BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Rotating Hot Air Brush, Blue, 2 Inch (Pack of 1)

I didn't think this tool could make any difference to a simple straight blow-dry style, but I was curious enough to try it. The truth is, I'd never heard of a rotating hot air brush until finding one by accident on Amazon while searching for something else. I read all the reviews on the various brands out there and then settled in on the Babyliss. A little over a week later, I have to say I don't know how I ever thought I could get smooth frizz-free hair with hair products alone and without this Baby! I use several expensive frizz-control products, most of which I like, but not one can do what this rotating hot air brush can do, This is the best styling tool for turning my very wavy semi-frizzy hair into a smooth and tamed look. My hair is very thick and long - but the Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium 2" Rotating Hot Air Brush gives me a smooth and styled look in 20 - 25 minutes. I found it to be intuitive and simple to use. It is, however, quite large and, as a result, a little clumsy when moving from section-to-section of hair. (I guess a "quite large" handle is the price you pay when you want a 2" brush size.) It comes with a hard plastic slip-on cover for the brush portion, but you might miss it in the box if you didn't know it was there. I had to read the instructions to learn what I had overlooked. That cover comes in handy for protecting the bristles if you tend to throw your tools into one container that holds your blow dryer, diffuser, brushes, etc. As others have said, you don't use this tool for drying your hair. I wait until my hair is 85-90% dry (a little dryer than others report) and then switch to the Babyliss to finish the job. It comes out looking like it was dried and styled at a salon. I have no talent in the hair styling department, so it is the tool and not my skill that makes this happen. I don't know anything about the other brands that I eliminated, as this is the only rotating hot air brush I have ever owned; but I can't imagine that they have anything that this one doesn't. Others may cost less, but I feel this one was well worth the price. How did I ever get along without it?

Best product ever!! Where were you 20 years ago when I needed you? I have had thick long curly hair ever since I was little. At the age of 16 I started going to my local hair salon for regular blowouts. What that just means is that they would just wash and dry your hair and blow dry it straight with the round brush and a professional hair dryer. It was worth every penny. Ever since hair straighteners have come into my life I have tried and failed on random products and hair appliances. From the $200 hair straightener to the $200 blow dryer to the $50 curling iron's and the hot rollersI've had some successes with some items but ultimately I have never been able to get my hair blown out like how it would be professionally until this morning. I've watched a couple YouTube videos and read the directions on how I needed to use this.I'm not someone who can wash her hair 30 minutes prior to work. I need a good couple hours and usually do it the night before. I wash and conditioned my hair. When I get out of the shower I apply my Argan oil heat protectant/ leave in conditioner and a couple drops of oil to the ends. I air dry my hair till it's about 80% dry. With this specific item I was actually going to blow dry my hair so the roots could get nice and dry and then use the product. But my hair was pretty much dry when I started. So I decided to try it without actually using my blow dryer. I sectioned my hair. This item worked beautifully. After navigating the controls I was able to do it perfectly. My hair is smooth and perfect. I was actually nervous about getting it tangled in my hair. Because when I was little I've had things get stuck in my hair and I've had to cut out a hot curling iron with spikes before. I think I'm still tramaurized by it.Anyways I did not receive this product free. I bought it with my money. I thought the item itself was a little pricey for what I was getting. But now I actually think the price is spot on because if I calculate how much I would pay trying to blow dry my hair professionally I do end up saving money. You need this item. You will have no regrets.
