Key specs – Material: Ceramic barrel; Barrel size: N/A; Bristle material: Mixed, nylon and natural boar; Heat settings: 2; Cool blast: Yes; Cord length: 2m; Auto switch-off: No However, if you have curly or textured hair, it’s best to leave a bit of moisture in your lengths or some leave-in conditioner or oil), to help the brush glide through – without having to pull and tug.

There are four heat settings to choose from – including a ‘cool shot’ to secure a curl in place – which are accessible on the bottom of the styler. Unlike traditional tools, where your hair is placed onto a heated plate, the One-Step Multi-Styler uses hot air instead.You’d think as a beauty writer I would have mastered the art of a bouncy blow-dry. Well, sorry to disappoint, but it’s a skill I am yet to get the hang of. I still walk out of salons and internally cry, knowing that I’ll never be able to remake the work of a professional at home. The Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hot Air Brush claims to give fresh-from-the-salon-chair volume, and scores of search results and social media videos constantly reaffirm this as reviewers with various hair types and textures test it out on camera. I've owned this device since 2019, and while it does have some limitations, it makes hair drying and styling at the same time incredibly easy. ➥ How It Works

Also, consider whether you want a hot air styler with ‘ionic technology’. These airwrap alternatives release negative ions to speed up evaporation and reduce flyaway strands. In the box you’ll find a gentle drying attachment to rough-dry wet hair, two different barrel sizes to create looser or tighter curls, two paddle brushes for smoothing, and one round brush for salon-style volume. There are three heat and three speed settings that can be independently selected for maximum control over styling, and buttons for both are built neatly into the handle and intuitive to find and use while styling the hair. The AireBrush Duo’s five temperature settings are all cooler than those on most tools, with the maximum set at just 85ºC; this is gentle enough to use safely on even the most brittle hair. The “Duo” part in this model’s name refers to the two interchangeable attachments: a flat paddle brush and a small round brush (both with ceramic coatings), which you can switch between to create a sleeker straight style or a bouncier curl. The three airflow settings can be independently selected for extra styling versatility, plus there’s a cool shot feature, too, to seal the cuticle and set your finished style. Step 2 - For Curly Style Remove the concentrator and attach the 32mm curling barrel. With Curling barrel: holding the appliance vertically, clamp a 25mm section at the ends and roll toward your crown. Continue holding the appliance vertically until hair feels dry. Lightly press the clamp to release hair and pull the appliance downward to unroll the curl. Repeat until hair has been dried into bouncy spiral curls.Like other products in Revamp’s Progloss range, this hot brush uses a combination of ionic technology and a ceramic barrel infused with keratin protein, argan and coconut oils to condition hair and create a bouncy, glossy finish. You can choose between two heat settings, and airflow can be independently set – so you can choose fast or slow air with either low or high heat for wet hair; and high heat with no air to straighten and style dry hair. To use it, I spritz my dry hair generously with water, clip up the top half, and then use the dryer brush on the “cool” setting until my strands are dry and sleek. I continue to brush through each section of my hair, spraying certain top sections with a little more water and heat to better frame my face. My hair texture is currently a straight-ish 1b, and my blow-out styling (wet or dry) is done in just 9 minutes with this device. 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. One of the big advantages of these Airwrap alternatives is that they dry as well as style, so there's no need to find your best hair dryeras you would do if you were going to use a pair of hair straighteners. They can also help to reduce heat damage. The AireBrush can be used on damp hair, saving you time since you can dry as you style; and the tool uses ionic technology to reduce drying time and to hydrate, giving hair a soft, frizz-free and glossy finish. Perfect for styling more delicate hair – or for anyone who prefers to style hair from damp.

The Rise heats to GHD’s recommended 185ºC in under 30 seconds, and leaves hair feeling silky and soft to the touch. 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. WARNING: Do not use this appliance near bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels containing water. Your hair is in its most fragile state when it is wet, so I used this attachment to dry my hair 90% of the way before using the other attachments. This will prevent damage and breakage as you brush and style your lengths.If you regularly curl your hair, you’ll find a hot air styler that has a grip on the tong invaluable as it means you don’t have to hold the tresses while they’re wrapped around the attachment. Similarly, smaller brushes are best suited to those with shorter, to mid-length hair, as if a brush is too wide, you’ll struggle to get a defined wave unless your hair is long.

(Trust me, with the amount of bleach it’s seen – and a questionable box dye – you'd understand my urgency).
