(Part 2) Best hot-air hair brushes according to redditors

For around $100 I wouldn't do it. I think a hot air brush (like this one http://www.amazon.com/HAIRART-H3000-Hot-Styler-Model/dp/B003HESCAG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1369629974&sr=8-4&keywords=hair+art+hot+air+brush) would do just as well, if not better. She could use it while her hair is slightly damp as well. I sell it where I work and people seem to like it. The air flow isn't too strong, the bristles retract, and it comes with two different barrel sizes. There's also this heat brush (http://www.amazon.com/Hairart-Heat-Brush-Pro-Ronking/dp/B0077DLDBS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1369629974&sr=8-2&keywords=hair+art+hot+air+brush) from the same company that looks similar as well. I'm personally leery of beauty products shown in infomercials. I think instead I would go for a hot air brush.

I have never been able to style my hair. Thank god I don't have any girls or they would be a rats nest of horrible hair on their heads.

I make it nice by simplicity. I have wavy/not curly in a bad way hair texture. It got even worse after I had kids. I refuse to have my hair cut in any way except long layers. I blow dry the crap out of it and then use a blow dry curling thing like this(I have literally had this thing since I was in high school..I am 36) to curl it under and make it all stylish and whatever.

If I dont have time or patience for that I put it up in a clip wet or a ponytail and hope for the best.

Don't even get me started on make up... my mom is probably internally ashamed of me because she is and always was the type to spend an hour and a half styling her hair and putting on makeup in the morning.

There are all types of girls, I could never put my hair up any way that is pretty, and I wear barely any makeup at all, but I consider myself girly.

I use this one: Infiniti Pro by Conair Spin Air Rotating Styler; 2-inch AND 1 1/2-inch; Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010XIHC54/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_DZ1EzbAPJVXQD

At first I thought it would tangle, but it just doesn't. I'm actually pretty amazed. I style my hair one-handed, because the other hand holds a coffee mug :p

Dude, I so feel ya. My hair was a rats nest so I got it straightened overseas. For quicker hair drying, try a wet/brush dryer. So much easier than a hair dryer. I use Infiniti by conair wet/dry hair dryer on myself and daughter and it really cuts down on frizziness. For french braiding, you can try this.

The upside down with a paddle brush is what I do mostly. For fancy occasions, I use a brush/blowdryer combination that means you can do the ends one-handed. Liked it so much I bought one for my dear daughter-in-law. (and you look amazing and young!)

It's that exact one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pneumatic-Brush-Bristle-Nylon-Large/dp/B003URZMRG/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485286683&sr=8-3&keywords=comair+hairbrush+pneumatic. Its also available on the German amzon. Not sure they ship to the US though.

Mischief Managed (I have no idea if I'm doing this right, but you said to post them here, lol)

Riddle the First: Goblet. Since it is likely to be on fire, I might as well have some fun little Mystical Fire Campfire Fireplace Colorant Packets to toss into it. They make the flames change colors, without the use of an incantation.

Riddle the Second: A broomstick. I can't afford a top of the line Nimbus, so I've got to worry about getting splinters. Luckily I'm handy and could use this power sander to get rid of them and have a smooth ride.


Riddle the Third: A hat. I get horrible hat-hair, s the Revlon Volume Stay Titanium Hot Air Kit would be on my person all day, every day.

Riddle the Fourth: A book/multiple books. Most of my books are on the Kindle App now, and at some point I'd like to get an actual Kindle. I would give it the Verso Prologue cover. It's a Kindle holder that looks like a physical book. Pretty!

Riddle the Fifth: A traveling trunk. One problem with storing things in a trunk is that you end up with moth-eaten fabric. I plan on keeping moths out of my robes by spraying the interior of the box with the Cedar Spray.

Riddle the Sixth/Bonus: A cape! You know who wears a cape? DARTH VADER. How about a little cross-series cosplay mash-up? Darth Vader Costume With Cape, Belt And Mask This way I can have fun and pretend I'm using The Force, but really I'd be using legit magic. Plus, it would be funny to cast a spell while going "Khhhhh-shhhhhhhhhh". Nothing could go wrong with that. Nothing at all.

I have tons. Creams work better than sprays for me, though sometimes I'm lazy and use sprays. My favorite is Shu Uemura Essence Oil Cream; second favorite cream is Oribe Supershine. Favorite spray leave-in is Aphogee Keratin and Green Tea. I blow dry with a straightening brush like this. Lately though I've been using this, which is my new favorite thing ever. Takes longer than a brush and blow dryer, but I can do it one-handed. I also have this, which I also love. Takes ages to dry my hair though, so I don't use it as much now that my hair is long.

Get one of these! (I can't say for sure whether or not this is a legit brand/model to go for since I'm not from the US, but something similar). I have a very similar hair type to yours, and this gives me what I like to think of as a look similar to Kate Middleton ;) Plus I'm not very coordinated, and can't get to grips with the brush and blowdryer technique!

I let my hair air dry for a bit (which takes significantly less time since getting layers, so maybe look into that) or just go over it with a regular hairdryer until a lot of the excess water is gone. Then I section in into 2-3 inch chunks from the bottom layers upwards, and just go at it. Once you get in some practice you'll be able to do your whole head in about 15 minutes.

If in doubt, look up tutorials on Youtube. Also, look for a model that has a high temperature and/or wattage, or that specifically states it is for drying the hair - some are just for adding volume once your hair has already been styled, so don't need to be as hot/powerful.

The difference between my hair texture when I put a little bit (A LITTLE BIT) of coconut oil on my ends before blow drying is night and day. See also: argan oil.

Also, those hot wands with the brush bristles instead of flattening or curling your hair. Hair straighteners are effectively smashing your hair between two hot plates (not great for it) and it's flattening the body. Slowly brushing heat through your hair gives it a MUCH more natural style. Honestly has been the most life-altering thing I've done for my hair style and healthwise.
