Blow Dry Brushes

What is a Blow Dry Brush?

Sometimes referred to as a blow dryer brush or hot air brush, these versatile hair styling tools offer the best of both worlds - the functionality of a brush with the power of a blow dryer! 

It’s designed to dry and style your hair at the same time, streamlining your routine after showering and making it the quickest, easiest way to get salon-quality results at home. 

You can effortlessly create smooth, voluminous styles, straightened locks, or even soft waves, all while reducing styling time. Of all the hair brush styles we sell, the blow drying brush is among our most popular.

How Does a Blow Dryer Brush Work?

A blow dry hair brush releases heated air through its bristles so you can style your hair while drying it. The heated airflow helps to smooth frizz, add volume, or curl your hair (depending on the brush’s design and your technique) as you run the brush through your strands. 

Many blow dry brushes feature ceramic or tourmaline-coated barrels, which distribute heat evenly and minimise damage. Some also include ionic technology to seal the hair cuticle, resulting in a shinier, frizz-free finish. It’s important to choose the best brush for blow drying to make the most of all that this styling tool has to offer.  

Is a Blow Drying Brush Good For Your Hair? Benefits of These Brushes

There are so many reasons to add a blow dry brush to your styling routine. Just be aware that these do apply heat to the hair, which can take a toll when done regularly. 

That being said, you can minimise damage by choosing the right blow dryer brush and using it effectively. In general, here are some of the benefits of adding a blow drying brush to your routine:

• Time-Saving: They streamline the drying and styling process by eliminating the need for separate tools.

• Reduced Heat Exposure: Compared to traditional blow dryers and flat irons, blow dry hair brushes produce less direct heat which can keep your hair healthy and happy.

• Frizz Control: Ionic technology in many brushes reduces static and frizz, leaving your hair smooth and shiny.

• Versatility: These brushes can straighten, curl, or add volume, making them suitable for various hairstyles. No matter your goals, you can benefit from one of these brushes.

• Ease of Use: Their ergonomic design allows for comfortable handling, even for beginners. 

Tips on Using a Blow Dry Brush

Speaking of use, how do you actually incorporate these brushes into your routine? Here are some quick tips on using a blow dry brush:

• Start with Damp Hair: Avoid using the brush on soaking wet hair - that’s not what it’s for. Towel dry first to speed up the process. This minimises the effect of heat on your hair and helps you work faster.

• Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections for more precise styling.

• Adjust the Heat Setting: Use lower heat for fine or damaged hair and higher heat for thicker, coarse strands.

• Brush Slowly: Glide the brush slowly through your hair for even drying and styling.

• Use Heat Protectant: Always apply a heat protectant to safeguard your hair from damage.

Comparing a Blow Dry Hair Brush vs Flat Iron

We see many customers asking us whether they should use a blow drying brush or a flat iron, but these tools have distinct purposes. Flat irons provide a sleek, pin-straight finish, whereas blow dry brushes are more versatile. They can create volume, waves, or smooth styles. 

These blow dryer brushes also tend to be gentler on your hair since they combine airflow and heat rather than clamping your hair between hot plates. If you’re looking for a tool that can achieve multiple looks with less heat damage, a blow dry hair brush is the no-brainer choice.

But if you still need tools for straightening your hair, you’re in luck - we carry those here at My Haircare & Beauty too! We even have a hair straightener brush collection.

Is a blow drying brush better than blow dryers?

While blow dryers and blow-dry brushes have different uses, blow-dry brushes are generally thought to be better for your hair's health. The heat damage and drying effects of blow dryers on hair can result in breakage and split ends. While using gentle heat and bristles to style the hair, blow-dry brushes minimise the risk of damage.
