HOT TOOLSPro Artist 24K Gold One-Step Small Detachable Blowout & Volumizer | Salon Quality Blowouts at-Home

I bought this as a Christmas present for my mom and she loves it. She has shoulder length, straight and thin hair. It dries her hair perfectly and quickly and keeps it soft and helps with frizz. I have 2b hair, thick and somewhere between curly and wavy hair. It took less time to dry my hair than a normal hair dryer but only by maybe 20 minutes. It dried the top layer of my hair quickly but didn't reach the under layers of my hair, I would have had to flipped my head over and that's a no-no for frizz. I should also mention that just because it's a dryer don't forget the proper method of brushing thick curly hair, start at the bottom and work your way up. I got carried away and started at the top and it almost instantly got stuck in my hair and began to rip out some of my hair in addition to snapping and splitting some hairs. That was probably on me though so if you don't do this it should be fine. Also, with thick curly hair take your time gliding the brush through. It works way better that way and doesn't get caught in you hair as much. Speed brushing, even after getting it brushed and tangle free, causes the dense bristles to get stuck in your hair. Because my hair is curly and I have a lot of baby hair on the top of my head my hair still frizzed I didn't use any friz control products either. Honestly though it works great for my mom I would not use it for myself. When I finished using it my hair was mostly straight but not in a fashionable way. It looked like someone did a bad job flat-ironing it, and for some reason I couldn't run my fingers through my hair without my hair getting tangled afterwards. Also be warned, the gold part get HOT so don't let it touch your ears and keep your hair away from the tip of the brush as hair always get stuck in it. I know this seems like a harsh review but I think it's a good product that works well for people with a certain hair types, namely straight or thin hair. If you have hair like mine you could probably get it to work well for you if you practiced with it and put in some extra effort, like anti-friz products and flat ironing afterwards, I just don't want to put so much extra effort into drying my hair. It is a good product, especially after I read a bunch of reviews comparing it to other similar products and found this one to be the best. Plus it has a good warranty and I found a lot of others didn't (or had a short warranty period) and broke shortly (only a fur uses or moths) after the initial use. If you want a hairbrush dryer I would recommend choosing this one over others.

I have frizzy thick hair and I’m not really good at blow drying using a hairdryer and a brush together. I find myself struggling and end up getting lots of knots in my hair.But, this hairdryer is sooooo good. It’s easy to use, hair not only dries quickly but looks so gorgeous and totally process time is very quick. I absolutely recommend it.

This blow dryer works great! It is definitely my go to blow dryer. Really easy to use! It dries my hair fast without leaving it frizzy, and I love the different heat settings. It’s a little on the loud side, but overall it gets the job done and makes my hair smooth and shiny, feels like I left the hair salon. Also if you want volume to your hair it’s great on that too!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is the only hairdryer I use for my long hair. There is no need for a flat iron after drying, my hair is straight, soft, and has less frizz and a slight curl to the ends of my hair. My only issue is that it is very hot and after a few months the prongs start to melt or fall out. Therefore, I have bought this hairdryer three times over the course of almost 2 years. But it is still a great hairdryer and I'll buy it again.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have owned an older model of this hot tools hair dryer and loved it! Hair smoothness:I have fine fizzy wavy hair that I used to need to straighten because it would frizz so easily after I blow dried it. When I found this Hot Tools Brush I stopped having to flat iron my hair! So easy to use, no need to balance a brush and a hair dryer at the same time. This one tool does it all.Pro tip after you have dried each section of hair be sure to hit the cool mode to lock in the style.

This is a fabulous basic blow brush. I love the way it leaves my hair. I had a different one that I returned because of the placement of the controls (where you'd accidentally change settings while using it). The settings on this one are in a perfect place and it's simple to use.

I've had really great luck with this hot tool! It travels well and makes for a quick and easy polished look when blowdrying your hair. My favorite part is that I don't have to go back over it with another hot tool for a finished look! The shape is more oval than circular which is nice because it doesn't curl up or under too dramatically and brings a lot of volume to my roots. I am able to get away with just using the "low" function and it still does a really great job of efficiently drying my hair. I would put this tool up against any of the other high end options that are quadruple the price!
