The Results Are In! The Best Hot Air Brushs of 2017

If you’re not familiar with the hot air brush, it’s time to get on board with a styling sensation. They haven’t been around for long, but they are already super popular and have started to change the way ladies do their hair. Essentially, a hot air brush is a combination hairdryer and hairbrush. It looks like a brush, but it plugs into a power supply, and hot air is channeled through the middle.

The idea is that, with a hot air brush, you don’t have to try and dry and brush at the same time. If you’ve ever had to do this, you’ll know that it is tricky. Holding a hot dryer in one hand and a brush or comb in the other is awkward, to say the least. It can also be tough to reach the back of the head, so that area can end up seeming more unkempt than the rest. Not with this exciting new invention though.

We’ve compiled a list of our five favorite hot air brushes in 2017. Take a look, take your pick, and get styling.

The Vidal Sassoon VS433C Tangle-Free Hot Air Brush is a no frills styling device which is sturdy, reliable, and gets the job done. The snag release function ensures that hair never gets trapped around the barrel.

For a great travel brush, try the Jon Frieda Hot Air Brush. It is super lightweight and compact, which makes it perfect for slipping into a suitcase.

The ConAir Supreme 2-in-1 Hot Air Styling Brush is one of the most versatile tools on the market. It comes with two interchangeable heads, and one is a curling tool, so you can create bouncy waves or tight ringlets in no time at all.

In our opinion, the Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Hot Air Curling Brush offers the best build quality. This likely means that it is one of the sturdiest and most long lasting of the products on our list.

The ConAir Bc178 Infiniti Pro Spin Air Rotating hot brush Styler is a little heavier than the other brushes, but it makes up for this by having a super-ergonomic design. It can be used in both hands, so if one wrist gets tired, just switch it to the other and carry on styling.

When searching for the best hot air brush, you should pay attention to price, features, size, and performance. This superb Vidal Sassoon VS433C Brush is a no nonsense kind of product, but we like that. It is reasonably priced, does a good job, and it is easy to use. With this hot air brush, you can create curls, voluminous body, or straight, sleek tresses.

The innovative curl release button is a particularly fine addition. If you press it, the vented barrel rotates to dislodge trapped hair without any pulling or tugging required. This is a really important feature for ladies with thick or curly hair. You’re not causing any damage, and your styling session is guaranteed not to turn into a brush with a torture device.

The brush head can be removed in seconds, and this allows you to empty the air intake compartment. You do need to do this on a regular basis, or the brush could overheat and malfunction. It is a minor frustration, but it only takes a few seconds, and it is worth it to get your hands on such a quality styling product.

A good contender for the best hot air brush is this clever gadget from John Frieda. It creates volume and shine while drying. However, depending on how you angle and use the brush, it can also produce sleek straight hair, romantic curls, retro style waves, and more. By combining ionic technology and a titanium ceramic barrel, this device delivers fast, effective results.

The first thing to know is that it is very affordable. When you consider the salon like effects which it can produce, the price tag is modest for such a high-end brush. The revolutionary ionic system locks in hydration and helps the hair stay smooth and shiny. There is less frizz, fewer split ends, and no limp lengths.

Once you’ve finished drying, you can use the cool button to get a blast of cold air. This is great for setting a style and making sure that it lasts as long as possible. While there are only two heat settings (high and low), they will be suitable for everybody but those with ultra-fine tresses. Unlike the Vidal Sassoon air brush, there is no curl release mechanism, so prepare to do your own untangling.

The Conair Supreme is great value for money because it functions as a dual tool. It has two detachable heads; one styling brush and one styling iron. So, you can create a broad variety of styles with this hot air brush. It is perfect for ladies who want to maximize the number of features that they’re getting in a single device.

If you buy this brush, you won’t have to invest in a separate curling iron. You can just flip the lock dial and switch the heads around in a matter of seconds. Once secured, slide the dial back into position, and the head will be prevented from moving around while you dry. This brush heats up very quickly, which is good news for girls with busy lifestyles.

It comes with its own safety stand. You’re advised to keep the brush on this stand when you’re not using it. Tucking the cord away is easy because it is tangle resistant. It swivels at the base of the handle so it cannot twist around itself. Like most of the hot air brushes on the market, the Conair curling brush has only two heat settings (high and low).

This is one of the more expensive products on our list, but we’re very fond of Babyliss and know that they create amazing styling tools. The Pro Nano Rotating Air Brush is no exception. The clever ionic technology controls frizz and ensures that hair always ends up sleek and shiny after drying. When combined with the infrared heat system, there’s no head too unruly for this super gadget.

It is one of only a handful of high street air brushes with more than two settings. This variation allows for greater customization and more control. The rotating two-inch barrel increases volume and vigor, while also providing a quick drying experience. The handle is easy to grip and, as the brush is fairly lightweight, you shouldn’t get an achy wrist while using it.

What is clear about the Babyliss Pro Nano brush is that it is made with very high-quality materials. Often, even if the performance of a styling device is satisfactory, the general handling of the tool can feel a bit flimsy. This is not the case here and, while the superior quality is reflected in a higher price tag, we reckon that it is worth the extra cash.

There are lots of glowing reviews online for this next product, and many ladies are happy to call it the best hot air brush they have ever used. The ConAir Infiniti Pro is a round hairbrush with a rotating barrel and sleek ergonomic design. This device is much easier to use with one hand than some of the other brushes on the market, which makes it highly practical.

You should have no trouble wielding this brush in one hand and sipping coffee, checking your emails, or texting friends at the same time. If that weren’t enough, the spinning barrel has been carefully shaped and configured to allow for ambidextrous use. In other words, it works just as well when held in the right hand as it does with the left.

If you’re styling for a long time and your wrist gets tired, just switch to the other hand. Similarly, the slightly shorter barrel makes it really easy to reach awkward areas like the back of the head. Static resistant bristles fight frizz and make sure that hair is always left smooth and shiny. Plus, there are adjustable heat settings and a number of different spin functions for greater versatility and control over your styles.

The hot air brush is a very modern invention. It fits very neatly with our busy lives and schedules. When you’re rushing to get ready for work in the morning or trying to make a hot date, it is an invaluable tool. Not only does the hot air brush combine styling and drying, but it also enhances the overall quality of your hairstyles by minimizing exposure to heat.

You’re only putting your tresses through one intense styling process, instead of the usual two. They can be tricky to master at first, particularly if you are not used to producing curls and waves with a brush, but salon perfect hair is guaranteed once you do get the hang of it. Just make sure that you pick a brush with snag and frizz free technology.
