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. Brushes that blow out warm air usually work best on damp hair, which has been washed and towel dried to around 80% dry. Section the hair, then start at the root, pulling the brush slowly through it. Similar to blow drying, the tension from gently but continuously pulling through the hair creates the style. If your brush rotates, pull it smoothly through the hair in the direction of rotation and allow it to wrap hair around the barrel as it goes. 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.

A sleek,shiny and voluminous salon blowout can be a great way to elevate your look; but, until recently, it hasn’t been easy to recreate that freshly styled look at home. Help is at hand, however, with one of the latest hot-brush styling tools. Plus, brushing spreads sebum to make your hair stronger (sounds disgusting, we know), and this can help with greasiness. What type of hairbrush should I use? If you plan on blow drying natural hair textures with a paddle brush, look for one with a cool setting & heat tolerance of up to 450ºF. We recommend choosing a paddle bristle brush with flexible bristles that’s designed to support scalp health & circulation to the roots of your hair type (all while helping to speed up the blow drying process). #2 Prepare Your Hair by Regularly Using a Transition Mask Section-by-section, carefully work your way from the end to the root - each bristle will gently separate the hair so there is no need to drag or pull - no breakage needed here thanks!We test all of the hairbrushes we review on our own hair. We use the brushes as recommended on clean, dry hair (or damp hair, where this is recommended) – and, where possible, we test them on more than one hair type. It comes down to the way paddle brushes for curly hair are built. The best-designed paddle brushes have:

A hot paddle brush is great for straightening hair in a jiffy, while a round hot brush will deliver more red-carpet volume and bounce. Choose the right hot brush for your hair type, texture and desired finish, and you can achieve a professional-looking blow-dry at home – in far less time than a home blowout would take, and at a fraction of the price of a trip to the salon. The low weight of this GHD Radial brush makes it easy to handle, and it comes in a range of sizes. The size pictured is Size 1 but you can opt for a size 3 or 4 if you’re looking for a smoother blowout with larger curls, bounce and more volume. Let’s start with the basics: Why do stylists recommend a paddle hair brush with nylon bristles to blow dry curls? Anti-static design – This helps you decide precisely how much frizz & flyaways will be a part of your final look. English brand Mason Pearson hasn’t changed its cult-classic Boar and Nylon Bristle brush since 1895 – a testament to its superb design.

It’s not just about detangling and promoting shine, though. Regularly brushing clears out impurities that naturally build up in your hair and scalp. It removes old hair, dead skin cells and products which can cause bacteria to clog up scalp’s pores which can prevent growth. 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.
