Our Editors Swear By These Blow Dryer Brushes for a Perfect Hair Day (2024)

We've never met a hair dryer brush that is more versatile. This new version offers several different attachments that allow you to go from wet to dry styling with minimal heat damage. It contains a styling round brush, 1.25-inch wrap curlers, a frizz-fighting finishing tool, and (probably the most innovative attachment of all) a hair straightener that combines airflow and heated ceramic plates to dry wet hair in just one pass.

The technology also features a scalp shield mode to protect the scalp from extreme heat and a system that regulates and picks an optimal heat for each styling attachment.

Our review: "The fact I—a person with amateur-level skills who never came close to mimicking a pro blowout myself—can now dry my hair, lift my roots, create soft waves, or make it super sleek with one tool in my own bathroom is incredible," says beauty director Kate Sandoval Box. "Unlike some other tool sets, I've actually used all of these attachments, though when I'm in a big rush I rely on it as a blow dryer first and then switch to the straightener as a quick de-frizz finisher."

If you've been hesitant on purchasing the Dyson Airwrap because of its high price tag, we totally understand. We do, however, think it's worth it if you can swing it. The set comes with a 1.2-inch and a 1.6-inch barrel, so you’re able to customize based on your hair length and the style you’re trying to achieve, whether it's a tighter mermaid wave or a loose bouncy blowout. It also creates less damage compared to other heat tools because it relies on air force more than heat level thanks to the "Coanda effect," a physics term that refers to the way air (and in this case hair) wraps around a barrel.

Our review: After coming out of a mid-day gym session, Oprah Daily editorial director, Pilar Guzman, says this Dyson Airwrap was able to transform her frizzy, sweaty strands into a smooth and sleek blowout in five minutes. "It's really kind of great," she says.

This 2-inch blowout brush allows you to dry, style, and volumize all hair types and lengths, including shorter cuts. It has ionic technology to help reduce frizz and the dual bristles help detangle hair as you work it through to prevent damage and tugging.

Our review: "My immediate thoughts upon trying this brush were I couldn't believe how lightweight it felt," says Genesis Rivas, Oprah Daily beauty editor. "I have long wavy hair and when brushes are too big, I feel like it doesn't give my hair the curl and swoop that I love. However, this 2-inch barrel was perfect for adding that volume that lasts. Also, for only $70, I feel comfortable recommending this to all my friends."

Achieving the perfect blowout at home is now possible with T3's latest innovation. It's a great pick for those with frizzy hair because its attachments are made with custom ceramic barrels to help create a smooth and glossy finish every time. It also contains a drying concentrator, which delivers a more gentle airflow so you can dry your entire head without making it feel overly dry and rough.

Our review: "This hair dryer brush completely altered my hair styling life," says Allison Chin, Oprah Daily deputy visual director. "I have super thick hair that typically takes hours to air dry completely. This hair dryer brush cut that dry time down to 15 minutes. I’ve never been coordinated enough to work a hairbrush and hair dryer at the same time, and this device is so lightweight and easy to maneuver that it almost feels like you’re simply brushing your hair."

Introducing the newest iteration of the Dyson Airwrap, which features upgraded smart technology. If you've never known how long you should hold your hair in one of the air wrap barrels to get the perfect and long-lasting curl, it now does the work for you. The device automatically times and adjusts heat depending on your hair type and remembers your customized routine via an app.

Our review: "I've tested the original Airwrap and now this i.d. version, which is the same price with newer technology. The tool connects to an app on your phone, which walks you through the blowout process based on your specific hair," says Sandoval Box. "It adjusts the temp and recommended time spent on each section. It definitely helped me find the sweet spot between minimal heat damage and a smooth, longer-lasting hold. I swear, pretty much everyone can give themselves a blowout with this."
