INFINITIPRO BY CONAIR Titanium Ceramic Hot Air Brush, 1 1/2-Inch Hot Air Styling Brush

The media could not be loaded. FINALLY!! A dryer brush that works as good as, or better, than my old one! I just got this today and couldn't wait to try it out. The reviews indicated that it was worth the purchase, and it IS.4 years ago my trusty old conair dryer brush fell apart. I've been through 3 dryer brushes since then, none of which worked worth a darn, and didn't hold out much hope of finding one at all that would work with my thick longish hair.Well...my hair looks fabulous...BETTER than when I get it done at the salon. Seems no one at the salon ever listens to me and does my hair *exactly* the way I like it. Don't have to worry about that anymore. I can go back to doing it myself, and it looks just the way I want it. My hair is slightly curly and when left to air dry, it gets frizzy...and if they don't dry it COMPLETELY at the salon...it gets frizzy. No worries with this - I dry it until it slips through the bristles like silk and I know it's perfect. The bristles on this brush are really great with my hair. Most of the ones I've tried in the past few years have "hair type bristles" that will not go all the way through my hair and are a real pain. The bristles on this are a combination of hair and hard plastic bristles...exactly what is needed for thick hair...they work great.I saw where several people complained about the controls...I didn't find that to be a problem for me at all. They are right at the perfect place where I can easily slide it from low to high or to cool. I usually only use high anyway, but I didn't think it was an issue.I will post a video review when I get time.LOVE this product!*ADDED COMMENT* January 15, 2015: I am still using this dryer brush and still love it! I am purchasing one for my Mom, in fact. I would love to add a couple of before/after pics, but cannot figure out how to do that. This is the only drying tool I use, and 98% of the time, except for heat protectant, I don't use mousse or any other product to make my hair behave, and it's always perfect.

I bought both this JF hot air styler and I also bought the Conair Pro Infinity Hot Air Spin Brush. This one, the John Frieda ( JF) is rated #2 and the Conair is rated #1.Here are the main differences I found and maybe it will help someone decide which would work better for them. The JF hot air styler I bought has the 1 1/2 in barrel. The Conair I bought is the 2 inch barrel.The main difference is that the Conair does spin in 2 directions. Both work best with towel dried and more like 75-80% dried hair. Both are easy to use. They both has 3 settings. Low, hot and a cool setting.My hair is naturally curly. Not super hard to control, but it's curly. I use a Conair hair dryer with a brush attachment. It does fine, and I also have a Chi flat iron. My hair can be styled very straight if I want.I had tried the Instyler years ago and then again a couple years ago, and I just couldn't get the hang of it I guess.I was very excited to try the Conair spin brush. I did and have been using it. The JF pictured here doesn't spin, but it's the same premise, and it grips the hair nicely and then you go over the area and if you want to curl your hair just brush, roll up your hair and then wait a few seconds or so and it does a great job.The JF has great bristles. I wish the Conair had the same kind. There are soft ones in the brush, but also some sturdier ones that grab your hair easily. Conair has all soft bristles. It only grip my hair well when I utilize the spin controls, and then it grabs my hair and gives a continuous amount of rotation until you stop holding down the button. And it does spin both ways as I mentioned. If the Conair had some harder bristles with the softer bristles, it would grasp hair without needing to use the spinning part. but it is great.Both are great products! I have a med to long bob shaped hair cut. Both work great, no tangling at all either. Either one is a great buy and I am glad I have both. The smaller barrel size I purchased with the JF works great for those who have shorter hair. Both add lift at the roots and they both really do a great job. I have never been able to hold a hair dryer and use a round brush to blow dry my hair. Both these hot air brushes give you that "blow out look".If you have shorter hair? I'd try the Conair in a smaller size. As I said, I have the 2". The JF 1 1/2" does fine. It's a smaller barrel and not so many fluffy bristles like the Conair.Love them both. I think the Conair would be even better if it had some harder bristles blended in to catch the hair more easily.All in all? both are great and glad I got them both! Hope it help someone choose!

My Vidal Sassoon hot air brush that I have had for many years is making signs that its end is near so I began searching for a replacement. My hair is shorter than chin length so I needed a brush that was 1 1/ 2 inches in diameter or less which seems to be a very difficult thing to find right now. I read hundreds of reviews on many many hot air brushes and finally settled on this one. It is bigger in diameter than I would prefer but it works very well, drying and styling my hair in a short amount of time. For the people who reported it did not get hot enough to dry their hair, I found that the selection switch is labeled "Off, Low, High, Cool" in that order. Possibly those folks were pushing the switch to the top expecting it to be the hottest, but that is not the case, at least on mine, High is the third position. In fact it gets too hot to touch the barrel or the far end of the wand, which is why I took away a star: I like to stabilize the end of the dryer with my other hand and this dryer makes it very difficult to do the styling in that manner.Overall I find I like this dryer a lot and am happy with the purchase. Because of so many 1 star reviews stating that the dryer quit after a very short time, I purchased a 3 year insurance plan on it. It would be a five star dryer if the barrel was a bit smaller in diameter and the far end had a better surface to hold onto when the barrel is too hot to touch.
