Question! I know you have said you are not a fan of the Dyson. But do you have thoughts on the Shark? They claim “no heat damage”. Is that possible?? Thanks!
I love that even though she guessed incorrectly Chris let her use his “time machine” so she could have the best products and tools! Chris genuinely just wanted her to have healthy hair and be happy 😊
Most of the women have straight hair. I tried the Revlon and it didn't work well on the frizzy parts of my hair. I have 3 different textures, wavy, curly and frizzy. It has multiple personalities.
If I could meet you in person, I would totally give you a big hug! Your channel has helped me so much in just the short time I have been watching it. I have had hair thinning since probably about 14 and am 38 now. It started to get worse after several miscarriages the last couple of years and I also lost my father 💔. I had the worst experience 2 years ago. The hair dresser was terrible to me. She came late, but I am a very understanding person. She proceeded to be rude to me about what I was asking for, telling me I would, "need more than that" and, "no one told me I was giving you higlights". Again, I am a very patient person, so I tolerate a lot. What I couldn't take was even after telling her why my hair was suffering with the losses ect, she continued to give me a health lesson and took a mirror and laughed at the state of my hair. "I mean look at it. What happened to it?" It was very invasive. I felt so hurt. I stayed for the appointment cause I was desperate to get my hair done being a busy mother of 2. There is good that came out of that day though. Because of that incident, I don't let people treat me any which way and I gained a back bone. I also have took the time to learn so much about hair care and hair health. Your channel has taught me so much about hair care even down to the correct way to wash my hair. I started using the redken volume injection shampoo and conditioner along with some hair oils and my hair has improved so much. I feel like I'm sounding dramatic, but you have helped my confidence drastically! Thank you for all the help that you give!
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry you went thur that, I’m glad you can see the silver line but no stylist has a right to do that to and client! I’ve done have for 11 years and it’s so sad all the stories I hear :(
Thank you all for the kind replies. I am thankful for UA-cam and all the knowledgeable people. I have learned so much about natural haircare from a lot of people on here.
I wish they would make a blow dry brush that actually directs the airflow downwards. For my hair they give me frizz because the airflow is pushing through the hair instead of down. Love your videos, your research and discussions are always so great!
That is my problem too. My hair is soo frizzy after using a blowdry brush. I use all the reccomended products and styling tips, but I still end up with frizz.
Really great point Sarah. The T3 has more concentrated air flow which helps a little... But they still blow the hair all around. Maybe they'll figure something out in the next year or so 👍
Aww Chris, you are the nicest guy on UA-cam who helps women with their hair, honestly. I really appreciate your honesty! I am so grateful for content like yours. God bless thank you very much :)
This was great 😆 . I would love a video on how to maintain style throughout the week for those of us who sweat bullets working out and need to shower without getting hair totally wet. I use a shower cap but it never quite does enough!
I shower daily but shower cap my hair. Make sure you’re using a shower cap that is lined! Also, for the edges of my hair that usually get wet, I put on a spa headband first (the type with the Velcro) and put the cap on over it. This creates a bit of a seal against water IME. I also make a loose bun with a silk scrunchie to keep my hair from falling out of the edges. I have a widows peak so my hairline isn’t perfectly straight but this routine keeps my style in place.
I would also love to see and learn more about what to do throughout the week. I’ve been following for a few months now and have learned so much but what to do on the days following my blow dry is still a bit of a mystery. Like Aubrey above I also use a headband and then a lined shower cap on top of that. My hair is just between my chin and shoulders. Love your vids & knowledge Chris
I've just purchased my first blow-dry brush, the rotating GAMA Turbo ion, and I have to say I'm more than satisfied. I think if you had added a rotating brush to the challenge, it might have had good chances of winning. The ease and speed of use of a rotating tool is unbelievable!
Chris!! Can you please make a video centered around the use of heat and people with curly hair. During the winter I find it easier to straighten my hair instead of having to deal with it in its curly state. I would love tips and advice of how to properly use heat on curly hair, and how often I can use it. I would greatly appreciate the advice of a professional since there is so much misinformation regarding heat especially when it comes to curly hair. Thanks so much❤❤!
I'd be interested in that too. In winter as soon as I put on a winter hat my curls are gone and it just turns into a frizzy mess, that's why I always straighten it in winter.
I have the Revlon and the Single Shot from Dry Bar. I use them differently, since the single shot is round and the revlon is oval. The Revlon gives me the waves of the blow out look, but the single shot seals my strands better and gives me a more polished look.
This guy is amazing. I’m black with 4c coarse hair I landed here by mistake and wanted to dip out because I thought the hair tips given here would normally mainly work on Caucasian or loose hair type but I was surprised… his tips really work and his my guy to go to for hair advice. Love from England.
Thank you sooo much for these honest and helpful videos! We can tell your main goal is to help us by testing the actual brushes instead of just profiting off of money company would offer you for product placements. Appreciate it! ❤️🙏🏼
If you still have the airwrap could you include the comparable attachment in these videos as it would be interesting to see how each of its functions stand up to the other competitors. Great video as always x
Hey Chris! I would love a video where you talk through the pros and cons of all the brushes you tested in this video as well as other popular brushes. Thanks!
Bought drybar double shot a year ago and fell in love with it. But I returned it because the cost of $155 I just couldn't get over it. Found it yesterday, March 2024, for $55 at Marshalls ❤. ❤😊. It also included complimentary hair care products. They had one new in a sealed box. Guess who took that one home 😀😀😀
Been obsessed with your videos lately! Is there one you have on refreshing/ restyling dirty hair in between washes? Tips and product recommendations for individuals who workout often but don’t want to wash their hair every time? Thank you in advance and appreciate you expertise. You’ve changed my hair game! 🤯🤗
I have the Babyliss and following your hair routine with the products that work for my hair type has changed my hair and it looks the healthiest it has looked in YEARS.
Can I ask what hair type you have and how do you like your babyliss blow dry brush? I am thinking of switching brushes because I prefer the oval shape. My hair is kind of between fine and medium…
Same same and same! I was just looking for some good honest reviews before I buy this, I love the Byliss. I had a reckon for years then spent 300$ on bs I never use. How does it compare to other brands you’ve used? My hair type is similar, straight ish and frizz but I get chemical treatments anyway I really can’t waste any more money on hot air 😂
I think it would be helpful to determine which blow dry brush works best for each hair type. I have all the products you recommended for my hair type and currently use the Revlon blow dry brush but wonder if there is another brush out there like the Amira that might be better for my course thick hair. Thank you for all the information you give to us to help us curly girls get good blow dry results.
@@MariSunshine21 the Amika has anairless setting just using the hot infrared brush once hair is dry halos to smooth out the frizzy but remember not to stop with the hot air as soon as your hair is dry- if you keep going it gets crazy frizzy. then go over each section with the airless setting. I don’t need a flat iron anymore!
I have been looking at the big Amika styling set, rather pricey for an unknown product, now I can feel more confident in the purchase. Thanks for the breakdown :)
a) We need to see the result and both side to compare. We trust you, Chris, but it’s the same as to watch what colour you personally like more. b) We need to know particular criteria used for making the decision and more investigation. Amika is not trustive as their round volumising brush stops working after 6 months according the reviews everywhere and Babyliss one looks and feels cheap, Revlon and Drybar are loud, hair stuck in the connection of the top and the barrel of the Drybar etc.
Just bought the revlon pro 2.0 one, the updated version of the one in this video and used it for the first time today and I really liked it. Luckily I have thin hair and not much of it so it doesn’t take long to dry it so it’s not exposed to the heat for long. I use it on the low setting and it still gets pretty hot so I can’t even imagine what the hot feels like (and I don’t even want to try) or what the old one felt like where lots of people complained about how hot it got. I wouldn’t say it gave my hair lots and lots of volume (my hair is naturally really flat anyway) but it did look great and did have more volume compared to air drying. I’ve noticed too before I bought this that when I used a normal blow dryer, it actually made my hair really flat and I think it’s because it was just blowing my hair all over the place where as with the blow dry brush, as you say, having that tension and pulling and making sure you’re starting from the root down really helps to lift the hair and give it volume with the heat. It’s directing the hair while drying instead of drying it all over the place which is what happened to me with a normal blow dryer.
Yay! I recently purchased the Amika straightening brush, so I’m glad I picked the better tool. It really seems to dry my hair quickly and I do not need to use an additional tool for straightening/smoothing 😊
I have one by Revlon, but it is round, has a smaller diameter and has more flexible bristles. I love it because it gives me perfect curls. I do have to be careful though as it’s pretty hot, I never use the high setting because that’s nuclear hot! I tried this Revlon one he used here and it was scorching hot to me…I returned it immediately.
Chris, that video was so much fun! I was shocked the Babyliss did not win, I know you love their curling iron and flat iron. By the way your trinity system is doing wonders for me. A million thanks.
Love how you are having fun with content creation! When you said that water is a buffer that protects from heat, it made me wonder if the same applies to styling with flat iron? 💇🏻♀️
I just bought the Harry Josh Pro 2000 blow dryer, and it’s hands down THE BEST blow dryer I’ve ever used! I stopped using hair brush dryers because I found I couldn’t control the tension as well as with a classic dryer with round brush.
I still want to try the T3 because of how small the barrel is. I get a lot of frizz at the crown and I think it would help with that. The other brushes are too big and don't get close enough. I end up with a damp scalp and everything else is dry.
I have used blow dry brushes for decades on my chin length blunt bob. I always pre dry my roots and underside of my hair, with a blow dryer, to damp dry before using them. I have normal, straight, thick hair. You're right, the brush won't get close to the scalp and it can stay wet. What works for me may not work for you. Edit to add- I only use small barrel brushes, they work better for my length!
Please educate us about ways to protect the hair when swimming. I want to start swimming as a way to exercise again but I don't know what/if I should put anything in my hair before getting in the pool and if I should do a different hair wash routine on those days. I am sure such a video will be beneficial for many people who swim regularly since just putting on a cap doesn't protect the hair all that much.
Hey Chris! Just wanted to thank you so much for this channel. It has helped me sooo much with my hair and I can feel it really likes it's new routine! I've also gotten alot of positive comments about my hair the last few weeks and it makes me so happy that others can also see the difference. Thanks Chris! Keep up the good work!
Is there a recommended blow-dry brush for each hair type? I have coarse wavy hair and my roomie has fine straight hair. If we don't have to double up on hair tools, the bathroom gets way neater. You already helped us out with the brush collection, so i'm hopeful...😊
One thing that you mentioned is that a couple of the brushes are exactly the same. And in fact it’s just branding. If I recall the dry bar brush is made by the same company that owns revlon, Helen of Troy. And I believe hot tools is as well. There’s very little difference between most of these besides color and branding. The one that stood out is the paddle brush, as most of the brushes are oval and not paddles. I did wonder about t3 being “better” for your hair because it is a bit more advanced in the tech. I a,so wonder if the airwrap is less damaging because of the Dyson tech. I loved the revlon but had to stop because it really damaged my hair. I switched to a regular Dyson hairdryer and my hair is healthier but now there are so many tools it’s annoying!
I love alll your videos! Can you please please do one on how to make fine, long, straight hair actually hold a wave or curl all the way along the length?? This has been the bane of my life for years. Every technique falls flat within hours, especially up higher due to the hair weight. I am certain that if anyone can solve this frustration for us straight-haired girls, it is you!!!
I’m hoping you can do a video of a woman who has a Lisa Rinna hair style. Most of the videos are people long hair. I am curious how you would style someone with her cut, pre dry, blow dry brush, curling iron? She has so much volume on top, how to get it and how to keep it for a couple of days. I have to use so much spray.
The invention of the blow dry brush is the greatest thing that ever happened to my hair. I have very long, curly, thick and coarse hair. It would take me two and a half hours to blow dry it straight. And to keep it straight I would have to wrap it around my head at night. Miami girl so the humidity is real. Last year I treated myself to the Revlon brush. Saw so much hype on You Tube about it. When I say it was life changing I am not kidding. Now I can dry my whole head in thirty minutes versus two and a half hours. Plus my hair stays basically straight for a week - in Miami humidity. The only flaw is it gets super hot. So definitely use a heat protectant. If anyone is on the fence about purchasing a blow dry brush.....stop hesitating and go and buy one. It will transform your life❗❗❗
That's amazing! Blow dry brushes have helped a ton of people have better hair. Definitely one of the best things in the hair industry over the past decade 👍
I got a Hot Tools one (basically a Revlon one in different colours) and it has been a game changer for my doing my hair. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in both my wrists so using this is so much easier on my wrists than using a blow dryer and round brush. I still alternate between the two but my wrists don’t get as sore as often. I also wash my hair every 3 days.
@@sharonperry8978 It must be so difficult to blow dry your hair with rheumatoid arthritis. I have carpal tunnel in both hands so I totally get it. I do not miss the days of using a brush and section-by-section blow drying my long hair. It took forever and was exhausting. I am glad the both of us discovered the blow-dry brushes and made our lives so much easier. Now only if we could find other things to make our life easier wouldn't that be great? 😄
@Sharon Perry I feel the pain. Am a nurse with ra and osteo arthritis. Bought the revlon and such a game changer No more painfulness. A little sore after 20 minutes but that was bearable. Glad it helped you too.🎉
I too love his page and ideas etc I just wish he would have one episode for the ones out here that have thick and coarse hair. Mine is partially straight on top layer but the underneath is so kinky curly and coarse, it's an all out battle. So help us chick's with the coarse hair. Mine is of medium length. In Ky with thick, coarse and frizzy hair, we need hair love here please.
After much deliberation, I purchased the Revlon One Step Volumizer. I have alot of naturally curly fine hair. In the summer, I air dry with curls, but in winter, I need faster solutions! After leave in conditioner, I partially dry the roots and then use the brush on low setting with tension to sectioned hair. When done, I use the cool (cool shot) setting and it calms all of the new growth down. It's a life saver for me. When done, I spray macadamia nut oil and pull it to the ends. Voila! My hair has volume, is soft with little frizz and minimal breakage. Why Chris, is the cool shot feature under used and under rated feature for frizzy hair? Thx😊
I think the region blow dry brush destroyed my hair even more. I lost my son ( stillbirth after medical mistake) in 2019 and wrecked my hair after that by neglect and then I bleached and fried off my natural golden blonde. I am now trying to repair and regrow my hair. Weirdly my ends are fine but my top layers break very high up…
can you address dandruff, chris? is it just a dry scalp or is just because it's dirty? i just started following what you say, but still struggle with dandruff after like a day...😭
Depends if its actually dandruff. Dandruff is usually a more yellow color, but some people mistake their dry scalp as dandruff, so it's two separate things.
thanks for sharing all your knowledge, i can't believe the change in my hair, i added the purology leave in conditionair and the redken frizz tame before blowout and it's wonderful. my hair looks amazing. thank you
I just discovered you over the weekend and have been binging your videos. I think you’re the only person I trust on this website lol. You just give facts. No beating around the bush. I wish you were my hair dresser haha
Hey Chris. Such a fun video to watch! At the end you suggest viewers get a blow dry brush that works for their hair type. Can you please tell us what hair type your model Melissa has? Also, please do a video that shows how you use this tool on your model from start to finish.
i bought the dry bar brush but actually i hadnt seen your video at the time. i like it so far so i glad that you consider it a good product because ive been taking your advice on my other products.
HELLO from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 I’m so glad I found you a couple of months ago, and thank GOD I had a healthy routine the thing is I’m on Morrocanoil REPAIR only, I will have to expand. PLEASE can you include now and then hair care advice to the ones who have coarse hair and straight it periodically with hair straightener cream, and colored it? Thank you so much. You are by far the best adviser I’ve found. The real Professor!!
What about rotating styling brushes? I picked one up at a TJMaxx for nearly nothing that lasted nearly 5 years. It had a 3-inch ceramic barrel, mixed boar bristles, 3 heat settings plus cool shot and an extra long cord. It turned super smoothly. Sadly, it finally died, and I couldn't find an identical replacement. I did find different one from a well-known brand that isn't remotely as good.
I had the original Revlon and loved it but I it ruined my hair. Their latest model has heat settings that the original did not. it was way too hot for my fairly thin hair. I may give the new model a try.
I needed a bdry brush to use for one-handed styling after shoulder surgery on my dominant arm😩 I have, fine, thinning hair with more gray than I can stand..those hairs get frizzy. And I live in HouTX..frizz capitol of the world. I’ll try one of these. I got a cheap imitation of a Dyson w attachments & began to use it constantly. The round brush bristle attachment was very damaging. Now I use the flat rubber bristle attachment. Think I need an upgrade. Weight of the tool is now an issue..:( I’m new here. Though hair obsessed for decades, I’m learning so much! Great channel!
I got the t3 and did not love it . I’m sending it back. I have thick, wavy long hair that gets frizzy and I also lots of it. I usually get no more than two BB a year and I need something in between blowouts. I’m going to try the drybar.
Im not really using it now bc I cut my hair short but I have a drybar and when I was using it I absolutely loved it. I change my hair frequently so I will be holding on to it - it makes drying with a brush so much easier!!
We sell the babyliss hot brush at my work. and I work in a hair and beauty wholesaler. Hot brushes are the least electrical product we sell. Why? Its not powerful enough. It's only 700 watts and if you have very curly hair and want to dry it straight then this product is definitely a no-go. Most of our clients opt for a hairdryer and usually a Parlux.
Thank you for yet another great and informative video. I have applied your tips into my haircare routine and my hair has been so much more healthier. Would it be possible to do the same routine but on someone with wavy/curly/coarse hair? Would be interesting to see if the same hair brush is the winner
Hi! I’m so happy I found your channel a few months ago! Wanted to know your opinion on some TikTok videos in which dermatologists talk about scientific proof that you need to blow-dry your hair to prevent damage, that leaving your hair air-dry is more damaging. Can you give your opinion? I would also want to thank you for helping us treat our hair better and have a really beautiful and healthy one, I believe we all appreciate it ❤
Thanks been using the Redken Volume injection Shampoo and conditoner and Redken blowout and been following your tips on shampoo my hair feels and looks better.🤗
Hey! Great concept but the edit made the results reveal too choppy, short, and unclear. Can you recut this please so it's cleaner by adding extra frames or slowing down the speed so we can actually see the result instead of the happy beavers? Your videos normally have great content and are very helpful!
Early bird! Can we please see a classic blowout? I already have a great dryer and brush and I’m just not interested in spending money on a new hair tool 😅
I've had the Drybar Brush for a little more than a year now and my hair is long and fine but curly. I find the smaller bristles on the Drybar brush started bending after only the first few uses and now they are basically completelt bent which doesnt help for the smoothing aspect of the blow dry brush. I really wish the bristles were more stiff.
What type of hair does she have? Do any of the hair types have overlapping recommendations for blow dry brushes like in cleansing and styling products?
What about the L'ange blow dryer brushes? There's the regular one and now they have one that is shaped like a tear drop to get closer to the roots. How does that one compare to the Revlon?
I’m a hairstylist and I love my little harry josh dryer cute but powerful 😊 nice to see you have one too I don’t know many that are familiar with the brand
So, which blow dry brush do you recommend for shorter hair? I used the revlon one step yesterday for the first time, and currently my hair is about 1/2 an inch above my shoulders, very fine, naturally curly but mostly worn straight, and FINALLY not sporting very much damage at all, even after a major incident a couple years ago causing a lot of my hair to basically just melt off. ( my hair is doing so much better now, with a huge thanks to your videos and heaven sent hair care routine recommendations 😅🙏🏼). I prepped with a leave in conditioner after my shower, small amount of argan oil just on my ends while hair was still wet, wrapped smoothly and tightly with microfiber towel till it was damp, as i like to avoid as much heat as possible whenever possible. Then followed with kenra blow dry spray, and then finally the revlon one step. While i absolutely fell in love with how soft, healthy and shiny my hair looked, that barrel is rather large, when working with short hair. So there ended up being a LOT of flipping out at the ends, mostly in different ways as i used tension in just about every direction, to keep the movement and not have my bob looking so…flat and stuck in one place, as it sometimes likes to do. I stopped once i felt my hair start warming up, but at that point i didn’t really want to have to use my flat iron, as that’s just more heat. So, I’m on the hunt for a smaller barreled one, but with comparable results. Any recommendations?
I have one I LOVE by L'ange, have you ever heard of it? Turned my hairdresser onto it. No I don't sell lol, just found one for my long thick crazy hair that really worked wonders for someone who has to left hands 🙂
My Recommended Product List :)

I'm so sorry a hairdresser treated you this way. This is totally disrespectful and unprofessional.
Thank you all for the kind replies. I am thankful for UA-cam and all the knowledgeable people. I have learned so much about natural haircare from a lot of people on here.
I think we all would hug him!
I’m sorry she was so rotten. You came in vulnerable and looking for assistance. I hope that woman gets treated the same on day and maybe she’ll learn.
I would love to see curly or wavy haired models to demonstrate these dryers.
I wish they would make a blow dry brush that actually directs the airflow downwards. For my hair they give me frizz because the airflow is pushing through the hair instead of down. Love your videos, your research and discussions are always so great!
That is my problem too. My hair is soo frizzy after using a blowdry brush. I use all the reccomended products and styling tips, but I still end up with frizz.
Really great point Sarah. The T3 has more concentrated air flow which helps a little... But they still blow the hair all around. Maybe they'll figure something out in the next year or so 👍
@@BlowoutProfessor maybe that can be your next venture!
For me helps to control that hair completely wraps blow dryer brush. And top section I dry with had down to reduce frizz
How do I get tension with fine hair. I don’t think I am doing it the right way.
Could you do a video on grey hair care? The texture changes so much, I feel lost.
Yes! I'd be interested in any advise you have about any differences in routine that naturaly grey/white hair needs.
Aww Chris, you are the nicest guy on UA-cam who helps women with their hair, honestly. I really appreciate your honesty! I am so grateful for content like yours. God bless thank you very much :)

I felt so bad, and then you did the rewind for her, and I thought that was so sweet!!! ❤️
Thank you sooo much for these honest and helpful videos! We can tell your main goal is to help us by testing the actual brushes instead of just profiting off of money company would offer you for product placements. Appreciate it! ❤️🙏🏼
If you still have the airwrap could you include the comparable attachment in these videos as it would be interesting to see how each of its functions stand up to the other competitors. Great video as always x
Hey Chris! I would love a video where you talk through the pros and cons of all the brushes you tested in this video as well as other popular brushes. Thanks!
Bought drybar double shot a year ago and fell in love with it. But I returned it because the cost of $155 I just couldn't get over it.
Found it yesterday, March 2024, for $55 at Marshalls ❤. ❤😊. It also included complimentary hair care products. They had one new in a sealed box. Guess who took that one home 😀😀😀
Been obsessed with your videos lately! Is there one you have on refreshing/ restyling dirty hair in between washes? Tips and product recommendations for individuals who workout often but don’t want to wash their hair every time?
Thank you in advance and appreciate you expertise. You’ve changed my hair game! 🤯🤗
I have the Babyliss and following your hair routine with the products that work for my hair type has changed my hair and it looks the healthiest it has looked in YEARS.
Can I ask what hair type you have and how do you like your babyliss blow dry brush? I am thinking of switching brushes because I prefer the oval shape. My hair is kind of between fine and medium…
@@Jessicanadine1985 my hair is fine to medium and chemically treated and shoulder length.
@@Krazieblond1983 Haha we're twinsies! Same and same. THANK YOU!
Same same and same! I was just looking for some good honest reviews before I buy this, I love the Byliss. I had a reckon for years then spent 300$ on bs I never use. How does it compare to other brands you’ve used? My hair type is similar, straight ish and frizz but I get chemical treatments anyway I really can’t waste any more money on hot air 😂
I think it would be helpful to determine which blow dry brush works best for each hair type. I have all the products you recommended for my hair type and currently use the Revlon blow dry brush but wonder if there is another brush out there like the Amira that might be better for my course thick hair. Thank you for all the information you give to us to help us curly girls get good blow dry results.
Exactly, with my fine curly hair I think the airflow blowing the hair strands out makes it frizzy.
@@MariSunshine21 the Amika has anairless setting just using the hot infrared brush once hair is dry halos to smooth out the frizzy but remember not to stop with the hot air as soon as your hair is dry- if you keep going it gets crazy frizzy. then go over each section with the airless setting. I don’t need a flat iron anymore!
I have been looking at the big Amika styling set, rather pricey for an unknown product, now I can feel more confident in the purchase. Thanks for the breakdown :)
a) We need to see the result and both side to compare. We trust you, Chris, but it’s the same as to watch what colour you personally like more.
b) We need to know particular criteria used for making the decision and more investigation. Amika is not trustive as their round volumising brush stops working after 6 months according the reviews everywhere and Babyliss one looks and feels cheap, Revlon and Drybar are loud, hair stuck in the connection of the top and the barrel of the Drybar etc.
Just bought the revlon pro 2.0 one, the updated version of the one in this video and used it for the first time today and I really liked it. Luckily I have thin hair and not much of it so it doesn’t take long to dry it so it’s not exposed to the heat for long. I use it on the low setting and it still gets pretty hot so I can’t even imagine what the hot feels like (and I don’t even want to try) or what the old one felt like where lots of people complained about how hot it got. I wouldn’t say it gave my hair lots and lots of volume (my hair is naturally really flat anyway) but it did look great and did have more volume compared to air drying. I’ve noticed too before I bought this that when I used a normal blow dryer, it actually made my hair really flat and I think it’s because it was just blowing my hair all over the place where as with the blow dry brush, as you say, having that tension and pulling and making sure you’re starting from the root down really helps to lift the hair and give it volume with the heat. It’s directing the hair while drying instead of drying it all over the place which is what happened to me with a normal blow dryer.
Yay! I recently purchased the Amika straightening brush, so I’m glad I picked the better tool. It really seems to dry my hair quickly and I do not need to use an additional tool for straightening/smoothing 😊
Did you notice if it helped with frizz?
I have one by Revlon, but it is round, has a smaller diameter and has more flexible bristles. I love it because it gives me perfect curls. I do have to be careful though as it’s pretty hot, I never use the high setting because that’s nuclear hot! I tried this Revlon one he used here and it was scorching hot to me…I returned it immediately.
I used the Revlon on the lowest setting and it fried my hair. I had to toss it.
Same. It was awful for my hair.
Chris, that video was so much fun! I was shocked the Babyliss did not win, I know you love their curling iron and flat iron. By the way your trinity system is doing wonders for me. A million thanks.
Love how you are having fun with content creation! When you said that water is a buffer that protects from heat, it made me wonder if the same applies to styling with flat iron? 💇🏻♀️
I’m not sure if I understood your question correctly, but you should not use a flat iron on damp hair, only on completely dry hair.
Its only bcoz of u i have fabulous hair today.. without nasty chemical treatments..be Blessed!
Amika also has a round blow dryer brush, next to the flat one you tried. Now I don't know which one to pick 😱
I just bought the Harry Josh Pro 2000 blow dryer, and it’s hands down THE BEST blow dryer I’ve ever used! I stopped using hair brush dryers because I found I couldn’t control the tension as well as with a classic dryer with round brush.
I still want to try the T3 because of how small the barrel is. I get a lot of frizz at the crown and I think it would help with that. The other brushes are too big and don't get close enough. I end up with a damp scalp and everything else is dry.
I have used blow dry brushes for decades on my chin length blunt bob. I always pre dry my roots and underside of my hair, with a blow dryer, to damp dry before using them. I have normal, straight, thick hair. You're right, the brush won't get close to the scalp and it can stay wet. What works for me may not work for you. Edit to add- I only use small barrel brushes, they work better for my length!
Hot Tools has a smaller diameter blow dry brush on Amazon. Less than 30$. That is the reason I bought it.
Please educate us about ways to protect the hair when swimming. I want to start swimming as a way to exercise again but I don't know what/if I should put anything in my hair before getting in the pool and if I should do a different hair wash routine on those days. I am sure such a video will be beneficial for many people who swim regularly since just putting on a cap doesn't protect the hair all that much.
I have the Revlon more oval shaped one but recently I got the round one and I prefer it. Gives my ends more curl.
Hey Chris! Just wanted to thank you so much for this channel. It has helped me sooo much with my hair and I can feel it really likes it's new routine! I've also gotten alot of positive comments about my hair the last few weeks and it makes me so happy that others can also see the difference. Thanks Chris! Keep up the good work!
Thank you - this was fun! Also good to know that I do have the best of the budget options with the Revlon.
Is there a recommended blow-dry brush for each hair type? I have coarse wavy hair and my roomie has fine straight hair. If we don't have to double up on hair tools, the bathroom gets way neater. You already helped us out with the brush collection, so i'm hopeful...😊
One thing that you mentioned is that a couple of the brushes are exactly the same. And in fact it’s just branding. If I recall the dry bar brush is made by the same company that owns revlon, Helen of Troy. And I believe hot tools is as well. There’s very little difference between most of these besides color and branding. The one that stood out is the paddle brush, as most of the brushes are oval and not paddles. I did wonder about t3 being “better” for your hair because it is a bit more advanced in the tech. I a,so wonder if the airwrap is less damaging because of the Dyson tech. I loved the revlon but had to stop because it really damaged my hair. I switched to a regular Dyson hairdryer and my hair is healthier but now there are so many tools it’s annoying!
I love alll your videos! Can you please please do one on how to make fine, long, straight hair actually hold a wave or curl all the way along the length?? This has been the bane of my life for years. Every technique falls flat within hours, especially up higher due to the hair weight. I am certain that if anyone can solve this frustration for us straight-haired girls, it is you!!!
I’m hoping you can do a video of a woman who has a Lisa Rinna hair style. Most of the videos are people long hair. I am curious how you would style someone with her cut, pre dry, blow dry brush, curling iron? She has so much volume on top, how to get it and how to keep it for a couple of days. I have to use so much spray.
The invention of the blow dry brush is the greatest thing that ever happened to my hair. I have very long, curly, thick and coarse hair. It would take me two and a half hours to blow dry it straight. And to keep it straight I would have to wrap it around my head at night. Miami girl so the humidity is real.
Last year I treated myself to the Revlon brush. Saw so much hype on You Tube about it. When I say it was life changing I am not kidding. Now I can dry my whole head in thirty minutes versus two and a half hours. Plus my hair stays basically straight for a week - in Miami humidity. The only flaw is it gets super hot. So definitely use a heat protectant. If anyone is on the fence about purchasing a blow dry brush.....stop hesitating and go and buy one. It will transform your life❗❗❗
That's amazing! Blow dry brushes have helped a ton of people have better hair. Definitely one of the best things in the hair industry over the past decade 👍
I got a Hot Tools one (basically a Revlon one in different colours) and it has been a game changer for my doing my hair. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in both my wrists so using this is so much easier on my wrists than using a blow dryer and round brush. I still alternate between the two but my wrists don’t get as sore as often. I also wash my hair every 3 days.
@@sharonperry8978
It must be so difficult to blow dry your hair with rheumatoid arthritis. I have carpal tunnel in both hands so I totally get it. I do not miss the days of using a brush and section-by-section blow drying my long hair. It took forever and was exhausting. I am glad the both of us discovered the blow-dry brushes and made our lives so much easier. Now only if we could find other things to make our life easier wouldn't that be great? 😄
@Sharon Perry I feel the pain. Am a nurse with ra and osteo arthritis. Bought the revlon and such a game changer
No more painfulness. A little sore after 20 minutes but that was bearable. Glad it helped you too.🎉
im so glad that i discover your page. love your non BS reviews & helpful tips!
🙏
I too love his page and ideas etc I just wish he would have one episode for the ones out here that have thick and coarse hair. Mine is partially straight on top layer but the underneath is so kinky curly and coarse, it's an all out battle. So help us chick's with the coarse hair. Mine is of medium length. In Ky with thick, coarse and frizzy hair, we need hair love here please.
I have the drybar and it truly is the best hair tool I’ve ever used.
After much deliberation, I purchased the Revlon One Step Volumizer. I have alot of naturally curly fine hair. In the summer, I air dry with curls, but in winter, I need faster solutions! After leave in conditioner, I partially dry the roots and then use the brush on low setting with tension to sectioned hair. When done, I use the cool (cool shot) setting and it calms all of the new growth down. It's a life saver for me. When done, I spray macadamia nut oil and pull it to the ends. Voila! My hair has volume, is soft with little frizz and minimal breakage. Why Chris, is the cool shot feature under used and under rated feature for frizzy hair? Thx😊
I think the region blow dry brush destroyed my hair even more. I lost my son ( stillbirth after medical mistake) in 2019 and wrecked my hair after that by neglect and then I bleached and fried off my natural golden blonde.
I am now trying to repair and regrow my hair. Weirdly my ends are fine but my top layers break very high up…
can you address dandruff, chris? is it just a dry scalp or is just because it's dirty? i just started following what you say, but still struggle with dandruff after like a day...😭
Depends if its actually dandruff. Dandruff is usually a more yellow color, but some people mistake their dry scalp as dandruff, so it's two separate things.
Omg the production quality and edits are so good!!! love that your channel is growing and getting better each video 💓
thanks for sharing all your knowledge, i can't believe the change in my hair, i added the purology leave in conditionair and the redken frizz tame before blowout and it's wonderful. my hair looks amazing. thank you
Can you do a video about Round brushes for each type of hair 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 please
I just discovered you over the weekend and have been binging your videos. I think you’re the only person I trust on this website lol. You just give facts. No beating around the bush. I wish you were my hair dresser haha
Hey Chris. Such a fun video to watch! At the end you suggest viewers get a blow dry brush that works for their hair type. Can you please tell us what hair type your model Melissa has? Also, please do a video that shows how you use this tool on your model from start to finish.
What causes less damage when used regularly: a blow dry brush or a straightening brush?
The editing deserves an award ❤
i bought the dry bar brush but actually i hadnt seen your video at the time. i like it so far so i glad that you consider it a good product because ive been taking your advice on my other products.
HELLO from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 I’m so glad I found you a couple of months ago, and thank GOD I had a healthy routine the thing is I’m on Morrocanoil REPAIR only, I will have to expand.
PLEASE can you include now and then hair care advice to the ones who have coarse hair and straight it periodically with hair straightener cream, and colored it?
Thank you so much.
You are by far the best adviser I’ve found. The real Professor!!
What about rotating styling brushes? I picked one up at a TJMaxx for nearly nothing that lasted nearly 5 years. It had a 3-inch ceramic barrel, mixed boar bristles, 3 heat settings plus cool shot and an extra long cord. It turned super smoothly. Sadly, it finally died, and I couldn't find an identical replacement. I did find different one from a well-known brand that isn't remotely as good.
I had the original Revlon and loved it but I it ruined my hair. Their latest model has heat settings that the original did not. it was way too hot for my fairly thin hair. I may give the new model a try.
I needed a bdry brush to use for one-handed styling after shoulder surgery on my dominant arm😩
I have, fine, thinning hair with more gray than I can stand..those hairs get frizzy. And I live in HouTX..frizz capitol of the world.
I’ll try one of these.
I got a cheap imitation of a Dyson w attachments & began to use it constantly. The round brush bristle attachment was very damaging. Now I use the flat rubber bristle attachment.
Think I need an upgrade.
Weight of the tool is now an issue..:(
I’m new here.
Though hair obsessed for decades, I’m learning so much!
Great channel!
We need a review of the airwraps!! Dyson and shark!!!
Love this video super informative!
Can you do a video about the best hair brushes for each hair type
Why are the handles so wide? I have a problem with that. Is there one that works great but handle is narrower?
I love your videos not only are they informative but so FUNNY! Thank you
This was so fun and informative! Thanks!
Awesome! Hoped it would be :) first time doing a video like this 👍
What a fun video! Just bought the drybar single shot today
I got the t3 and did not love it . I’m sending it back. I have thick, wavy long hair that gets frizzy and I also lots of it. I usually get no more than two BB a year and I need something in between blowouts. I’m going to try the drybar.
God I am obsessed with his videos!!! They gave so much good info!!!!
Im not really using it now bc I cut my hair short but I have a drybar and when I was using it I absolutely loved it. I change my hair frequently so I will be holding on to it - it makes drying with a brush so much easier!!
I have the amika and drybar blow dry brush. I love both. I also love amika hair products like their shampoo and conditioners
We sell the babyliss hot brush at my work. and I work in a hair and beauty wholesaler. Hot brushes are the least electrical product we sell. Why? Its not powerful enough. It's only 700 watts and if you have very curly hair and want to dry it straight then this product is definitely a no-go. Most of our clients opt for a hairdryer and usually a Parlux.
Flat Iron Curls. Which is less damaging? Lower temperature with longer pass or Higher temperature and quicker pass. Any thoughts???
Im going to try the paddle brush in my T3. best of both worlds !!
Thank you for yet another great and informative video. I have applied your tips into my haircare routine and my hair has been so much more healthier. Would it be possible to do the same routine but on someone with wavy/curly/coarse hair? Would be interesting to see if the same hair brush is the winner
What a fun video lol she had so much fun and you could feel the game show tension Lol!! Great job, you make informative videos so much fun!
Thank you, now I know why I get damaged hair every time I use my blow-dry brush!
I envy you for having a time machine. I’d like to borrow it one day.
LOL. Comes in handy :)
Hi! I’m so happy I found your channel a few months ago! Wanted to know your opinion on some TikTok videos in which dermatologists talk about scientific proof that you need to blow-dry your hair to prevent damage, that leaving your hair air-dry is more damaging. Can you give your opinion? I would also want to thank you for helping us treat our hair better and have a really beautiful and healthy one, I believe we all appreciate it ❤
Can Kerastase thermique (architecte) count as a leave in contidioner other than therm. Prot.?
I wish they would have tested the Hot Tools 24K with the charcoal bristles. My favorite.
Me too that’s the one I use and really like it
Thanks been using the Redken Volume injection Shampoo and conditoner and Redken blowout and been following your tips on shampoo my hair feels and looks better.🤗
I just bought the Bondi Boost (pronounced Bond-eye). Too bad it didn't get a higher score but for the price it's decent and I'm still learning.
Hey! Great concept but the edit made the results reveal too choppy, short, and unclear. Can you recut this please so it's cleaner by adding extra frames or slowing down the speed so we can actually see the result instead of the happy beavers? Your videos normally have great content and are very helpful!
Awww, that was nice of you! The time machine
Great video!!
Which one is less damaging for the hair, a blow dry brush, or a round brush with normal blow dryer?
Thank you!
Early bird! Can we please see a classic blowout? I already have a great dryer and brush and I’m just not interested in spending money on a new hair tool 😅
He has other videos talking about it...look in the previous videos. 🙂
I've been thinking about doing a classic bouncy 90s blowout since that's back in style if you're interested in that?
@@BlowoutProfessor absolutely!
@@BlowoutProfessor yyyyeeessssss
I've had the Drybar Brush for a little more than a year now and my hair is long and fine but curly. I find the smaller bristles on the Drybar brush started bending after only the first few uses and now they are basically completelt bent which doesnt help for the smoothing aspect of the blow dry brush. I really wish the bristles were more stiff.
I love your videos. This was so fun! Good job Melissa!
What type of hair does she have? Do any of the hair types have overlapping recommendations for blow dry brushes like in cleansing and styling products?
I have been using the revlon brush for the last 2 years and it’s pretty good. Could it be better? Definitely!
Honestly for the price is a really solid tool 👍
Which is best winner and cause less damage hair
What about the L'ange blow dryer brushes? There's the regular one and now they have one that is shaped like a tear drop to get closer to the roots. How does that one compare to the Revlon?
I get use mu blow dry brush for ny clients to dry thier hair. I never get to use them until I watched this channel 1.5 months ago. Thnks for the idea!
I’m a hairstylist and I love my little harry josh dryer cute but powerful 😊 nice to see you have one too I don’t know many that are familiar with the brand
The dry bar definitely looked like the best one
I’ve always liked their hair care products
Nice format! She was so excited! Fun to watch. 🎉
So, which blow dry brush do you recommend for shorter hair? I used the revlon one step yesterday for the first time, and currently my hair is about 1/2 an inch above my shoulders, very fine, naturally curly but mostly worn straight, and FINALLY not sporting very much damage at all, even after a major incident a couple years ago causing a lot of my hair to basically just melt off. ( my hair is doing so much better now, with a huge thanks to your videos and heaven sent hair care routine recommendations 😅🙏🏼). I prepped with a leave in conditioner after my shower, small amount of argan oil just on my ends while hair was still wet, wrapped smoothly and tightly with microfiber towel till it was damp, as i like to avoid as much heat as possible whenever possible. Then followed with kenra blow dry spray, and then finally the revlon one step. While i absolutely fell in love with how soft, healthy and shiny my hair looked, that barrel is rather large, when working with short hair. So there ended up being a LOT of flipping out at the ends, mostly in different ways as i used tension in just about every direction, to keep the movement and not have my bob looking so…flat and stuck in one place, as it sometimes likes to do. I stopped once i felt my hair start warming up, but at that point i didn’t really want to have to use my flat iron, as that’s just more heat. So, I’m on the hunt for a smaller barreled one, but with comparable results. Any recommendations?
I have one I LOVE by L'ange, have you ever heard of it? Turned my hairdresser onto it. No I don't sell lol, just found one for my long thick crazy hair that really worked wonders for someone who has to left hands 🙂
Can you compare Dyson and shark new products please ❤
This was so much fun! Really enjoyed. Thanks!
Is there a vegan alternative to the redkin blowout Jel?
