HOT TOOLS Pro Artist Hot Air Styling Brush | Style, Curl and Touch Ups (1-1/2”)

I've been using these hair styling tools for over 20 years! It used to be manufactured by Helen of Troy and I bought them from Sally Beauty Supply stores. Now, it is called "Hot Tools" and is sold through the Helen of Troy company in Texas. It has always been the same tool with some minor changes here and there. FIRST, you need to know it is NOT A HAIR DRYER! It is a hot air "styling tool". You can use it on your dry hair, or you can wash your hair and dry it with a dryer, leaving it damp, then use this styling tool. I buy the 1-1/2 " size because I want a more relaxed curl. My hair is very straight, thick, and finely textured. This tool makes it so easy for me to get ready in the mornings. I just grab a chunk of hair and count to 15 or more and release. I've never had it tangle my hair! I probably use it on 6 or 8 sections of my hair while counting to 15, each time and I'm done! Doesn't get much easier than that! The tool lasts a long time, 3 or 4 years, with daily use. You DO need to keep lint out of the air intake area at the end of the tool. I occasionally use a straight pin, with the tool off and unplugged, to gently lift out any lint that might collect there. It probably works best for short to medium hair. I've used it for both. I also used it on the ends of hair when I had long hair. You just can't wind your long hair around it. I highly recommend this great styling tool!

Does a great job and is a lot quieter than one would expect. It doesn't set off the loud noise alert on my smart watch like my regular hairdryer. The brush size is perfect. The cord is long enough to give you plenty of room to move. It's also super light. I definitely recommend this styling brush.

This hot air brush does exactly what I wanted to do. I used it on damp hair and it makes loose ringlet curls out of my medium length thick hair. I’m pleased with the price and how quiet it is. I’m a little worried that it seems fragile, but I didn’t need all the fancy extras that the other air brushes that I saw had. I normally don’t buy items that are rated less than 4.5 stars, but I’m glad I took a chance on this one. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because I just started using it and it does seem fragile, so I’m not sure if it will last But the price was right and it does a great job.

I want readers to know that the Hot Tools Pro Artist Hot air Styling brush is truly wonderful. I’ve been using this styler for more than ten years, and when my old one finally stopped working, I realized how much I relied on it. In the meantime, I tried using hair rollers on slightly damp hair and then blow drying, instead of a curling iron (which can damage fine hair). But that routine took me much longer to finish my style. So I decided to order another Hot Tools Styling brush —and I’m so glad I did. It works beautifully, just like before, and honestly feels like being reunited with an old friend. For women with fine, short to medium-length hair, I think this styler will be especially appreciated. It’s efficient, gentle, and delivers great results without the extra hassle.

I have short hair and have used this for 30 years. I just reordered this new one again, gives my hair lots of body and so much easier than a curling iron. Quicker too bc you can air dry and then use the styling brush to finish drying/styling

really like this item, first time I have used the blower/brush and it was easy to use and gave me nice smooth style. My hair is on the short side, I got 1 3/4 barrel size. Possibly could have used a 1 inch. Friends use this and so I got it. I really like it. I did partially dry my hair first. Then I used the blow dryer/curler tool.

I was hoping some of the reviews were wrong and it would last longer than a couple of months before going kaput- but alas, almost exactly two months after purchase, not used every day- only on damp or dry hair (with a heat protectant)- today it turned in its notice. The motor sounded like it was dying and then came the bad smell. So unplugged and now in my trash bin. Great while it lasted but the Conair version from long ago lasted years. I had hoped for better.

I really like this little gadget and it works great for short hair (I get the 3/4 inch) but it is VERY FRAGILE. If you drop it, and who hasn't dropped a curing iron, it breaks and you have to buy another. I have purchased several and while some were gifts, others were because of its fragility. Even if you don't drop it, it needs replacing more often than I would like. But it works great when it works!

Buena tenaza

I have very fine, layered, short hair, thinning in places around the crown. I love love this little blow dryer. The barrel is slim enough to catch and hold my hair, does not tangle it, I am careful to unwind the hair from the barrel, this is easy to do. There is plenty of heat in it for my hair, in fact I usually use it on the low setting, after blow drying it to damp/dry with a regular blow dryer. I can give my hair some loose or tighter curl if I want, or just smooth it a little for some lift and body. Easily gives my hair lots of body which I need. I find it is well made no different in quality from any of the other hair appliances I have. So a big Thankyou to Hot Tools for the small barrel styler, it has made my life very much easier.

This is a great brush to straightened out frizzy or overly curly hair. I use it on slightly damp hair or for touchups on dry hair that I mist. I have had many and hope this one lasts longer than my others.

Práctico y muy eficiente

The brush was very cheap. Had to replace it with my old blow and curl brush.
