Grabs My Fine Hair Well But Lacks A Cool Setting Needed To Smooth, Lock In Style & Prevent Damage
I have fine hair that lacks body, but still gets frizzy. I blow my hair out and use a round brush or use a blow dryer brush to add style and body and also smooth out the frizz. This Kinga Blow Dryer Brush isn’t the first blow dryer brush I’ve used and like others it’s a low wattage dryer (only 1000 watts) that dries and styles better after I let my hair partially air dry so it’s just damp rather than wet when I use the dryer. It dries and adds style from a combo of hot air and the hot air heating up the inner barrel.<br /><br />This dryer has a large oval shaped brush with stiff plastic bristles that grab my fine hair well enough that I can get the tension I need to style my hair. But I still don’t get smooth hair and can’t lock in style and body as the unit lacks a cool air setting. The lowest setting before “off” blows warm air, so I’m not getting the quick cool down I need and my hair continues to get heat from the hot barrel and warm air. In addition to that creating styling issues, I’m concerned my fragile hair may get heat damage as the barrel ends up staying hot too long.<br /><br />The sliding control does turn the unit off and works as described with low, medium and high settings. But I feel it misses the mark as the low setting should be a cool not warm, and the medium setting feels more like a low setting with weak air flow. I need the high setting as my hair is so resistant to holding shape and body, but I’d normally toggle between high and a cool setting for hold and to prevents damage but this lacks that option. That feature is a deal breaker for me, so I can’t fully recommend this dryer. The dryer may be fine for those who don’t use a cool setting. I can’t gauge durability at this time. 3 stars.
