8 Hot-Air Hairbrushes to Score a Salon-Worthy Blowout at Home

I'm the first person to admit that I'm an absolutely terrible hairstylist. The thought of having to get done-up for an event is always unbelievably intimidating because I never have any idea what to do with my hair. Only recently did I effectively learn how to use a curling iron, and I'm usually the type of gal to air-dry my hair out of the shower, cross my fingers, and hope for the best. But thanks to easy-to-use blow-dryer brushes like the ones on this list, my hairstyling life has become so much simpler.

I live and die by my Dyson Airwrap because it helps me style my difficult, ultra-fine, pin-straight hair in no time, but it somehow always looks like I just left the salon. Some hot brushes are perfect for people with curly and kinky hair, and others straighten your hair and leave it totally frizz-free. Depending on what your hair type and preferred style is, you can find a hot brush that works for all of your styling needs. While these hot brushes certainly can't replace curling or flat irons, they can make your life so much easier as you style your hair day to day.

Below, check out some of the best blow-drying brushes on the market.

Dyson Airwrap Styler Complete

The Dyson Airwrap truly is the Tesla of all hairstyling products. This all-in-one tool not only blow-dries your hair, but you can also blow it out to be straight, voluminous, or curly, based on which attachments you use. Use the rough dry head to get your hair about 70 percent dry, then simultaneously style and dry it with the head of your choice. The curling barrels come in two different sizes so you can customize your curls, you can add volume to your roots and ends with the round brush, or blow-dry straight with the paddle brushes.
