Hot Tools Pro Artist Hot Air Styling Brush | Style, Curl and Touch Ups (1”) Black

I love this hot air styler! I use it to style my heat resistant wigs and it ever so gently straightens, curls and tames my wigs. Well worth the money and works very well.

Works great on my straight hair. Why did you pick this product vs others?:Didn’t take long to curl. Waited until my hair was dry.

This works well to dry and style my hair at the same time -- much the same as a stylist working with a blow dryer and round brush, but requiring less coordination. Others have found the tool underpowered, but it works fine on my hair, which is thin and fine. I deducted a star for the wild goose chase I encountered while trying to register the warranty. The enclosed instructions refer to a page on the manufacturer's website which is no longer there. Instead, we are supposed to call customer service to register the product. You can imagine how well that works.

I love this blower brush. I had one years and years ago I have been trying to replace for probably 20 years. I finally found this new one. It is lightweight and it is not loud. It is a 1/2 inch larger in diameter than my old one, but I just wind my hair tighter. Curls come out just like you want. Love this one.

I ordered this after receiving the Revlon volumizer dry brush. I was looking for a dry brush that would potentially put a bit of wave and movement in my hair. Let me start off my saying I am a professional hair sylist and. I know how to use these products. I know what to use in my hair to prep it to make sure my hair style stays. I am very familiar with the Hot tools brand an have had many other products that were satisfactory made by them.My first impression was "Is this fake. Is a joke? joke? The construction of this is very flimsy. Very week. I feel if it was dropped the handle would shatter. I feel it's like something I would find in the dollar store. It is not typical construction and quality of a normal Hot tools brand.I remained optimistic and tried it. It does get super hot which is a plus because it will eliminate heat damage. It was lightweight and easy to maneuver my medium length hair. You could not use this solely to dry your hair. You would need to pre dryer to 85-90% dry before use.The curl release button does help for when your hair tries to tangle. I really wish this had flexible bristles like a round brush so you could really work it to set a curl in but it doesn't so tangling is increased even with a bigger diameter.I have used it 3 times and each time the curl/wave stays for very little time. I can fit round brush my hair with a standard round brush and blow dryer and it stays all day. This doesn't even stay for 2 hours tops.I do have to say I spent time reading the reviews before I bought it and I saw tons of women saying they had gotten it tangled and stuck in their long hair and they were using the 3/4 inch. That diameter is way to small to use in longer than 4 inches of hair ( and that's pushing it) so if you choose to order you MUST order a bigger diameter for the length of hair or you most definitely will get it stuck.I ordered a 1 1/4 inch for a looser curl.I will definitely be returning because I can get a better result with lasting curl/wave with a round brush and blow dry

I've been using these hair styling tools for over 20 years! It used to be manufactured by Helen of Troy and I bought them from Sally Beauty Supply stores. Now, it is called "Hot Tools" and is sold through the Helen of Troy company in Texas. It has always been the same tool with some minor changes here and there. FIRST, you need to know it is NOT A HAIR DRYER! It is a hot air "styling tool". You can use it on your dry hair, or you can wash your hair and dry it with a dryer, leaving it damp, then use this styling tool. I buy the 1-1/2 " size because I want a more relaxed curl. My hair is very straight, thick, and finely textured. This tool makes it so easy for me to get ready in the mornings. I just grab a chunk of hair and count to 15 or more and release. I've never had it tangle my hair! I probably use it on 6 or 8 sections of my hair while counting to 15, each time and I'm done! Doesn't get much easier than that! The tool lasts a long time, 3 or 4 years, with daily use. You DO need to keep lint out of the air intake area at the end of the tool. I occasionally use a straight pin, with the tool off and unplugged, to gently lift out any lint that might collect there. It probably works best for short to medium hair. I've used it for both. I also used it on the ends of hair when I had long hair. You just can't wind your long hair around it. I highly recommend this great styling tool!

So glad to have found this! I've used a Helen of Troy unit for 20 years that's finally sounding like it's going to go, so needed to find a replacement. This is just like that old one, except for color. The curl release works if your hair gets snarled around roller. Roller comes off for cleaning. High and low settings adjust fan speed. Since my hair is very curly, I'm always looking for methods to smooth it, yet keep a gentle curve. Only heat and tension will calm my unruly hair and this is exactly right. I use it once I've dried my hair. It isn't a dryer but a styler.

I love Hot Tools products. I have been looking for a Hot Tool air styling brush for awhile. I have had at least 3 in the past. This is not the one I was looking for but its the only one that was a styler not a volumizing brush. So first off I do like this brush it is light and easy to handle. The cord is long and it does not get too hot. It is warm enough to do a good job in a fair amount of time. My worry is its been about a month and a half and the top part of the brush is starting to wiggle and it seems like it may fall off soon. Hopefully it doesnt because putting that aside this has worked well for me.
