That was my thought too, I'd worry about losing the plug! It really should be attached by a small flexible heat resistant material. I know all these companies look for way to cut costs for production but this would really be a selling point since it is so important in its function. Since they sponsored your video I'm sure they would take input seriously along with the fact you have been a stylist for a long time & have a good following here on RUclips. Let us know if the company responds to your input & perhaps they can address the issue & possibly give some type of fix for the current model.
Justin where have you been all my life. Your knowledge has taken me places my hair has never been Thankyou so very much..may this new year be filled with joy
Your wife has a beautiful smile/laugh, and she is so lucky to be married to a hairdresser...!! No bad hair days that can't be fixed easily and oh so cheap to smile ☺️ 😊
It is a pretty cool gadget. I’ve had mine for several months and use it for a quick easy touch up. Once I remove the safety attachment I place it in the pouch so I don’t lose it. However I feel if it was attached, it would get in the way of styling your hair so either way I still enjoy using this little thing. Now we just need a straightener 😀 thanks for the videos and great tips 👍🏼😉
Great little gadget but even before you said it, I was shouting at the screen "that little stop thing will get lost". Silly design. Cant believe it isn't attached and I bet you'd have to pay a fortune for a replacement one.
Agree Justin, they should have that small thing attached in some way or other. The company will get customers complaining about that problem, which could result in them attaching it on future models.
My comment on your pending tour of Africa. Enjoy every moment. Must see some of the game reserves if possible. Magnificent places to see. From a fellow South African living in the Western Cape.😊😊😊😊
Thought the same thing when you removed the little plug! Surprised it wasn’t obvious to the design team. But I can imagine the functionality of the Porta is otherwise excellent. I have the TYMO hot air brush and it performs extremely well. Happy trails!
I wish I had that for my vacation. I have the same hair as your wife....thin and wispy. It tends to frizz up in humidity. We went on a ride on one of the double decker busses and my hair frizzed out and my husband didn't tell me it looked terrible! I went in a bathroom and I was mortified! LOL. If I would have had this and some hair spray I could have fixed it! Instead it went into a bun for the whole trip.
I got this product and returned it. If you have thicker hair - it does not really do much. I was super disappointed and yes - the little USB-c cover is just going to get lost!
What about the GHD Duet Style 2-in-1 Hot Air Styler? Is that worth it or do you find it to be a good product, like some of these. I know it is not cordless like this product, but, I am interested in your opinion.
My Tymo is THE biggest disappointment since I met my ex husband! Its absolutely useless! Its just a brush thats hot which causes more frizz and dryness than I had originally! Huge waste of money!
Yesterday I binged a bunch of your videos for inspiration. After letting my hair grow for a year it was time for a change. My hair was mid back and the longest I had worn it in a long time. I was tired of styling it and it just wasn’t looking or feeling good to me anymore. My stylist listened to my ideas, most of which came from you. My style is similar to Dionna’s but a bit shorter. My bangs were eyebrow length in January. They’re only below my cheek bone now but it’s nice to do something different after years of bangs. I’m looking for a faster styling routine and wondering if you would recommend this for at home styling? It looks faster than a flat iron. I’m not sure that I would style it on the go but like how easy it looks to use.
Purchased mine about a year ago and used it twice. I thought it did a pretty good job on my super-thin hair and thought it would be good for travel. So here I am, leaving for a weeklong vacay in a few days, and I pulled out all my stuff to pack. I have lots of hair tool options, so I've been flip-flopping on what to bring/not bring. I pulled out the Tymo to use it again after it's been sitting for a year. It was dead, of course, but it charged up just fine. So I went to use it, and it worked fine, but smoke was coming out of it, and it smells like something is burning inside. Obviously, it's now destined for the trash, since it's long past the return window. So with just two uses, it was a total waste of $$$. So disappointed! People that agree to be sponsored by these products should do an update after a year or so (assuming they kept the product) and let us know how it's going. And before doing so, they should also do their research (in their own comment feed and elsewhere) to see how it's working (or not) for others and address that compared to their own experience. That would be more helpful than just reviewing a new product that has little or no history in the marketplace.
Hello hello Justin, This is a great tool... I might be getting it... great review for the product.. thank you for the same. Safe travels to you guys! Much love from Charlotte, NC
How to understand when it is charged🤔??? Because while charging, after 4 hours, the light continues to flash blue, but it does not stop at just blue or indicate that green means that the battery is full.... It just turns on and off with blue non stop 🙄
Is ist true that you can't use any styling products with this device? (and we all know you shouldn't put heat on your hair without a heat protectant product, right?)
If I could only find something modern that was chargeable and will curl my hair after camping for a couple of days. I have a Conair Thermacell curling iron that runs on butane but won't light in the low oxygen levels of the Colorado mountains. This one is a very small barrel which is also not ideal. I also have a rechargeable curler that sucks your hair in and rotates giving me really tight curls. I just want a normal amount of curl to keep my straight stringy hair from feeling so uncomfortably icky after a couple days of no styling.
Sorry you feel that way. I definitely do integrations (and rarely I’ll do full videos that are dedicated to a product sponsorship). I only work with brands I truly believe in and would be sharing about regardless of the sponsorship. With that said, I appreciate those who can understand the amount of time, work and cost involved with running a channel and creating content. Integrations and sponsorships are what allow me to create content to help folks like yourself in a way that allows you to benefit for free. Another way to look at it, the sponsorships are paying for the video so that you don’t have to.
No worries! That happens. I’m definitely guilty of it. I appreciate the apology and openness to have a conversation about it. Thanks for the support on my channel. It’s sincerely appreciated. Have a great weekend!
I bought it. It’ll be great for me when I don’t want to fire up my bigger hit tools. I agree on the plug but that’s what the carrying case is for. 😊

Justin where have you been all my life.
Your knowledge has taken me places my hair has never been
Thankyou so very much..may this new year be filled with joy
Only online video that shows how to turn on and use. All the others show it already. Thank you 🙏
Your wife has a beautiful smile/laugh, and she is so lucky to be married to a hairdresser...!! No bad hair days that can't be fixed easily and oh so cheap to smile ☺️ 😊
Very cool tool! Many, many years ago, I had a little curling iron that ran on lighter fluid. I loved it. Have a great time in Africa!!!

Put the little end in the bag while using!😊

You’re so likable 😊

I had a butane brush like this in early 2000's, I miss that little thing, I will give this a look.
Wow!!!! Hope you're going to show some scenery that "doesn't suck" from Africa!!!! Have fun and be safe!!!
You two are the cutest couple ever!
I would love to try this with the humid weather here in Miami, Florida. By the way, I love that this video is so informative.
What about short hair? Will this work for and my short hair?
This looks something handy for touch up especially after the gym.

I love this new hair saver! Thank you for sharing ❤️ Keep Smiling 😊

Can you please tell me how long you actually charge it
EXCELLENT gadget 👏 👏 👏

This is brilliant! I need it for my travels.

hi guys! does the style last on the hair? do you use any heat protectant before using the device? thanks
Wow this is going right on my Christmas list!

Can this go inside a carry on bag to the plane?

I will put the plug straight in the case when using the porta, so you won’t lose it 😊
Hello hello Justin,
This is a great tool... I might be getting it... great review for the product.. thank you for the same.
Safe travels to you guys!
Much love from Charlotte, NC
What happens if you lose the plug? Would i still be able to use it?
Love it! Looks like you guys are having a great time in Africa.
Definitely a cool little tool! Have a wonderful trip to Africa!
How can I email you to get a hair evaluation?
How to understand when it is charged🤔??? Because while charging, after 4 hours, the light continues to flash blue, but it does not stop at just blue or indicate that green means that the battery is full.... It just turns on and off with blue non stop 🙄
Is ist true that you can't use any styling products with this device? (and we all know you shouldn't put heat on your hair without a heat protectant product, right?)
Would this work on 3c curls?
So cool
Love that you don’t burn yourself?
Ok I think I need this!!
If I could only find something modern that was chargeable and will curl my hair after camping for a couple of days. I have a Conair Thermacell curling iron that runs on butane but won't light in the low oxygen levels of the Colorado mountains. This one is a very small barrel which is also not ideal. I also have a rechargeable curler that sucks your hair in and rotates giving me really tight curls. I just want a normal amount of curl to keep my straight stringy hair from feeling so uncomfortably icky after a couple days of no styling.
So, I put the safety charging port cover in the travel bag right away and zip it up until done.
I need this!
YES!
Hope you'll send videos from your African adventure
Just purchased this . I'm not happy with it at all.
Hi 👋🏽 Justin , I got excited seeing 👀 your home 🏡 on wheels 🛞. From what I can see 👀 it looks nice 👌🏽
wow. that was cheeeeezy!
The Tymo Porta is a dud. Used once and it stopped working, refusing to charge.
Paid for review. The brush is junk. Returned after it stopped heating after 2 uses. Wise up ladies
So now your channel is just one long infomercial.

I enjoyed the video, and I just purchased my TYMO. Your review was excellent and much appreciated 😊
I'm Sorry but When You Want A Very Good Old day, you have to detox all these tattoos Look at RUclips haha: Medical medium!
