Maybe it’s just us, but somehow no matter what products we use (and no matter how long we devote to the process), we somehow cannot get our blowout to look anywhere as good as when we visit a professional blow dry bar—until now that is.
Meet the ceramic round brush from Drybar. This revolutionary round brush has NanoIonicTM technology in the barrel that heats up dramatically during your blow-dry sessions, helping to set curls and create moveable volume. Pretty genius, huh (we think so)? The built-in NanoIonicTM technology makes it so that our brush can act as our curling iron. And, did we mention the bristles on this brush reduce frizz and add shine? We seriously love everything about this revolutionary beauty tool, and after you try it, we promise, you will too.
Drybar’s “magic” brush comes in three different sizes — keep reading for how-to-use tutorials and to shop the brush that’s right for you!
Drybar ‘Half-Pint’ Small Round Ceramic Brush
The Drybar ‘Full Pint’ Medium Round Ceramic Brush creates loose curls and waves in medium to long hair while helping straighten and add volume to shorter and medium styles.
According to Drybar, this is how to use the brush for the best results:
For loose curls and waves: Use vertically throughout the hair.
For volume at the roots: Use horizontally at the crown.
For straightening: Use horizontally throughout the hair.
Hair Types: Great for medium to long hair and for straightening short to medium hair.
Drybar ‘Double Pint’ Large Round Ceramic Brush
The Drybar ‘Double Pint’ Large Round Ceramic Brushcreates loose curls and waves in medium to long hair while helping straighten and add volume to shorter and medium styles. According to Drybar, this brush is best for creating loose curls and waves in medium to long hair. An ergonomic, lightweight design also eases muscle fatigue and strain during styling while a streamlined, one-piece handle eliminates hair catching and pulling.
According to Drybar, this is how to use the brush for the best results:
For loose curls and waves: use vertically throughout the hair.
For volume at the roots: use horizontally at the crown.
For straightening: use horizontally throughout the hair.
Drybar The Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush
This is the ultimate blowout brush. It’s a hairbrush that combines the hot air of a blow-dryer with the structure of a round brush. The Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush is one of the best tools to create a smooth, shiny blowout with tons of volume in one quick and simple step.
How to use: After shampooing, thoroughly towel-dry your hair to remove excess water. Brush out your hair using a detangling comb or a brush and separate into large sections. Place The Double Shot underneath each section and work it slowly from roots to ends until the section is dry and smooth. For volume at the roots, use horizontally at the crown. It can also be used on dry hair to create a smooth, finished look. Please note that if you have extra-thick or long hair, it may be necessary to rough-dry hair with a regular blow-dryer before using The Double Shot.
Drybar “Hold Me” Hair Clips
We’re also loving the Drybar ‘Hold Me’ Hair Clips (4-Pack). These sweet and effective hair clips are great for sectioning your hair as you blowdry. The alligator jaw design securely holds a large amount of hair out of your way so you can style with ease.
According to Drybar, this is the best way to use the clips for damp styling and for wet styling:
For damp styling: use the lower arm as a comb to create vertical sections in hair and clip. This makes blow-drying more effective and efficient.
For dry styling: use the lower arm to create horizontal sections below the part in dry hair and clip.
DryBar High Tops Self-Grip Rollers
These low-maintenance rollers by Drybar lift just where you want it at the crown of your head. The secret is in the gentle self-grip material that provides a strong hold while preventing damage to hair. Two sizes allow for customizable volume on any length hair.
How to use: Create a three-inch section at the crown of the head and comb through so it’s smooth and free of tangles. Starting from the ends, roll the hair toward the base of the section, away from the face. Leave in for 10-15 minutes. For best results, use rollers when hair is still warm from a blow-out. Remove the rollers and tousle hair to break up the shape. Set with hairspray and ta-da! Blowout and go!
