Top 10 Hair Dryer Brushes

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Unlike many blow dryer brushes, this one clocks in under two pounds, so it won't strain your arms while you style. Plus, it contains ionic technology to reduce heat damage and combination bristles to reduce tangles.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: This hair dryer brush offers high, low, and cool settings to help you achieve smooth, sleek strands in record time.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Designed with ceramic-titanium plates, this blow dryer brush prevents damage and speeds up drying time. According to reviews, it delivers a salon-worthy blowout at just a fraction of the price.

USER REVIEW: "Honestly, I love this tool. Once you start using this, you’ll never want to go back to a regular blow dryer. It cuts my drying time in half, and I literally have had my blowout last five days with dry shampoo. Amazing!"

WHAT IT DOES: Aptly named "The Knot Dr.," this impressive hot air brush uses 176 perfectly spaced Flexalite bristles to help smooth out knots and tangles without pulling or pain. It also has two heat settings and a cool setting, plus a volumizing attachment that's ideal for adding a little lift to your look.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: You can also use this dryer brush without either attachment to remove excess moisture before you start styling.

WHAT IT DOES: Designed with tourmaline ceramic technology, this brush delivers shiny, frizz-free strands and a glossy finish every time. And thanks to mixed-pattern bristles, it provides volume, definition, and texture every time. 

USER REVIEW: "This tool is amazing! I read a lot of reviews for different tools before making a decision. Many reviews said it got too hot, but I need hot to dry this thick hair I've got. Not only does it dry really fast, but it also leaves my hair bouncy and light. I am so happy I decided to buy this blow dryer brush!"

WHAT IT DOES: Besides looking beautiful on your bathroom counter, this blowout brush can do some pretty impressive things. Crafted with 24-karat gold technology, it delivers even heat distribution in half the time and consistent results regardless of hair type.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: This pick has charcoal-infused bristles, which do a great job of refreshing and reviving second-day hair.

WHAT IT DOES: Designed to work with all hair types, this blow dryer brush tackles common hair concerns like shine, volume, and—most notably—frizz. It has a large oval barrel that creates volume at the roots, while the tourmaline coating emits negative ions to reduce frizz.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: A mix of long and short bristles allows this brush to detangle and smooth as it moves through the hair, minimizing breakage.

WHO IT'S FOR: Because of its paddle shape, this pick is ideal for those that want a smoother, shinier look. It's also a good choice if you want something that'll have you ready in a cinch—it styles a lot faster since it covers a larger surface area than most heated brushes do.

USER REVIEW: "I have always had to straighten my hair after blow-drying because it would be pretty frizzy and fluffy. So I was worried if I bought this, I would still have to straighten my hair some. I was so wrong! Now I just use this product, and I'm done in 10 minutes! It's the best product I've ever bought. It even gives your hair volume like a round brush!"

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: By the time you've booked a few blowouts at the salon, you could've bought this baby already. It uses ionic technology to seal the cuticle for less frizz and more shine when styling, and the strategically placed vents allow for maximum airflow and pro-worthy results. 

USER REVIEW: "I HATE blow drying my hair. I actively avoid it. It takes too long, and it doesn’t look good after. This tool is a game-changer. It dries my whole head in about 10 minutes, and it looks so good. Smooth, shiny, and tons of volume at the roots!"

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Engineered for all hair types and styles, this cult-favorite tool can curl, smooth, wave, and dry—all by attracting and styling the hair with air. No unnecessary heat means less damage and less getting-ready time. We're sold.

USER REVIEW: "WOW. This thing is incredible. It dries my hair in half the time, the brush attachments give me the look of a blowout in literally less than five minutes, and the curling—omg. I have very thick hair that absolutely hates to hold a curl and takes two hours with a regular curling wand. But with this, it took me half an hour to get the best curls of my life."

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Read any of the 215,000-plus reviews on Amazon, and you'll learn that there are many reasons to love this thing. It provides serious volume in record time, works on all hair types (even natural), and can provide everything from sleek strands to full-bodied curls depending on your preference.

WHY WE LOVE IT: "I've had the Revlon One Step for a few years now, and I still love it so much. I've used it on short, medium, and long hair, and it always adds volume and shine in a short amount of time. Pro tip: Use a heat protectant, because it can get hot."—Taylor DeBaylo, Site Merchandising & Affiliate Manager
