Helen of Troy Tangle-free Thermal Hot Air Brush Review

I bought this product for my 75 year old mother. Whenever she got her hair cut and permed she always raved about the styling brush/blow dryer combination the stylist used. Now that she has her own she tells me that it is so lightweight and so easy to use. She especially likes the bristles & the quick release button so that her hair doesn't get tangled and that she can get her hair fixed at home in half the time it had been taking her with two instruments. I have now bought one for myself and agree with her 100%. Well worth the money!
Hot enough to burn

Product runs too hot; burns fingers & hair. I have to keep balancing it with the cooling mechanism while I'm using it. It even has hot spots in the handle so I have to keep shifting my hand while using it.
A real winner!

I have very fine hair and also am lucky enough to have a cowlick. This brush really takes care of both those things
It gives my hair more body too. It is not noisy as some of the others are. It is only 300watts but that is sufficient.
I could not be more delighted.
This was money well spent.

I think the Helen of Troy Thermal Hot Air brushes are awesome. I have them in different sizes. I also tried a Revlon thermal hot air brush and did not think it was as good quality as the Helen of Troy line.
Changes from old style for the worse

My old Helen of Troy hot brush looks just like this and they have made changes. The bristles are softer and do not hold my fine, short hair as well. Also on the old brush, you could take out two screws and soak the brush to remove product. The screws are now rivets. The instructions say when product builds up to wipe it off with a damp cloth. That doesn't work very well at all. This is another case of "new and improved" for the worse. I haven't found a better hot brush, so I am using it, just wish they had left the old design alone! At least take the advertising off the package that says the brush is removable
Right size, right heat for fine straight hair

My old vidal sassoon hot brush was great, but it finally died. I was using a Revlon hot brush, but it didn't get hot enough to curl my hair; the barrel was too big and the air flow blew my fine hair off the barrel. This Helen of Troy is just the right diameter to curl my straight hair (between chin & shoulder-length). The heat is enough to curl without burning, and the air flow isn't so strong that my hair flies around. I love it & wish I hadn't spent $26 on the Revlon.
Very Happy this is brush

This brush does the trick. Just what I needed for this fine hair with a cowlick to boot. The cowlick does not part off like it used to. And it gives my hair more body.

I love, love, love this dryer/curler. It gives my medium length hair the smoothness that I want without burning it. I learned about it from my sister who has her hair done at a high class salon in Atlanta.

This brush is wonderful for fine straight hair. It gives my hair twice the body of any hot hair brush I have tried, and I have tried them all.

I have an average amount of baby fine hair worn in a wedge. I want some volume and I want to get ready quick! This has been the BEST curling iron/dryer I have found. I tried about 3 others before I found this and like it so well I have it in 2 sizes and recently ordered 4 more of the one I can't live without. I have no complaints!!It doesn't eat your hair and and mine has never shut off from overheating.
Love it! Love it! Love it!

I have very fine, short , permed hair that I have been curling with a curling iron for YEARS. With this product, I have more body and softer curls than ever before!! And in less time!! I just use it on damp hair, curl opposite of growth like recommended and use a little texurizer after. Best purchase I've made in a long time!! Thanks Folica!!

Great Hot Air Brush for fine hair

I have very fine hair and this brush works great. When I first ordered it I was a little concerned, but thought I would give it a try. I am glad that I did. The bristles are flexible and not stiff as I had expected and does not leave my hair looking frizzled. It is a very good product.

I have tried several curling brushes, and quite frankly I haven't found any that are of the quality of my old Conair which lasted for years. This Helen of Troy brush works ok. It gets hot, but it will only go to one setting other than cool. It is cheaply built and I don't expect it to last...we'll see.
Not Much Hot Air

I was very disappointed with this hot air brush. There was little or no air being blown through the brush so it virtually did nothing to my hair.
Great for fine hair!

I have really fine straight blonde hair, and this brush just plumps it up and gives it so much body! After spraying on some thickening lotion or mousse, I use this when my hair is damp, and I get lots of volume. Easy to use, I like the cool button to set the curls, and I have not experienced it overheating like some people have. Love it, highly recommended!

I find that it was a little bulky to handle and I don't like having to push cool while trying to curl if it gets hot.
Love it.

This air brush gives my shoulder length fine hair body and super shine and softness. I use my T3 blowdryer first (another fantasic product) and dry my hair until damp and then I finish with this air brush. I can now do my hair in half of the time! No more velco rollers for me! Love it!
Just Okay

This brush worked for putting some body and a little curl into my hair. But it really didn't make my hair look smooth like a round brush and hair dryer does. After using this hot brush, my hair was kind of puffy and frizzy. It also doesn't seem sturdy enough to really get that pull that you need in order to straighten out the natural waves. I've since gone back to just blow drying my hair and then using the chi straighter to smooth it out and get that soft, straight but with body look.
