This one is smaller and lighter than my previous purchase. I have fine hair, so this smaller oval shape actually works better for me, and it is several ounces lighter and shorter than my old Babyliss round rotating hot air brush. If you have a need to style your locks or add a lot of volume maybe this is not the greatest choice. I keep it in my gym bag and really like the convenience of toting it around without needing a bigger bag.
Convenient for travel. Could have slightly stronger airflow for hair under the shoulders. Used simultaneously with another dyer in other hand for fastest dry time. I don't have thick hair, but mine is under shoulder one length. Definitely used an antifrizz product and clipped up excess while drying under layers. But great for quick and next day touch-up. The chamber is set and does not spin. Like a heated, air and dyers brush for styling. Lightweight.
I have found other larger brush dryers too hot and powerful, damaging my hair, which is fine, short and dry, but this product has exactly the right mix of power and heat to style and smooth my hair, leaving it shiny. Before this I had never used an oval brush - they always have seemed too large - but this one really works. Taking advantage of the grab provided by the small side and smoothing by the large side takes practice, but it is worth it. This quickly gives me the best volume I have had in years, lasting overnight and until the next wash, without damage. Highly recommend!
I have beach wavy, lioness hair. I used this compact brush and it’s a game changer. My hair did NOT burn, get caught, or damaged. It smoothed my hair so nicely I wish I had more layers! This is perfect for people like myself who struggle with doing their own blowouts! 10/10 would use again AND again!
