Nylon bristles work easily and gently through the hair to smooth down flyaways and deliver a polished finish. As with all GHD products, there’s only one heat setting, which worked well on our mid-length curly hair. Detangle:Before going in with the blow dryer brush, you'll want to start by detangling your hair. With this in mind, Ellis recommends "combing out each section to ensure its tangle free before going in with the brush." He continues, telling Insider, "To get that smooth look, make sure you are using enough tension!"

Pros: The Dyson Airwrap features innovative technology to protect hair from overheating and comes with a whopping six attachments. Key details – Styling method: Hot air with ceramic-coated brush; Barrel size: 64mm; Heat settings: 5; Cool blast: Yes; Cord length: 2.7m After each section is complete, wrap the curls up and clip them into place. Next, let your hair set. Don't skip the clipping (it's the most important part)," says Hollie. "Allow all of the hair to cool and then release that big bouncy salon-fresh feeling blow dry."

11. Best hair dryer brush for gentle styling: GHD Rise Professional Hot Brush

The Red beauty team recruited 270 panellists to help us trial 32 hot brushes. They judged each tool on how easy and comfortable it was to use, as well as its design, instructions and performance. Whether you've been coddled with salon blow-dries and are ready to take the reins or are familiar with the technique and want to step up your game, the right brush will set you up for success. As you may know, not all hairbrushes are equipped to handle the heat of a blow dryer. To get the smoothness and body you crave without damaging your hair, you'll typically want something round or vented with heat-resistant bristles. In the lab, our expert beauty testers carried out a temperature test to gauge safety and accuracy, before assessing design features such as automatic switch-off. The BaByliss Hydro-Fusion 4-in-1 comes with two heat settings plus a cool shot to set your style once hair is dry. Like other products in the Hydro-Fusion range, the 4-in-1 dryer arrives in an attractive ice-blue colour that will look great on any dressing table. Whether you’re straightening with the paddle brush or going for plus-sized volume, this tool is fantastically easy to use – and hair looks and feels silky-soft and shiny after use.

Some hot brushes harness hot air to dry as you style, meaning you can use them safely on wet or damp hair, but they don't tend to offer as much drying power as your go-to hair dryer. Remove Excess Moisture: Once you've brushed out your hair, remove excess moisture with a microfiber towel. Ellis tells Insider that removing the excess water makes the hair "more manageable" when using the blow dryer brush. He also notes that if you air-dry or rough-dry hair, it can lead to frizz; however, you also don't want to go in with soaking wet hair since it'll take longer to style. There are a range of optional features and materials that will improve your hot-brushing experience. Keep an eye out for models that use ionic technology and ceramic materials, since these are gentler on the hair. Hot air brushes that can be used on wet or damp hair are great time-savers, since you can skip blow-drying and get straight to styling. The Flawless Volume air styler can be used on damp and dry hair (although it works best on hair that’s mostly dry) and comes with two heat settings, as well as a cool blast to set your style in place. Those with very fine hair should opt for the lowest temperature setting and position the tool close to the root for extra volume. For a smooth and sleek style, be sure to keep a tight grip on your hair and the tool. Round brushes come in different sizes, usually between 1 to 4 inches in diameter. Smaller barrel brushes are generally better for drying and styling shorter haircuts, whereas larger brushes work best for longer hair. Additionally, medium and large brushes can be used to straighten hair or create loose waves while drying.Here's everything you need to know about using a hot brush and how to find the best hot brush for your hair type... Do hot brushes damage your hair? The smaller the brush, the more root lift (on short hair) and a tighter curl," says Gorka. "The medium size brushes will give volume on longer hair and a soft wave. A big round brush will give a good amount volume and a slight bend to the end, giving a very soft, flowing look,” he explains. Key specs – Material: Ceramic barrel; Heat settings: 2; Cool blast: Yes; Cord length: 2.5m; Auto switch-off: No

Cons: Despite how lightweight it is, the barrel is large — and perhaps may be too large for those with shorter hair. Hair is most fragile when wet, so tools that have hot ceramic plates should only be used on dry or nearly dry hair. And note that you may not get the flawless results you're after if your hair is still damp. Always protect your strands from damage by applying a heat protectant before styling.
