Hair Dryer Brushes

I've spent my entire life dodging the hair-dryer as I prefer wearing my hair slightly curly.
However since lockdown I've gone crazy at the hair dressers and had lots of bleaching/colour done which has dropped the curls out of my hair, and I'm left with a fizzy bob.
Theres no way I will be able to blow-out my own hair, with just 2 arms/hands - does anyone recommend a hair from drying/straightening fine bob-length hair?

Dyson Airwrap brush attachment is great for a home blow dry and doesn’t cause my hair to frizz despite being highlighted.

The Revlon One Step is very easy to use. I haven’t used my hairdryer since I got it. It’s usually on Amazon for slightly less than you would pay in Boots etc.

No way I'm forking out for a Dyson - I just can't justify the ££££ !

I like the revlon one step - although it depends how long your hair is.

I had a post lock down cut and it’s now to short for the revlon to work properly - I find the brush head a bit to big to get properly in the roots.

So I got the Babyliss air styler with the multiple attachments - the heads are smaller so work better with short hair.

I’ve had the babyliss big hair which is honestly the best for the blown out look but my last two didn't last more than 6 months before they stopped turning so I won’t buy them again, it’s so wasteful.

I have the full kit box set Dyson Airwap and the Dyson Hairdryer.

I have not touched either since I got the Revlon Brush dryer...

Ive not needed straighteners either.. this brush is fantastic for my fine hair.. gives me massive volume with no products.. amazing.

Babyliss for volume and bouncy hair, Revlon one-step for the sleek look. Both amazing

@BlueVelvetStars

That’s really good to know. I’ve been eyeing up the Dyson Airwrap thinking I could get even better results. That’s £400 you’ve saved me 💐💐💐

I also have the Dyson Airwrap and the Revlon one step. I only really use the Dyson to part rough dry my hair. The Revlon is so good and so much easier. I wish I'd just got the Dyson hairdryer tbh as all the wrap's attachments are wasted on me. The air wrap gives me dated Kate Middleton curls and I prefer the beach waves I get from using irons

Another vote for the Revlon One Step pictured.
I have the Babyliss Big Hair too which I love but it’s already started to slow down on the rotation so think it’s on the way out & it isn’t old. It dries much slower than the Revlon too.

Thanks everyone, I'm quite excited at having sleek hair - my hair is nice - but I've never had sleek hair apart from the occasional hairdresser who doesn't listen to me when I say I want it rough dried

Oy tried the babyliss big hair and really like it. I alternate between leaving my hair curly for awhile and doing it with BBH.
