certain position, like who has time for that?
