HOT TOOLS 24K Gold Blow Dryer Brush - Hot Air Brush for Salon-Worthy Volume in One Step - Volumizer with 24K Gold Technology for Fast Styling & Long-Lasting Results

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have owned an older model of this hot tools hair dryer and loved it! Hair smoothness:I have fine fizzy wavy hair that I used to need to straighten because it would frizz so easily after I blow dried it. When I found this Hot Tools Brush I stopped having to flat iron my hair! So easy to use, no need to balance a brush and a hair dryer at the same time. This one tool does it all.Pro tip after you have dried each section of hair be sure to hit the cool mode to lock in the style.

First, let me start off with saying I have always HATED styling my hair. I’m not good at it and it takes WAY too long to do. I’ll spend 45 minutes on makeup (love doing my makeup), but then I get to hair and usually throw my wet mop into a tight ponytail. That “look” not only ends up looking unpolished, but I pull my ponytail so tight that I always breaking hairs just from the tugging several times a day.My hair is medium-long (about 3-5” past my shoulders), fine but fluffy/frizzy, and I have a lot of it. It takes me about 20-25 minutes to dry it with a normal blow drier. When I’m done with drying, it’s normally so frizzy and crazy that I MUST flat iron, or else it looks like I just woke up. Flat ironing would take me another 20 min or so, so we’re looking at 45 min total to do my hair. Nope. I don’t have the time or patience for all that, unless I’m going out at night.And then I discovered this Hot Tools miracle.I’ve only been using this a little less than a week, but it’s changed my hair life and I am telling all my girlfriends.It’s reduced my time from 45 minutes to 10. TEN!! Not only that, I don’t have to flat iron my hair, which saves time and heat exposure to my fine hair.The end result is SO smooth. In fact, I would recommend going light on any additional smoothing serums/lotions until you can anticipate your hair’s needs with this product. I’ve used it bit too much (even just concentrating on the ends) a few times, and my hair almost seems oily. I think this product helps the product penetrate your hair more, or it simply seals the hair shaft so that you don’t need as much.Regardless, in 10 minutes I have a voluminous, healthy, beautiful head of hair that matches the effort/time I put into my makeup, without actually taking long at all.This product is so (superficially) life changing that I’ve begun looking at better hair care products so that I can help grow all the broken hairline hairs into a gorgeous full set of healthy locks.I’m probably going to buy another of these for my gym bag so that I don’t have to worry about ever forgetting it.Okay, more about the device itself:- heat: when I first start using it, it’s reasonably hot, but it’s not excessive. I’ve noticed about halfway through if gets SUPER hot and I have to be careful how/where I position my hands. But .... it’s manageable and I never feel like my hair is burning.- on/off switch: the absolute only thing I struggle with is turning the device on/off/cool blast without feeling awkward. The switch is in a location where you can’t really one-hand it. For me, I must stop what I’m doing, turn the device and locate the switches, and move the switch. This means any section of hair I’m working on must be maneuvered/pinned back first, while I’m changing the setting on the dryer. Some of this is probably just practice / muscle memory, but it’s worth mentioning that this is the only mechanical design issue I have with the device. Also, I’m left handed - I don’t think that has anything to do with my issue, but I tend to do things a little backwards as a right-brained person.- pulling on hair: no tearing!! I’ve put some tension on this thing, and worked the hair at weird angles with awkward sectioning, and haven’t experienced any discernible damage or breakage. Awesome!!- size: Thing thing takes up space! Two design elements would be great with this thing: 1) retractable cord, and 2) hook on the end so that I can hang this in my bathroom. Because this is a brush as well as a dryer, I don’t want to just throw it around and risk damaging the bristles, so I currently put it in another room instead of in my bathroom drawer.Okay, that’s my review. Hopefully it helps someone make their decision!

I don't typically to reviews, but this simple device is a total game changer with my hair! I have thick hair that is so much work to style, until now! All I did was spray heat protectant and WOW spray in my hair, let it dry on its own most of the way, then ran this curling dryer threw it. It's as good, maybe better than a salon blow out. I'm excited to do my hair now.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is the only hairdryer I use for my long hair. There is no need for a flat iron after drying, my hair is straight, soft, and has less frizz and a slight curl to the ends of my hair. My only issue is that it is very hot and after a few months the prongs start to melt or fall out. Therefore, I have bought this hairdryer three times over the course of almost 2 years. But it is still a great hairdryer and I'll buy it again.

Encantada con este secador de hot tools. Desde la probeta vez que lo usé noté la diferencia, mi cabello quedó más suave como si hubiera salido del salón. Es súper comodo, sus cerdas son suaves. Su mango es ergonómico para mayor comodidad al usarlo.

this item works great! it worked really well on short hair and didn’t tangle my hair. definitely saved me some time in the morning! there wasn’t a ton of frizz in my hair after using this product.

I love this product, the xtra wide barrel is great, I use my regular blow dryer to fry my hair most of the way and then use it along with a spray in maroccon oil heat protector and it gives amazing results!

Works great! Dried my hair fast while straightening and giving volume at the same time!Down fall...I was sent one that had been opened, used and then returned. When opened the box I could immediately tell it was an unboxed product. I had to get someone else's hair out of the brush and sanitize it. Gross!
