The 15 Best Hair Dryer Brushes for Salon-Worthy Blowouts at Home

“Yes, all hair types can use a blow dryer brush! They are so universal. I find that woman with fine hair love using a blowout brush because they can easily achieve major body and volume; whereas women with thick or curly hair like it because it gives them a very smooth, sleek style quickly without the use of multiple tools,” says Brager.

“I prefer a blowout brush that has a mixture of bristles,” says Brager. “These bristles help you get close to the scalp to stretch and smooth the hair at the root for the ultimate smooth and shiny at-home blowout experience.”

“You can perfect a handful of great hairstyles using a blowout brush—it depends on the length of your hair and the amount of layers you have,” says Brager. “I love it for a classic ’90s blowout. This is a dream machine for curtain bangs! For short hair, it’s key for that middle part or super-sleek early-2000s little bend or flip in or out at the ends. For longer hair, I like putting a couple twists in the middle of my sections for a loose wave moment.”

“Using a thermal protector or hair serum is always a good idea—it helps the brittles slide right through,” says Brager. “I think the easiest way for a beginner to use a blowout brush is to section the hair in medium sections staring from the bottom and working your way up.”
