Key specs – Material: Ceramic barrel; Heat settings: 2; Cool blast: Yes; Cord length: 2.5m; Auto switch-off: No I finally managed to get into the salon, I had a hair cut; I had some balayage... it was great! And I decided to get some curtain bangs in the spur of the moment," Lottie said. "Feeling pretty good about the decision to get bangs... it's not too long so nothing too drastic. But I don't really know how to style my hair at the best of times, let alone this new situation. So I'm hoping that this [the BaByliss Hydro Fusion Air Styler] will be able to help."

Brushes that blow out warm air usually work best on damp hair, which has been washed and towel dried to around 80% dry. Section the hair, then start at the root, pulling the brush slowly through it. Similar to blow drying, the tension from gently but continuously pulling through the hair creates the style. If your brush rotates, pull it smoothly through the hair in the direction of rotation and allow it to wrap hair around the barrel as it goes.Key specs – Heating element: Ceramic/ionic; Temperature settings: 2; Speed settings: 2; Cold shot button: Yes; Power: 2,100W; Cable length: 3m; Weight: 1,540g; Accessories: Concentrator nozzle (diffuser attachment available separately) Californian beauty brand T3 launched its stylish and versatile AireBrush Duo in 2021 – and, offering gentler heat settings, it’s ideal for hair that’s fine, delicate or heat-damaged. When it comes to buying gadgets and technology products, particularly in the Hair Care category it’s important to invest in good quality products. BABYLISS Hydro-Fusion 4-in-1 Hot Air Styler is no exception. There are a number of reasons why quality is so important when it comes to these types of products. Digital (EC) motors: Hair health has been on the drying industry’s mind for some time, and the latest “digital motors” (also known as EC or electronically commutated motors) allow for increased air velocity with reduced heat, so you don’t need a high wattage to experience powerful drying results on a lower heat setting. Lower heat settings are ideal for all hair types, but especially for curly hair, which can easily become dehydrated as a result of heat styling. The Style iQ’s powerful airflow means the dryer’s cooler settings are still effective, so you can dry your hair efficiently without toasting it. In addition, the dryer uses ionic technology to moisturise the hair as it dries; our hair was smooth, glossy and hydrated after drying. The cool shot setting is handy to seal the cuticle and set your style once you’ve finished drying. A smart and stylish dryer that leaves hair feeling healthy, with clever attachments to help you find the ideal settings for your preferred style.

The Airebrush uses ionic technology to reduce drying time and to hydrate, giving hair a soft, frizz-free and glossy finish. Like the Airwrap, the Airebrush can be used on damp hair, saving you time since you can dry as you style. This is a good option for those who want to blow-dry from damp and like to switch up their look between curls and smooth styles. I am testing an at-home hair dye, Josh Wood Colour, to cover my grey that is growing exponentially but also to try and even out my colour tone," Deborah said. "Because as you can see, I've ended up with a kind of balayage, which wasn't intentional at all." The 1000W brush features two temperature settings plus a cool setting. In addition, it’s light in the hand, easy to manoeuvre and super-simple to use. Both the paddle brush and the round brush give good results that last all day, and thanks to the combination of ceramic coating and ionic technology in the brush, hair feels soft and shiny after styling. A good addition to the Hydro Fusion range. We first note the method the tool uses to style – whether that’s a heated barrel, hot air, or a combination of the two – and, where applicable, we test the various heat and timer settings on offer. We then record the time taken to style a full head of hair, noting both the hair length and hair texture upon which the tool is being tested – and, whenever possible, we test on more than one hair type.The Supersonic ships with a number of different comb and diffuser attachments that fit to the dryer using magnets. Along with the usual diffuser attachment and concentrator nozzle, it comes with a Flyaway attachment to smooth down hairs for a sleek finish, and a Gentle Air attachment with a wavy edge that diffuses the airflow more evenly – perfect for drying fine hair gently. Dyson’s intelligent heat sensors monitor the temperature constantly to prevent accidental overheating and keep hair healthy. As well as evaluating the overall ease of use of each Dyson Airwrap dupe, we assess its comfort in the hand in use, and the softness and feel of the hair after curling. We also confirm the weight and dimensions of the hair-styler and note any extras included in the box. Finally, we assess how long the finished style lasts over the course of a typical day.

The Nanoe also has an innovative alternating hot and cold mode, which blasts hot air along the hair shaft to flatten and style, followed automatically by cool air to seal the cuticle and set the style. A scalp mode gently dries the roots and scalp at 50˚C, and is particularly good for dry and sensitive scalps. The dryer is lightweight and has a foldable handle, making it neat to store at home and perfect for travel. There’s no doubt that the Dyson Airwrap Complete is expensive; but ease of use, the variety of styles you can create, and the benefits to hair health make it a worthwhile investment for those who heat-style hair regularly. In general, a higher wattage indicates a more powerful and effective dryer. Hair salons will typically use dryers with 2,000W motors and above, allowing experienced stylists to blow-dry efficiently. However, like many salon products, these powerful tools are best left in the hands of professionals who know how to wield them safely. At-home hair dryers usually fall in the 1,000W-1,600W range. Key specs – Styling method: Hot air with Coanda effect hair wrapping; Barrel size: 31.75mm; Heat settings: 3; Cool blast: Yes; Cord length: 2.44m

A hot paddle brush is great for straightening hair in a jiffy, while a round hot brush will deliver more red-carpet volume and bounce. Choose the right hot brush for your hair type, texture and desired finish, and you can achieve a professional-looking blow-dry at home – in far less time than a home blowout would take, and at a fraction of the price of a trip to the salon.
