hello welcome back to adore beauty you guessed it the iconic redhead duo is back my name is amy
i'm the senior editor here at adore beauty and my name's chloe and i'm a customer experience advisor
here at adora and last time chloe was showing me how to put on fake lashes and it was an absolute
time it's stuck i don't think this is right but today we are talking all things hot air brushes
this one's a weapon they are quite like menacing looking in a way in this video we are going to be
breaking down the top four hot air brushes that we stock here at adore we're going to explain why
they're different who they're best suited for and help you to make the best choice for you
but first of all you might be wondering what is our hot airbrush
a hot airbrush is kind of like if a hairdryer and a round bristled blow drying brush had a baby
the result is this very cool hybrid tool that dries your hair but also gives you that bouncy
smooth you know tv commercial swishy blow dry finish that you might try and get when you go
to the salon as you can see by the ones we've got here chloe and here and there
they come in a lot of different sizes with different attachments different price points
but in general they all do one thing in common and that is they blow hot air through the bristles of
the brush to give you that blow-dry finish my hair is a it's not thick but it's not thin as
well i do think that there's it's just right it's just damaged if i don't blow dry my hair it's like
like chaos yeah obviously chloe's hair is a lot longer than mine you got a lot of hair
and it has a bit more texture partly because of the bleaching and color damage whereas i
no judgment no judgment i mean i've never dyed my hair but i have short hair and it's virgin hair so
it's never been dyed which means kind of what i need out of a hair tool is going to be very
different to what chloe needs out of a hair tool when i do leave the house i like my hair to look
slick so what i do is i grab the round brush and then get my hair dryer and do this action with
it that takes a lot of skill i'm very impressed thank you you are a lady of so many talents chloe
but it takes a lot of skill coordination but also like your arms just get like your wrists and your
arms get sore but the whole point is to is to make that process a lot easier with one of these tools
chloe has the hot tools volumizer and the silver bullet i have the dyson air wrap and the mermaid
volumizing hot brush so we're gonna take these home give them a test give them a whirl and
basically show you how they work what are the features what are the pros and cons and which
one's the best for you hi guys i'm back at home and i'm going to be trying out the silver bullet
genesis hot air brush 32 millimeters this retails for 99.95 on addre when i first looked at this
online i was a bit hesitant to use it because it does look a bit scary it just looks sharp
and i thought these were going to be more stiff than i they are but they are pretty flexible
my hair is mostly dry now i just sprayed it with a heat protector i'm pretty excited to
use it today i'm going for the effortless blue wave look i'm going to be going to my local cafe
so i hope they're going to be like oh she it does have two settings it has a low and a high
and obviously my cat does not like i love them
section it's out like this let's start off with the low setting
so i would say that section is dry already goes fast
and i'm done um i was quite impressed with this one actually it was a super easy to use
i really like how this style came out it's sleek it's put together yeah it definitely exceeded my
expectations i'm pretty happy can't wait to use the hot tools next
i thought i might actually do the dyson on this side and the mermaid volumizing brush
on this side first cab off the rank is the dyson air wrap this is 799 dollars so it's definitely
up the expensive end of the scale but it's not just a hot air brush i'm not going to go
through the whole air wrap spill but basically it comes with a whole bunch of different attachments
the attachments that we're talking about today are this one which is a round volumizing brush
it also comes with two different flat hot air brush attachments so with the higher price tag
you are paying for the tech the heat never goes above 150 degrees it uses that really
powerful air pressure and the motor to actually dry and style the hair as you can see my hair
is it's still a little bit damp but mostly dry because the whole point of a hot air brush is
to kind of get that smooth shiny bouncy blow away finish not to do the heavy lifting of your
actual blow drying one thing i like to do when styling with a hot air brush is add and hair oil
specifically to the mid lengths and ends i'm using mr smith the serum it is a hair
serum and heat protectant in one gives you that glossy beautiful shiny swishy finish
so that's our first piece of hair done and
you can see the difference it has some body a bit of movement
another tip you can do is really use it like you would an actual brush so wrap the hair around
or as you're going down you can rotate the brush like this to keep it moving down the barrel so you
just change them by clicking this old button on the end and it pops out like that i would
probably use this flatter hot brush attachment to do most of my hair just because it's a bit quicker
but then what i would do is go and use the round one to get that nice blow dry wave at the front
i will add always pressing wrong buttons
finish off the front with this attachment to get the blow dry finish
that's this side done with the dyson air app nice and shiny and glossy clearly the dyson air wrap
is more expensive at 7.99 but it is basically seven styling tools in one so if you're someone
that styles your hair a lot and you like to do a few different looks you like to do
straight smooth bouncy blow dry actual barrel curls and waves all different types of hairstyles
and you do it often then definitely the dyson air up is worth the investment it's also
great if you have that thicker coarser longer hair because it is just a more powerful tool
today i'm going to be trying the volumizer by hot tools um this set here comes with a mini
brush as well not a it's not mini okay it's a smaller brush this set retails for 189 on a
door the other one with just one attachment is 149. i think i'm going to be using the
smaller head just like i feel like i have a bit more control and here are the heads side by side
i'm going to brush my hair first just because i don't want my hair to be stuck on all the bristles
i still managed to get hair all over it so that was pretty easy i don't know if
i mentioned in the beginning but my hair was about 70 dry i quite like it i was actually
really excited to use the volumizer because everyone who i have talked to
who has used it loves it i can see why it's really easy to use and it's pretty powerful
did you see me try to style my hair i think this looks super cute i think with a bit more practice
i'll be able to perfect it but i'm actually really enjoying this tool look i made a little flexi see
i just have to say i'm completely obsessed with the way you styled my hair
it feels so sleek it was pretty minimal effort
the ends are nice and shiny and that really lives up to everyone's hype i'm so impressed
now on the complete opposite end of the bargain to bougie
spectrum we have the new mermaid volumizing hot brush it's not the biggest one so it's not as
big as that large head on the hot tools volumizer but it's also not as thin as
the silver bullet genesis or this attachment on the dyson air wrap 89 bucks so definitely more
on the bargain more affordable side of things on this one you have three settings that you can use
there's a cool blast so that's really great for kind of setting your style at the end
i really like how you have this bit on the end because you can
then use it for more control to turn the brush over um and you can do more of a tucked
under blow dryer almost like a rachel from friends kind of tucked under style
oh my goodness what is that what is that that's my hair loss regrowth coming back through gorgeous
the hair is definitely hotter to touch when you're using the mermaid and that's because you're using
it at a hotter at a hotter temperature it's not a bad thing it's just something to note
okay that is the finished hot air blow drying this side was courtesy of the dyson air wrap
with a few different attachments and this side was courtesy of the mermaid blow drying brush
both look great really it comes down to budget and versatility i would say one thing to note
about this one is that the bristles aren't um very sturdy is that the word i'm looking
for there's a little bit more pulling on the hair because it can get stuck in these
um whereas the dyson attachments are quite rigid but they have this little fan dangly bit
that moves like that so it can kind of move with the hair this one you just need to be
careful not to use too much hair as you're going around but for 89 bucks can't really go wrong
and that is our review of our best-selling hot air brushes what do you guys reckon
