Achieve a salon worthy blow out in the comfort of your own home with the John Frieda Hot Air Brush. The multi-heat and cool down settings ensure long-lasting, professional results. Plus, the titanium ceramic barrel allows for even heat distribution. Over 10,000 reviewers on Amazon are obsessed!

In Beauty Lab evaluations, we found that this efficient hair dryer brush reached a maximum temperature of 167°F over five minutes of use, nearly 100ºF lower than the competition to prevent hair from getting overly exposed to heat while still effectively styling hair. Weighing in at just under a pound, our tester found it comfortable to hold and that the brush combed easily through her hair, nabbing it a spot as a 2020 Beauty Award winner.

If your arm gets tired from pulling hair round and round, snag this pick that does the work for you. The brush eliminates frizz thanks to a powerful Ion generator. Additionally, the tourmaline ceramic technology dries damp strands and adds lasting shine.

This innovative brush has ionic technology and anti-static bristles reducing frizz and enhancing shine with every pass. Customize your styling session with one of the three temperature settings to prevent over-heating thin strands. This one is meant to be used as the last step of your styling routine to put the final touches and smooth out any traces of frizz: Hair should be at least 80% dry, which also minimizes the risk of damaging hair since wet hair is more susceptible to breaking. 

Get polished strands in minutes with this Hot Tools styler. There is a rotating temperature control with three heat settings and vent platforms for faster drying on even super thick strands. One Amazon reviewer said, "I have incredibly thick and wavy hair and this was unbelievably fast for me. It actually took less time than a flat iron!"

The mixed pattern bristles of Bed Head's brush gives hair height and body every time. The longer plastic bristles detangle hair while the shorter, bushier bristles smooth hair into a glossy sheet. The shape of the brush makes it simple to lift from the roots and create a smooth style, stat! 

In addition to two 1.2-inch barrels and two 1.6-inch barrels for curling, the dryer comes with attachments for blowing out hair straight, including a pre-styling dryer, a firm smoothing brush, a soft smoothing brush and a round volumizing brush. What makes it even more amazing? It combines powerful airflow with controlled heat to dry your hair as it styles with less damage, making a favorite in the GH Beauty Lab.

This hot tool doesn't dry hair, but it employs the same usability as a hair dryer brush with its round brush design that lifts hair from the roots for a sleek, volumous style. It maintains a steady 365ºF to prevent excessive heat damage, and the half-centimeter cool-tip nylon bristles allow for close contact with hair's roots without burning the scalp to allow for maximum lift and smooth snag-free styling.

Another fan favorite from Revlon, this traditional round brush dryer allows you to dry and smooth even coarse, unruly hair easily and effectively. There are two attachments: A 1-inch barrel to create super sleek style or tighter curls, and a 1 ½ -inch barrel to create polished waves. Since the brush might be harsh on hair, the brand recommends using this tool on hair that's "slightly damp not wet."
