![]() She’s an expert at researching and writing hair stories, like the best shampoos for thinning hair and the best purple shampoos, and feels especially knowledgeable in hair-dryer brushes thanks to having long, dense hair that takes a particularly long time to dry and style. Siena Gagliano is an associate editor at Cosmopolitan who writes beauty and has three years of experience writing about beauty, fashion, and lifestyle news. ✔️ FYI: We updated this article in August 2023 to give you the most up-to-date info on hair-dryer brushes, including new tried-and-tested picks, a hairstylist’s take on which ones are the best, and how to choose a hair-dryer brush for yourself. That said, not all hair-dryer brushes are created equal, so I personally tested and reviewed 10 of my favorites on my own hair and tapped expert hairstylist Andrés Melendez to help us break down the best brushes for every hair type and style preference, below: ![]() Basically, if you're after a salon-worthy blow-dry, you absolutely need a hair-dryer brush in your beauty arsenal. The best part? Even if you legit suck at styling your hair with a round hair brush and hair dryer, you'll be able to handle a blow-dryer brush because it combines both tools in one for an easy at-home blowout-no awkward juggling required. The result? Straighter, smoother, bouncier hair, whether you're working with poofy 1a hair or curly 3c hair. Luckily, hair-dryer brushes exist-i.e., heated round brushes that blow out your hair as you brush and style it. But because I a) don't have the $$$ and b) don't have the time, that's not possible. The Conair has a 5-foot cord and comes with a two-year warranty.Let's be real: If it were possible, I would get a professional blowout on the daily. At less than 11 ounces, it ties with the EZ Dryer Ion for the lightest of the paddle-style models we tested. Like all of the paddle-style hair dryer brushes we tested, the Conair has three heat settings (high, low, and cool). This result may be due to two factors unique to the Conair brush, namely its slimmer oval shape (most paddle brushes are wide and rectangular) and combination of different bristle materials and lengths, all of which make it much easier to dry hair closer to the scalp. Despite having the lowest wattage of any of the paddle hair dryer brushes we considered (600 watts), it dried hair sections almost as quickly as the brush we tried with the highest wattage: the Instagram darling EZ Dryer Ion (1,200 watts). Although we recommend the vacuum-style RevAir dryer for people with more fragile strands, for around a tenth of the price the Conair is a decent and similarly gentle option for hair drying and straightening. We tried four paddle-style hair dryer brushes, finding the best overall to be the Conair InfinitiPro Hot Air Paddle Brush. However, paddle-style hair dryer brushes do a decent job of drying and straightening hair, especially when you’re preparing hair for a second round of styling (with a curling iron, a straightening comb, or braids). This control comes at a cost, though: Paddle-style hair dryer brushes are notorious for being unable to reach hair roots, and it often takes longer to dry a full head of hair with one than it does with either a round hair dryer brush or a traditional hair dryer. Because the bristles and airflow are restricted to one side of a paddle-style hair dryer brush, you have more control over the amount of heat you apply to your hair. However, some people find paddle-style hair dryer brushes gentler and better for detangling than cylindrical models, since this brush style may reduce snagging. Most hair dryer brushes are cylindrical in shape and have 360 degrees of bristles, as round styling brushes do. They are designed to replace the pairing of a traditional hair dryer with a separate brush. Hair dryer brushes like the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus 2.0 (and its still-available predecessor) circulate heated air from within, through holes between the bristles.
