Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought the revlon dryer brush and the tres semme dryer brush. The photos show the size difference, it's not clear but the revlon brush and similar no name brand models are oblong, with long flat sides (about 3") and curves on the edges. I was totally surprised by how big it was and that it wasn't round. It is too big for my bangs but ok for the sides. It straightens very well and dries in a few minutes and I have thick hair that is usually wavy and frizzes and flips up. My hair hasn't flipped at all, and little frizz even on a rainy day. I ended up buying the tresemme brush in order to try to get some lift with my bangs and shorter parts of my hair. The tresemme only has short plastic bristles that aren't holding my thick hair on the brush as well, but it is giving some lift and a bit more curl on the ends. The drying power is not as strong so it takes longer to dry with the tresemme. The dryer brush is a lot easier to use than a flat iron, and doesn't leave any edge marks like the flat iron, it looks shiny and more natural. Wish I had tried this 20 years ago. Both have low, high, and cool settings. The revlon is a handful to hold but it dries fast. Neither brush spins on it's own, and I'm glad about that as I don't want my hair getting tangled. The revlon brush has a mixture of longer plastic bristles and shorter natural bristles-- which does pull a little hair out as you self spin (nothing that I can feel) the brush which you can see in the photo. Anyway, I'm using a combo, using the revlon to straighten the longer hair and the tresemme for the shorter hair to get some lift and large curl. If you have a stacked cut or shorter cut the tresemme is probably the best size brush if you only want one. You might want to dry it a little bit then use it to style. The cords spin on both so they don't get twisted up. They both get pretty hot on high so try no to touch the center and keep rotating the brush so you don't burn your hair, try the lower setting if it's a problem. The revlon brush is definitely better for longer hair.
