HOT TOOLS24K 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

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!

Best ever blowout tool! I have used the Revlon and Drybar products with reasonable success, but this is the bomb. Not sure why, but it gives me better blowouts with fewer passes, and I'm thrilled. I have fine hair that tends to be frizzy/wavy and this tool is my go to for a professional-looking result. Thank you!

I got this brush when the fancy one I saw on TikTok got lost on its way to me. For the price, it leaves my hair pretty nicely brushed, with volume to spare. I bought this in lieu of a hair dryer which in retrospect wasn’t that bright of an idea, but that’s not the brush’s fault.

This is the second brush hair dryer of this brand I’ve ordered. My last one worked great but I took it on a trip to Europe and tried to use it with a power converter and I think it damaged it. I noticed in the description for this one that it says not to use it with a power converter. I had my last one for a few years so no longer had the box and if it ever said not to use with a power converter I don’t recall. On the same trip I plugged it in to the appropriate outlet on the cruise ship and I smelled a burn smell. When I returned home (in the US) the dryer just didn’t seem to work right. So I looked and looked on Amazon for a new one, reading reviews and comparing prices. I decided to buy this one by Hot Tools again. I have curly hair about 4 inches past my shoulders. I used to use a blow dryer and round brush before I discovered these brush style dryers. It was life changing, lol. Much easier that holding two things and my hair drys straighter and smoother. I still use a flat iron after but a couple passes and it’s good. The only negative with this product is the noise level, but that’s probably because it has a lot of blow. I feel like this dryer blows hotter on high than my last one and I wonder if it’s too hot. I use a heat protectant on my hair before drying.

Love these dryers i have long hair covers my whole back. This Dryer cuts my drying time in half!!Drys my hair straight, without needing a brush or straightener after.

My first one broke. I love how easy it is to straighten my hair. Is great for a person with auto immune issues and arthritus.

works great dries the hair really quickly. Very easy to use, and it has a long cord length which I appreciated. The noise is not too loud.

2 settings including very hot - but heavy - very bulky - BUT>> woke to big blown out style
