Revlon Pro Collection Salon One Step Straight and Shine Hair Straightening Brush, X-Large

Product Information

Those with finer or less dense hair can get away with using smaller tools since they have less hair that needs to be styled. We appreciate that this brush only heats up to 365 degrees, meaning it’s less likely to damage your locks. Also noteworthy is the inclusion of a pre-styling dryer which helps ensure your hair isn’t soaking wet when you straighten it (though this tool can be used on damp strands).

Those with colored, bleached, or otherwise damaged hair, but still want to straighten it every once in a while will appreciate this far-infrared brush. After the testing period, testers completed a questionnaire rating ease of use, performance and overall satisfaction. Simply run it over towel-dried locks in a downward motion, and watch it dry and straighten at the same time.This top-rated hot brush aims to increase shine as it straightens, and uses the structure of a paddle brush to seamlessly glide through wavy, curly, or tightly coiled hair with ease. The Right Size Brush for Your Hair Type: Trygstad says the size of the brush is another factor to take into consideration. The name gives the game away, the gadget resembles a hair brush in its design that you glide from root to tip, encouraging your strands to fall in line with greater manageability and tackling those hard-to-reach areas like the back of the head.

This straightening brush will work well on all hair types, but may not do the best straightening job on those with thicker or curlier hair.

We focused on the straightening head, which was different from any of the other ones that we tried – rather than having hard bristles, these bristles are very soft. You can even use it to up the va-va volume by placing the head at the roots, creating tension by pulling at the strands and brushing in an upwards motion. If you want that sleek, shiny, Cher Hair look, you’ll still want to reach for your trusty straightening iron. We especially liked the anti-scald technology, which meant we could use the tool close to our roots without burning our head.

The Ring Plus also has a safety shut-off that kicks in after 30 minutes, and comes with a neat travel bag and two handy sectioning pins. Before joining Dotdash Meredith, she was a global editorial manager at NYX Professional Makeup, beauty director at HOLA USA, and beauty editor at Latina Magazine. Unusually, the edge of the brush is heated, which helps keep the temperature even as you stroke the brush through the hair and allows easy styling of waves as well as poker-straight hair.

With a sixty-second heat up time, we were off to a flying start, and small details like the 360 degrees swivel cord made styling simple. We tried these brushes over a couple of weeks on long, thick hair that’s prone to unruliness and waves. She has thick, curly hair that usually takes her an hour and a half to straighten, but she says this brush got her down to a maximum of 45 minutes. One feature that a few reviewers noted was noticeably missing: a temperature guide in the directions for hair type. Start by choosing a temperature that’s suitable for your hair type and texture – lower temperatures are good for fine or damaged hair, while higher temperatures suit thick and coarse hair.
