Hot Hair Brushes

Shop Hot Brushes and Thermal Brushes

A hot brush dries and styles your hair in one pass. The barrel heats up, the bristles guide your hair around it, and you finish with a blowout look without juggling a dryer and a round brush. You will also see them called thermal brushes, blowout brushes, heated round brushes and infrared hair brushes. Hot air brushes are a close cousin that blow warm air through the barrel as you style. Adore Beauty is an official stockist of ghd, Bondi Boost and Silver Bullet, so you can compare a few different styles in one place.

Hot Brushes for Smooth, Sleek Hair

If frizz is your main gripe, start with a brush built to smooth rather than lift. The ghd Glide+ Max Smoothing Hot Brush is designed for longer, thicker hair, so it suits anyone whose regular brush leaves a lot of hair to get through. The Bondi Boost Infrared Bounce Brush (101 mm) is a round hot brush that uses infrared technology to soften and smooth hair for a sleek, bouncy finish.

Hot Brushes for Volume and Body

Flat roots call for a different tool. The ghd Rise Volumising Hot Brush is designed to lift roots and add body as you dry. The Bondi Boost Blowout Brush 51mm is a volumising hot brush with a 51mm barrel, a handy middle size for quick everyday styling. If you would rather have something closer to a dryer, the Silver Bullet Genesis Hot Air Brush 38mm combines a blow dryer and brush in one appliance. There is a 32mm version too, which suits shorter hair or smaller sections.

Choosing the Right Hot Brush

Barrel size is the first thing to check. A smaller barrel gives a tighter curl and suits shorter hair, while a larger one gives looser, smoother movement through length. Think about the finish you want next: sleek and straight, bouncy, or lifted at the roots. Whichever you pick, apply a heat protectant first. A hot brush sits between a hairdryer and a pair of hair straighteners: more shape than a dryer on its own, and a softer finish than plates.
