BEST HAIR DRYER BRUSH OVERALL
T3 AireBrush Duo Interchangeable Hot Air Blow Dry Brush
T3’s award-winning, expert-approved AireBrush comes with all the features that you’d want in a blow dryer brush. Featuring a built-in ion generator and a smart microchip to offer consistent and controlled heat, this brush promises frizz-free styling with less damage. Design highlights include an interchangeable brush with two brush attachments and 15 heat and speed combinations. The round brush attachment can be used to achieve voluminous locks, while the paddle brush attachment is best for smoothing and straightening.
BEST BUDGET
Conair Double Ceramic 3-in-1 Hot Air Brush, Dry as You Style
$26.99 $32.99 18% off
Conair’s hot air brush is a major steal when it comes to both price tag and functionality. This styling set comes with a 1.25-inch thermal brush to curl or straighten hair, a 0.75-inch bristle brush for perfect spirals and a concentrator head to create silky-straight strands. Double ceramic technology delivers on the promise of even heat distribution, two speed settings help you fit your specific styling needs and the brush’s cool tip handle creates an ouchless experience.
BEST UNDER $50
Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus 2.0
$48.99 $69.99 30% off
Another budget-friendly find is Revlon’s updated one-step volumizer brush, which features a 2.4-inch barrel, a detachable head, a slimmer handle, and added heat settings (cool, low, medium, high) with 50 percent less heat exposure for less damage.
Best FLAT BRUSH
Drybar The Triple Shot Interchangeable Blow-Dryer Brush
Celeb-favorite Drybar’s three-in-one Interchangeable Blow Dryer Brush helps you achieve a smooth, salon-worthy blowout in one easy step. This value set includes an oval brush for effortless curls, a vented paddle brush that allows for maximum air flow for straight styles and a small rounded brush for voluminous looks. Simply towel-dry hair, then use a comb to detangle and separate hair before smoothing it out with this styler.
BEST for all hair types
Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System
$239.00 $299.99 20% off
If you’re looking for a one-stop styling set that includes a dryer brush and works for all hair types, spend it on Shark’s FlexStyle system. Available in three options (the straight/wavy and curly/coily sets are sale during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale), this kit features a hair dryer with two 1.25-inch auto-wrap curlers with Coanda technology, an oval brush, a styling concentrator and a paddle brush (for the straight/wavy set) or a curl-defining diffuser (for the curly/coily set). We love that it automatically measures and regulates temperatures at an impressive 1,000 times per second to deliver on its promise of no heat damage.
Best FOR VOLUME
Revlon One-Step Root Booster Round Brush Dryer and Hair Styler
$29.90 $59.97 50% off
Although many hair dryer brushes feature an oval-shaped barrel, Revlon’s Booster brush dryer features a 1.5-inch style with a true round shape to create the defined volume that you deserve. This tool is designed with nylon pin bristles to add extra body and create curls and flips.
BEST FOR TRAVEL
L’Ange Hair Le Volume 2-in-1 Titanium Blow Dryer Brush
For curly and coily locks, fans like L’Ange’s 2-in-1 blow dryer brush, which features a 75 mm oval-shaped barrel, titanium plates to help smooth hair, a low setting for fine hair, a high setting for thick and course hair and a cool setting to lock in shine.
Dyson
BEST INVESTMENT
Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete Long
Another catch-all set and arguably a holy grail hair styling tool that we can’t get enough of is Dyson’s Airwrap multi-styler. The Complete Long set is an expert-approved investment that features a 1.6-inch long barrel, a 1.2-inch long barrel, a Coanda smoothing dryer, a firm smoothing brush, a soft smoothing brush, a round volumizing brush, a detangling comb, a filter cleaning brush and a presentation case.
