The best hot brushes to fast-track your way to a supermodel blowout

Leveraging the same wet-to-dry technology as the brand's Duet straightening tool which launched last year, Ghd's new Duet Blowdry is similarly stellar.

Unlike the Rise – Ghd's slim hot brush intended for styling only – this tool dries and styles, taking hair from wet to blow-dried in one swift session. And it's simple: simply brush as you rough-dry the hair, then use it as a traditional hot brush on sections to create root lift, bouncy body and beautiful curled ends.

Another do-it-all styling tool, Shark's recently launched (and consistently sold-out) FlexStyle replaces your hairdryer, diffuser, curler and brushes.

The hairdryer is impressively powerful (honestly, it beats every traditional dryer we've tried) and thanks to the brushless motor, it's quiet too. The two brush attachments makes light work of smoothing long and thick lengths, while the diffuser is a welcome inclusion. And the curlers? Expect salon-standard tousled texture in a matter of minutes.

This one might not be quite as aesthetically pleasing as leading models, but it performs just as well – if not better.

A leader in innovation, it’s no exaggeration to say that Dyson has redesigned how we approach haircare. With six attachments to suit all hair types and styles, the Airwrap is a hot brush like no other.

There are three airflow speeds to choose from and various temperatures, including a cool shot for setting your style. The multi-directional curler delivers red-carpet results in mere seconds (trust us, it's easy to master) while the paddle and round brushes grip roots to lift and smooth. Another considered inclusion, the anti-frizz attachment runs over your finished style to eliminate those pesky flyaways. The gold standard for good reason.

This round barrel hot brush uses infrared technology to provide heat with minimal damage to especially fragile strands. It promises sleek, frizz-free results while aloe-infused bristles help deliver extra moisture to thirsty hair.

We never thought we’d find anything that could rival Ghd's iconic straighteners, but then we tried the brand's Glide hot brush. Using ceramic bristles, this smart tool is designed to quickly smooth frizz and kinks, and refresh ‘second-day’ hair.

It’s lightweight, easy to use, and as with all Ghd products, the temperature is capped at 185 degrees to prevent damage. If you're after a poker-straight style, stick with the original straighteners, but for smoother straightened lengths with subtle bounce and a little volume at the root, the Glide is ideal.

From hairstylist Michael Douglas comes this clever two-in-one heat styling tool with retractable bristles that works as both a hot brush and a curling wand (it's recommended for dry hair only). The bristles come in two lengths to catch on every strand and there are five heat settings. This means a tangle-free, smooth finish, every single time.

The one that started it all, Revlon's classic hot brush has been enjoying a revival on TikTok recently, with users loving the immense volume it delivers. Used on damp hair, it'll dry lengths and set them into a bouncy, voluminous blow-dry that looks wholly professional. There are variable settings for thick and fine hair, and a cool shot to seal the deal.

Tame flyaways and refresh second day hair with this straight-forward hot brush by Cloud Nine. There are five temperature settings that do not go beyond 190 degrees in order to prevent heat damage and the combination of long and short bristles help to create enough tension for achieving soft waves.

Thicker hair types – or anybody in a hurry – will welcome this brush’s deeper bristles, as they allow you to grab bigger sections of your hair at once.

It straightens effectively and eliminates frizz: a great option for those who simply want sleeker lengths in less time.

Taking the prize for the most convenient on-the-go styler is BaByliss: this small, portable hot brush can be used to top up your style, wherever you are. It has three heat settings, with a maximum of 180 degrees, and a single charge will give you 40 minutes of styling time. A very practical investment.

And if you want even more from your tool, look to the brand's new Air Wand – a hair dryer, straightener and styler all-in-one. With two brush attachments you can get either a sleek or more bouncy blow-out with it.
