I’m not going to lie, before I tried them, I was sceptical of hot brushes and the claims of them creating a smoother, blow-dried look in less time.
As someone with out-of-control thick hair, I couldn’t wrap my head (or hair) around the fact that it could take your mane of hair, no matter the texture, and smooth it out in a few strokes. That was until I tried a few that I was genuinely blown away by… excuse the pun. There are some hairdryer brushes out there that make creating a salon-worthy blow-dry at home an absolute piece of pie.
The type of hot brush you should get is really dependant on your hair type – pick the wrong one and you’ll be forgiven for thinking that none of them work for your hair type. If you have thick, curly or Afro-textured hair, hot brushes with paddle brush-style attachments will work the best to initially blow-dry your hair as they are better for easing through tighter textures. The Dyson Airwrap Complete comes with 2 paddle brush attachments as well as round brushes and wand heads to take you from tight curls to loose waves without having to use 17 different tools. “It’s a wet to dry styler where you can use the different attachments to achieve looks while maintaining your overall hair health,” raves Larry King, Dyson Global Ambassador, Session Stylist and Salon Owner.
Volume something you crave from a blow-dry? You need the Hot Tools Volumiser in your life, like, stat. The oval barrel of the brush gives real lift to your roots while the dual-texture bristles smooth through your hair for pure bounce.
Take a look at our top picks below. Honestly, they are so good your hairdresser will think you’re cheating on them…
1 Hot Tools LIMITED EDITION Black Gold Revolutionary Volumiser
Hot Tools amazon.co.uk
£79.65
The dual-textures bristles (which the brand call ‘SmoothFlow’) are designed to create the bounciest finish and we were so impressed with the lift it gave to the root. If you have fine hair or long hair that tends to look flat due to the weight of it, this will give you the salon-finish you’re after.
2 Dyson Airwrap™ styler Complete
The big daddy of hairdryer brushes. The complete set is a true wet-to-styled routine for all hair types and textures. If you have the tightest coiled hair, the paddle brush attachment makes light work of stretching the hair without using extreme heat. After use, your hair is soft, silky and ready for further straightening or styling.
3 BaByliss Air Style 1000
BaByliss feelunique.com
£40.00
The different attachments for this take a bit of getting to grips with but once you get the technique down, you’ll probably never pay for a blow-dry again. The paddle brush attachment works well on mid-length hair to smooth quickly (the rigid bristle are great for curly hair) but the star is the round brush that creates relaxed volume on naturally wavy hair.
4 ghd Rise Professional Hot Brush
ghd lookfantastic.com
£169.00
This isn’t a hot air brush you can use from wet to dry, but we had to give it a shout out for the way it smooths and shapes the hair. If you normally have to blow-dry, straighten and then use a wand to give you the waves you want, this kind of does all three in one.
5 Remington Volume and Curl Air Styler, Ionic Hair Dryer Brush for Curling and Smoothing - AS7051, Black/Pink
Remington amazon.co.uk
£28.31
Not only is this brush the most inexpensive, it works well for finer hair to smooth out and create soft volume. The three round brush attachments have a mix of bristles but they are all pretty pliable so if you have really thick or curly hair they don't create as much tension as needed to smooth it out completely.
6 Revlon Salon One- Step Volumizer for mid to long hair (2-in-1 styling tool, dryer and styler, IONIC TECHNOLOGY, Ceramic tourmaline coating), RVDR5222
Revlon amazon.co.uk
A salon-style blow-dry in 10 minutes? IDEAL. On mid-length thick, wavy hair this brush took just ten minutes to dry and straighten. If you want your hair to be poker straight this isn’t the one to pick but it’s top choice if you’re looking for smooth hair with a slight bounce and good volume.
7 ghd Glide Hot Brush - Hot Brushes for Hair Styling (Black)
As a heads up, this isn’t a damp to dry brush, your hair needs to be fully air dry to use it. But if you have curls or coils, you’ll know how long it can be to blow-dry and then straighten your hair, this makes the straight styling process soooo much easier as you can run it through pretty large sections and it takes it from curly to straight and ready to style.
