INFINITIPRO BY CONAIR Spin Air Rotating Styler/Hot Air Brush, 2-inch, Black

I stand by my orginal reveiw but please be sure to see my updated comments at the bottom! I will begin this review by mentioning that I am a licensed cosmetologist with over 25 years experience styling hair and an unabashed hair appliance junky. When I walk through a store that sells blow dryers, flat irons, hot rollers I always peruse them. I have at least a dozen flat irons, ten curling irons, 4 sets of hot rollers, hooded dryers both hard top and bonnet style. This does not include the dozens of things I've given away over the years or the things I've bought and didn't like so I returned. The bottom line is there is not a type of hair appliance on the planet I haven't tried and I have never been more impressed by the performance of a hair appliance than I am with this Infinitipro Spin Air Rotating Styler. I've used products similar to this many times but this is far superior to anything I've ever used. That ridiculous waste of money InStyler, which I returned, doesn't do a thing. I colored my hair dark blond for many year and last year I got carried away making it lighter and lighter platinum until I finally fried it to the point of no return. So last January had no choice but to cut off my beautiful long thick wavy hair and what little hair was left was still extremely damaged. I brought my color back to the medium/dark brown I was born with but it was still damaged and so short I couldn't do a thing with it. I began slicking it back in a French twist and wearing clip on hair pieces. This has worked well because my hair always looks good and it's so easy to do, but I missed being able to style my own hair. Using a blow-dryer and flat iron was so much work and the results were always disappointing. When I saw a commercial for this and became curious. I was dubious that the large 2 inch barrel would not work well in my short hair, while my length is nearly to my shoulders because of the damage I had to layer my hair, so it is about five inches around. Also because of the layers my hair has become very curly and gets knotted and frizzy. Not very attractive! In a review I read a when I was thinking about buying this a woman complained about having to still dry her hair most of the way before using this. The fact is your hair should always be about 80% dry before you start to style it. When I'm blow drying a clients hair I use the blow-dryer to take out most of the moisture before I pick up a brush. For my own hair I usually let it air dry. So with my hair damp and I started using the Infinitipro first at the bottom and it easily starts to glide through my hair, no tangles or knotting, just effortlessly gliding. Plus even though the bristles are soft it is easily picking up my hair. I'm psyched but this is the longest part of my hair so I go to the top and that is when I discover you can easily switch directions, I never read the instructions, so now I'm getting really excited because it is light and easy to hold and I don't have to twist my arms in to odd ways to hold he Infinitipro where I need it. Then the most amazing thing happened, as I'm holding it at the top of my Occipital bone the brush starts to pick up hair from below buts it isn't knotting. It's just gliding. If I hold my hand steady it doesn't do this but so If I want to add fullness to one spot, but that gliding and picking up hair is great for smoothing. I was finished in about ten minutes and my hair looked amazing for the first time in a year. I used my flat iron just to make it a bit straighter, it took about three minutes because it was alreasy nice and smooth and it looked fantastic. I almost began to cry with joy that my hair actually looked good for the first time in a year!I went to cosmetology school in high school and in the twenty five years I have done this professionally I have used at least a hundred different hair appliances. I've tried every sold on TV gimmicky product, every type of professional product and every type of drug store product. This product is unique and exceptional so buy it with confidence. Make sure you dry your hair about 80% before using it and be AMAZED at the results! Product Update December 2, 2012: I still love this product and still give it 5 stars but a recent question Amazon asked me to answer about using this is African American hair made me want to update my review. I have moderately thick hair with a loose natural curl but the texture is not coarse. I don't think this product will work well in hair that is coarse in texture, very thick or with extremely tight curl. The bristles are very soft and I find I need to take small sections and on the top I need to softly cup the brush so it will pick up my hair. They probably make the bristles so soft so they don't tangle the hair but I think they could make them a bit firmer without that happening. I also think it would help if they made out a 1 ½ inch brush. For thicker coarse hair I recommend the Conair 2-in-1 Hot Air Brush which I also own and like a lot. I never had any use for the regular bristle brush but the 1 ½ inch brush with the plastic bristles works really well. IMPORTANT NOTE: There are several models of this brush make sure you get the one with at least 1000 watts of power or it won't get hot enough to smooth your hair. It doesn't spin on its own but it's still easy to use if you work section by section and spin the appliance yourself. Take about a one inch section and starting at the scalp pull the brush down the section, then roll the section up let it heat up well, and then pull it down again. Repeat this on the section until you get the smooth result you're looking for. This will give the hair some flip so if you're looking for straight you'll need to finish with a flat iron, but it will only take a quick pass or two. This is also true of your hair is very coarse, you may get better result and have them last longer with a quick pass of a flat iron. I still think it is a good product and does what it says it will do. Once again both of these items are styling products so you need to dry your hair about 80% before using it or it will not work well. Good Luck! One last suggestion, don't waste your time or money on cheap flat irons, buy a Chi, Rusk, Bayless, anything that normally retails for at least $150, you can find them much cheaper on Amazon or even at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. Cheap flat irons don't work nearly as well or as quickly.

I bought both the Infinity Pro Hot Air Spinner 2" and the John Frieda Salon Shape 1.5 Inch Hot Air Brush ( JF for short). Both are great products. The Infinity by Conair is rated #1 and JF is rated #2. I had a hard time trying to decide which to buy. Then bought both. I wanted to share the differences between the two in case it helps someone else choose one or both. I love both products. The biggest difference is that the Infinity spins and the JF does not. The other noticeable difference is that the Infinity spin brush has very soft bristles. My hair is a medium- longish bob. The bristles are soft and won't just "grab" my hair unless I use the spinning option. It works great and it gives you the blow out look. The JF may not spin but the bristles are soft and they have some sturdier bristles mixed in which does grab hair very easily. It also will give you the blow out look. If you have shorter hair, the 2' Infinity Pro Spin won't really be small enough with the overall shape or size. I would opt for a smaller barrel. I believe the Infinity does come smaller. The JF 1.5" grabs shorter hair easily ( it has some harder bristles). It was used on my mom's hair because her hair is shorter. The Infinity worked too spinning, but a smaller barrel size would've worked better on her hair. The JF worked great. As I said, both are great products and I'm glad to have both. Mine is the Infinity and the JF is my mom's. So I have been able to use both and see the differences, pros and cons. Both have 3 settings, high,low and cool. Both style very well. I have never been able to perfect the art of using a brush in one hand and a hair dryer in the other to dry my hair. I use the Conair styling hair dryer that has a brush attachment to "dry my hair". Another thing is that both the Infinity and the JF work best when your hair is about 75-80% dry. Then you can fix any frizziness or curl with either product. ( Both my mom and I have curly hair). I know this review is being written on the Infinity page, I did the same on the John Frieda review. I love how the Infinity spins nicely, and it spins in either direction which is great! It does not tangle and shapes my hair very easily. I can understand why it's rated #1. I love it and have had no problems. It's a learning curve, but an easy one. I used to have the Instyler, and I had a hard time with that one. Mainly because the tip got too hot. The tips or the ends on the Infinity and JF both warm up and can get quite warm. Thermal gloves work fine if you need something, but you can buy cheap gloves at Walgreens and they work just as well. I haven't found a need for either. The only thing I wish the Infinity had was a few harder bristles mixed in with the very soft bristles. They would help in grabbing hair if not using the spin option. I wouldn't take off any points for that. As I said, both products are great! They both shape and smooth while styling! Both work great at the roots providing extra lift! I hope this review helps someone make a decision if needed. Both come in different sizes which is good. Both work very well which is great! I love the Infinity product and highly recommend it! Hope this helps someone!! I know I had a hard time deciding, and I'm glad I bought both. I do use my Infinity all the time. I do not use my mom's JF as often but she does use it and she loves it too! . Sorry I used the word "both" so many times! :) Thanks! I hope this helps someone!

I have now had the product for several months and feel I can safely rate the the Infiniti at 4 stars. My Hair is past the shoulders, thick, with medium curl, and slightly course. It is highly processed. I have a full keratin treatment every six months and roots dyed every three weeks with highlights every other or third month. My greatest concern is damage from heated appliances. I am pleased to say this product shortened my dry time from full 40 minutes with couple 5 minute breaks to 15-20 minutes with no breaks. Normally, I straighten with flat iron after as well. Using the Infiniti Pro makes that process super easy as well - because I am able to get such a smooth straight finish just from drying. Be warned - there is a big learning curve. It takes a couple times to get the forward and reverse down - and practice is needed to get the best style. I have found 2 negatives: (1) It is heavier than expected. That being said - it is still easier than trying to hold a dryer and brush. Especially - makes getting back of head more efficient with much better outcome. (2) I get a fuller root than I care for. The hair, in general, is fuller as well. This would probably good for someone looking for body - I have plenty to begin with. Just a couple tips. Make sure hair is well conditioned. This makes the hair glide easier through the bristles. Also, slowly and intermittently, advance the brush from root to end - so the hair doesn't wrap around the brush completely. The only thing(s) I would change? I would prefer a different bristle - maybe slightly firmer. I think it would smooth the hair more effectively. And I wouldn't mind more heat. Fix these issues and I would give 5 starts. Just as a sidebar I have tried the Conair Ionic Styler (with brush and comb attachments). In comparison - this product is much more effective. The attachments came off the Styler and broke in no time.

I do think this is a very good styling tool BUT it takes time to get the technique down. It is most definitely NOT able to be used with hair that is only towel dried. I must let my hair air dry for awhile or use my old blow dryer as this doesnt have the capacity to spin effectively through my long thick hair when wet. It spins much easier and smoother when almost dry. It does deliver shine and body. Ill happily keep using it. It does save the wrist (not having to use round brush and dryer) I feel that the heat is just enough to get the style done (as I have hair that likes to curl) PS make sure you are sectioning off your hair precisely and only use about 2" wide sections (leaving exposed bristles on either side) or when hair dries and expands the stragglers will tangle around and be ripped out. It save me time by 1-allowing me to style faster since im not hurting my wrist. 2- It spins faster than I can with a round brush (Brush Spins are more effective) and 3- Straightens and curls under ends at once. UPDATE* As i do not wash my hair all that often (3xweek) I have had very lil practice with this and already )after 2x use) i am getting very comfortable with it. I can see when i am prolly gonna have a tug on my hair and can stop it before it happens. the trick is (for long hair) to use smaller sections. You might think that this would add to the time it takes to dry and style but it doesn't. without tangling, untangling and brushing again, I can just use smaller sections and save myself that time. Tonight I was to meet a girlfriend for dinner and almost didnt want to wash my hair (even tho it needed it) bc I thought it may take too long to dry and style. Again very long/thick hair and I was washed, dryed, styled and gone in UNDER 30 MINS!!! thats a record for me! When I got to the restaurant sHE said, " I just came from the gym, I told you not to get too cute" I told her it was this hot brush. And that I had just gotten out of the shower 30 mins ago!!! If you want a pro blow out, have hair you are too lazy to style but dont want to chop-BUY THIS!!!

I have owner the Revo curling brush for over 10 years. I am a die-hard Revo fan and when mine died I was devastated! But, I finally decided to give this product a shot. The problem is though that the brush is different - there aren't as many bristles, the heat is practically pointless - there is just not enough and - the biggest problem of all - the barrel is just too small. I have naturally wavy/frizzy hair that is crazy fizzy and unkempt when left to naturally dry. When I used to use the Revo, the brush bristles were PERFECT for it. The brush tamed every strand and left my hair feeling shiny, soft and smooth. I would get so many complements on my hair! With this brush, there is just not enough bristles and I do find I get my hair tangled in it somehow?! No idea as there aren't many bristles. I did find if I kept cleaning the thin layer of hair that built up on the bristles, it would grab my hair better, but not by much. Also, my hair doesn't slide through the bristles like with my Revo. As for the hair dryer part of it - COMPLETELY worthless! I found my hair can be no less than 90% dry for me to use this brush on it and even then it takes FOREVER to dry. With my Revo, I would be done ini 10 minutes. With this thing, it's more like 20 minutes and the brush STILL can't dry it enough - I can tell it still feels damp which is your worst nightmare for those of you that have hair like mine. As it dries on my way to work, it ends up curling up. By the time I get to work 20-30 minutes later, my hair is crazy curly. Now if you wanted curly hair, this is your brush. I do not tough. With my Revo, the brush was really fat and it left my hair in these large slight waves. It would be straight but not sickly anemic straight like with a CHI. The Infinitipro needs to be just a bit bigger so your hair doesn't end up curling up on you. Totally hate it. Now, I'm not going to have to shell out the hundred bucks to get a new Revo.

I bought this spin air rotating styler in Sept. 2011 and wound up giving it to my daughter so she could use it on my granddaughters hair which is very long, fine, curly, and tangles easily. This spin air rotating styler helps to smooth her hair turning her curls into more manageable softer curls without tugging and pulling, which means she will sit still long enough to let my daughter finish her hair. This will dry hair, but slowly. It works better if you use on slightly damp hair to finish styling, or as a quick fix to redo your hair. Since the original one I bought left with the kids I bought myself another one when I missed using my old one. I like how it allows you to roll all the way up to the roots to give height and fullness. You can curl your hair, brush it straight, and it's easy enough to use one handed even if it is a bit bulky. There is a cold air setting that you can use to set your style. The brush doesn't rotate when it's on cool. The brush will rotate both ways with a click of a button for smoothing down your hair or rolling up to curl. The settings are high, low, and cool. Under the brush head are the buttons to control which way you want the brush to spin. The brush is very soft and grabs the hair easily for you to style. I usually brush down to smooth and pick up the hair, then while it's spinning I click the button over and it will spin the other way wrapping my hair into a large curl from the bottom up. I then click the cool button to set the curl and then I'm ready for the next section. This is a very nice rotating styling brush, works very well on my hair and I would buy another if this one ever breaks.

I will start by saying that as I write this, my right hand is so sore and I can't feel my pinky.....I saw the commercial for the spin air and thought "there goes conair again with a good idea but likely a poorly constructed product." I have never been a fan of Conair products. The products have never worked on my hair. I've got VERY thick and long hair. I read other reviews and didnt's see an absolute consensus so i felt it was one of those products i had to try for myself. Flat irons make my hair too flat with no body and blow drying takes forever, gets tiring and can burn my scalp. I bought this item today and gave it a whirl on VERY damp hair. The spin air spins to the left and right and has a separate button for each...pressing the correct one is going to take some practice before i instinctively know which is which. At first try, I found there is definitely a learning curve. My hair got stuck, was pulled by the rotator and I thought my head was going to pop off at one point. You can't just let the piece of hair whirl onto the rotator and leave it there to make your hair gorgeous. I had to keep the spin air moving up and down, otherwise, my hair rolled up on the brush, and got stuck. On my VERY damp hair, this thing is not going to save me any time compared to blow drying. I waited for my hair to air dry, and gave this another go on dry hair...On my dry hair, things were better. The process went much faster. I didn't find it went much faster than blow drying nevertheless. To sum this up: PROS: It is kind of a fun concept; The hottest setting on the spin air is just warm enough and doesn't burn my scalp like the hottest setting on a typical blow dryer does; the spin air definitely added volume; the end result was no better or worst than using an old fashioned blow dryer and brush; a pro for traveling since the spin air might take up less space in a typical carryon bag then a blow dryer and a brush. CONS: not the easiest tool to use; the handle is thick and my hand felt very sore after use; this would not be the best tool for short hair; hair gets stuck, pulled and tangled and have to repeatedly go over the hair to fix the damage; it is an expensive product in my opinion; the cord is too short so i had to find an extension cord.... In conclusion, I don't know yet if I will return this product based on its first performance, but I also dont think I would recommend it to a friend. If you have the money sitting around to shell out on this to try it out, then it might be worth trying and holding onto if the results are to your liking. This won't forever replace my flat iron or blow dryer. ___________________________________________________________________ UPDATE: I bought this product about 3 years ago and after a few months of barely good results, I stopped using this product and dumped it in the back of my closet and about a year ago, I threw it in the garbage.

At the start of this year, I decided to get my hair cut short! For the first time, since I was a child, I had chin-length hair. It was a great change but I had no idea what to do with it! I asked the hair styler who cut my hair what I should do, and he said to use a metallic brush and blow dryer to dry and seal the hair. I just nodded along but there's no way I can hold a hair dryer AND spin a round-brush at the same time!! Any of you ladies have this problem too? So I did my research... and thank god I stumbled upon this product. After watching what seems every youtube video demo and review I absolutely HAD to have it. When I first used it, I was ecstatic. If you ask my boyfriend, he'll tell you that I was squealing with every section that I dried and styled, because I was LOVING how it turned out. I looked like I had a beautiful salon BLOW-OUT in only 20 Mins. After having used this tool for a month, this is what I've learned about it. >>> PROS: - It's not very loud. Now, I'm aware that "loud" is a relative term, but I know it's not that loud, because my boyfriend just needs to raise the volume on the tv by a few notches to hear over it. Unlike my hair dryer, he just has to suffer for a few minutes and get an apology after. - There is a cool option to seal the hair! Note: The head does not swivel on this option, but I don't think it needs to in order to be effective. - The swiveling brush really is TANGLE-FREE. At least, I know it is for me (AND MANY of the women who have demo'd the dryer on youtube.) However, your hair can get tangled if you don't use it properly, and I will elaborate more on this in the CONS section below. - The item includes a nifty cover for the brush-head. It's made out of durable plastic and really protects the bristles from bending or scratching. - Ease of use! In the past month, I have learned to use this thing with my eyes closed. - It has a Ceramic plate! I am a firm believer in the power of negative ions to protect hair follicles and seal in moisture. If you haven't learned about the science, I urge you to look it up. You'll appreciate this tool even more. >>> CONS: - Although, the bristle head brush IS tangle-free, if used improperly your hair can get tangled! If you try grab too much hair on the swiveling brush, then the 'overflow' of hair can get twisted around and get stuck. It took me a little while to figure out why this kept happening, but once I learned about that issue, the rest was GRAVY. :) - The tool itself is pretty big. DO NOT be alarmed at how large this tool is. I don't believe the technology exists that can make this dryer work as well as it does with a turning brush. At least, not for the current price of this tool. Even though, it's a long and big, it's surprisingly NOT heavy at all and will be really easy to use. [[ FINAL THOUGHTS ]] I love, love, love this tool! It may sound corny and over-the-top, but it really has changed my lifestyle for the better. I mean... In LESS THAN HALF the time it would take for me to TRY and use a dryer and brush, I can have a salon-style, blow-out with lifted roots and bouncy volume and shine. The price may seem pretty hefty, but my new look is PRICELESS. .... And the time you'll save will be priceless too.

When I first purchased this blow drier I was looking for a tool that could give me an edge, that could help me not work so hard to get a salon simulated blow out. When it arrived, it took a few tries to get used to it in my hand. My hair was shoulder/ collar bone length and when I used the drier it wasn't giving me the bounce I had hoped for. I was beginning to think it was a waste of money. But a few weeks later I cut my hair to The middle of my neck and re-tried using this drier. Now at this length I can say -- IT IS THE BEST TOOL EVER! I love this drier. Combined with some volumizing mousse my hair has crazy amounts of volume. It looks like a professional blow out. Things to note: 🔹I have medium fine hair - but a lot of it. 🔹My hair hasn't been coloured 🔹And as mentioned it sits at the base of my neck ✅ Is it worth the money 💲 - YES ✅ Would I order another one 💯 per cent. Hope this helps. 💋

Esta es la tercera vez que lo compro, funciona muy bien, pero tiene un tiempo de vida porque las cerdas se desgastan y el motor se descompone con el paso del tiempo, sin embargo, lo vuelvo a comprar porque es el único que yo he encontrado que no quema el cabello, no lo daña y cumple de maravilla su función,tengo el cabello chino, lo alisa y pule perfectamente

I purchased this last yr in the US. The rotating barrel was slightly smaller but faster. This one is a little bulky and not as quick. Needs a lot more pressure. Meets expectations and definitely worth the price. I really love the results but its been a little over 1.5yrs and the rotating brush has stopped working. I use it on a regular basis to smoothen my bangs, that's all. Its a pity it doesn't work anymore, have spent additionally on the converter and plug for the same. It is a good product. Just not built to last.

Best piece of hair tools I have ever bought
