HOT TOOLS24K Gold Blow Dryer Brush - Hot Air Brush for Salon-Worthy Volume in One Step - Volumizer with 24K Gold Technology for Fast Styling & Long-Lasting Results

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.

My faithful blow dryer brush ! It works perfect and has lasted me a long time

First, let me start off with saying I have always HATED styling my hair. I’m not good at it and it takes WAY too long to do. I’ll spend 45 minutes on makeup (love doing my makeup), but then I get to hair and usually throw my wet mop into a tight ponytail. That “look” not only ends up looking unpolished, but I pull my ponytail so tight that I always breaking hairs just from the tugging several times a day.My hair is medium-long (about 3-5” past my shoulders), fine but fluffy/frizzy, and I have a lot of it. It takes me about 20-25 minutes to dry it with a normal blow drier. When I’m done with drying, it’s normally so frizzy and crazy that I MUST flat iron, or else it looks like I just woke up. Flat ironing would take me another 20 min or so, so we’re looking at 45 min total to do my hair. Nope. I don’t have the time or patience for all that, unless I’m going out at night.And then I discovered this Hot Tools miracle.I’ve only been using this a little less than a week, but it’s changed my hair life and I am telling all my girlfriends.It’s reduced my time from 45 minutes to 10. TEN!! Not only that, I don’t have to flat iron my hair, which saves time and heat exposure to my fine hair.The end result is SO smooth. In fact, I would recommend going light on any additional smoothing serums/lotions until you can anticipate your hair’s needs with this product. I’ve used it bit too much (even just concentrating on the ends) a few times, and my hair almost seems oily. I think this product helps the product penetrate your hair more, or it simply seals the hair shaft so that you don’t need as much.Regardless, in 10 minutes I have a voluminous, healthy, beautiful head of hair that matches the effort/time I put into my makeup, without actually taking long at all.This product is so (superficially) life changing that I’ve begun looking at better hair care products so that I can help grow all the broken hairline hairs into a gorgeous full set of healthy locks.I’m probably going to buy another of these for my gym bag so that I don’t have to worry about ever forgetting it.Okay, more about the device itself:- heat: when I first start using it, it’s reasonably hot, but it’s not excessive. I’ve noticed about halfway through if gets SUPER hot and I have to be careful how/where I position my hands. But .... it’s manageable and I never feel like my hair is burning.- on/off switch: the absolute only thing I struggle with is turning the device on/off/cool blast without feeling awkward. The switch is in a location where you can’t really one-hand it. For me, I must stop what I’m doing, turn the device and locate the switches, and move the switch. This means any section of hair I’m working on must be maneuvered/pinned back first, while I’m changing the setting on the dryer. Some of this is probably just practice / muscle memory, but it’s worth mentioning that this is the only mechanical design issue I have with the device. Also, I’m left handed - I don’t think that has anything to do with my issue, but I tend to do things a little backwards as a right-brained person.- pulling on hair: no tearing!! I’ve put some tension on this thing, and worked the hair at weird angles with awkward sectioning, and haven’t experienced any discernible damage or breakage. Awesome!!- size: Thing thing takes up space! Two design elements would be great with this thing: 1) retractable cord, and 2) hook on the end so that I can hang this in my bathroom. Because this is a brush as well as a dryer, I don’t want to just throw it around and risk damaging the bristles, so I currently put it in another room instead of in my bathroom drawer.Okay, that’s my review. Hopefully it helps someone make their decision!
