Believe the hype!

So these things were impossible to get ahold of. Apparently everyone wanted one and they were sold out across NA. When I finally got my hands on one, I was SO happy I waited and didn’t go with an alternative.

I’ve never been one to be coordinated enough to use a brush AND blow dryer at the same time, so this thing has been a godsend for my volumeless hair. There’s a little bit of a learning curve, but watching a ton of YouTube videos really helped me get the technique down, so I highly recommend doing that if you’re a beginner at this. This also works best on hair that is not dripping wet (which is horrible for your hair anyways), I let my hair dry around 50% before using this.

At $50-60, this thing is a steal. I haven’t touched my flat iron since I got it, which was just not a thing I could do in the past with my frizzy kinda curly hair. My hair is dried and smoothed with just one tool. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but this has been compared to the Dyson Airwrap, with many preferring the Revlon.

The absolute only issue I’ve noticed with this is that if you have any metal jewelry in your ears, and have the brush on the hottest setting, be careful because it heats any metal up really fast! I saw a girl get a bit burned by her necklace in a YouTube video for the same reason. But aside from that, I have no issues at all, and will literally never go back to my old ways of styling ever again.

Fast, effective but loud

This tool is perfect for those who struggle with the round brush and blow dryer combo. It quickly blow dries thick hair and leaves it soft and with vomume but I found the blow dry look didn't last long (but I didn't use any products so that might be why). Very loud though.

Where have you been all my life?

I have wavy hair, but not wavy enough to let it air dry and look good. I’ve never quite mastered the two handed round brush and hair dryer, and a flat iron leaves my hair too flat, so most days I would have so-so hair. I saw this on YouTube and decided to give it a try. It works great on my hair. I start with damp hair, either by letting my hair air dry for a bit, or by using my regular blow dryer (but no styling effort is required.). This smooths my hair and gives me volume. I use it on the low setting most of the time. It is a bit awkward the first couple of times, but you quickly adapt.

Way too loud

I have chin length straight, fine hair. I purchased this all in one hair dryer brush to try and give my hair some volume.
It is quite large! I am petite person (5'1") and my small hands struggled to hold this big device. It isn't heavy, but it is awkward, and it causes me wrist pain and fatigue when I use it.
This product does not work on WET hair, only DAMP hair (says so right in the instructions) so you must either towel dry, or in my case dry it partially with a regular blow dryer before drying.
It does leave my hair looking more voluminous, but it takes quite a while to use compared to just blow drying. I am able to skip the run over with the straightener though, which I like. I think it must cause a bit of damage to my hair though as my hair feels coarser since starting to use this product.
The device doesn't get too hot and I have yet to burn my scalp. I dont use this device every time I dry my hair, only when I have time.
The biggest downside of this device (and the reason I would not purchase again or recommend) is the sound level. You have to hold this fairly close up your ears while using it and it is SO LOUD. Leaves my ears ringing and my head sore every single time I use it, whereas my trusty regular blow dryer does not.

My new go to dryer!

My stylist recommended I buy this to help add volume to my fine and thin hair. I love it! It’s a little big and awkward at first, but once you have the hang of it, it is very easy to use. I start with partially dry hair. I either quickly use a regular dryer or let my hair air dry to ~50% before I use this brush. I also find it helps to roughly section your hair. I find thin hair is easy to dry but harder to get it to hold the style. Using this brush, my blowout lasts for 2-3 days. It is faster for me lto style my hair using this versus a regular brush and hair dryer. Hold at your roots for a few seconds to help them dry and create volume.

I currently use a salon quality hair dryer that dries my long fine hair in under 3 minutes. That’s about as much time as I have at 5:30 in the morning while rushing to get ready for work.

The theory behind this dryer is fabulous – the execution isn’t for time savers.

The dryer has a cool, low, and high setting – they recommended the low setting for my hair type, however, it just wasn’t powerful enough for my liking. The high setting is fine, as the dryer blowing part doesn’t actually touch your scalp, hence it would take a lot to overheat on your scalp. Going along with this, it also requires patience to totally dry the hair roots – you do have to hold the brush at the roots longer for an almost successful drying session.

After about 6 minutes of drying my hair the first time, I just gave up on my roots and let them air dry.

My hair looks okay afterwards, but doesn’t quite give the fullness I desire.

No part of the exterior of the brush is really hot to touch afterwards, and the brush part itself is quite soft and nice to touch. It easily untangled my hair without pulling at the roots.

The cord is long, but no thicker or higher quality than a normal hair dryer cord.

So overall, it’s okay, but didn’t wow me in comparison with my salon quality dryer.

I’ll use it while travelling and don’t have a timeline for getting ready.
