Luckily, one of the most popular hair care trends right now is the heated hair dryer brush, and there are plenty of incredible models to choose from. Revlon, Remington, Babyliss, Nicky Clarke and more have created hair dryer brushes worth their weight in gold, so you can achieve a bouncy blowdry worthy of Kate Middleton.
Hair dryer brushes, also known as volumisers or air stylers, make life a lot easier by removing the hair dryer from the process.
Allowing you to handle just one styling tool at a time, rather than juggling a hair dryer and a brush, this hybrid tool works by drying and styling as you're detangling.
You use it as you would a normal brush, brushing from root to end for a sleek and fizz-free finish – most of the time you won't even need to follow up with a straightener.
But if you want to create voluminous curls, then there are plenty of YouTube videos that'll teach you specific techniques. It's all about how you hold the brush!

Top Review: "So, I wasn't totally blown away on first use. I have the Dyson air wrap which is lovely but loved the size of this barrel. Very easy to use. Love that the cord doesn't get twisted. But here I am 4 days later and my hair still looks great. Normally I wash my hair every other day and restyle but not needed - even tho I have done some long walks, hair up/down, got rained on. I matched it with Pureology shampoo and a Drybar serum and am happy with the results. My hair is just past shoulder length."

This heated hair brush is slightly different to most, as the Ionic rotating brush does all of the work for you. Defining layers and giving greater shape to styles, simply rotate the brush through the chosen section and as you reach the ends of the hair, resist the rotation and spin the brush through the ends.
Top tip - check out Amazon's hair tutorial video if you need a visual explanation of how to use the rotating brush.
Top Review: "Very Easy to use and makes drying hair easier and quicker. Wish I had bought one sooner."
