I'm guilty as charged. I've got shoulder length, straight-ish hair with long layers, and the only appliance that can style my hair properly is BBH. I live in fear of BBH ever being discontinued, or being stuck on a desert island without one. I go away quite a lot, and it's a bulky appliance to pack, but I've now bought the Dual BBH, which has two brushes, so it comes apart.
So as much as I love my BBH, I do wish I could manage without one, but I can't!
