Best hot brush for thick hair: Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumiser

Why we love it: Team GLAMOUR are huge fans of the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer. Using the same Iconic Technology as previous editions but with a titanium coating, the One-Step makes it so easy to achieve shiny locks. It’s ultra-speedy – we spent approx 10 minutes on a Zoom call with one of Revlon’s hair stylists, and managed to achieve an Insta-worthy blow-dry before the time was up. Our only qualm? It can be quite loud.

Thicker hair often takes longer to style – and usually demands more heat, more tools, and more time. That’s where this cult Revlon hot brush comes in handy. The wide 50mm oval barrel is ideal for covering more surface area in fewer goes, while the ionic technology helps smooth down frizz, and leave hair looking shiny rather than sizzled. It combines the power of a hairdryer with the volume-boosting benefits of a round brush, making it a go-to for those who want to speed through their styling routine without compromising on results.

Product specifications:

• Barrel size: 50mm.
• Cool shot: Yes.
• Features: Ionic technology for fast, silky-smooth, shiny results.
• Settings: 3 heat & 2 speed settings.
• Hair types: Suitable for all hair types.
• Weight: 700 g.

Best 5-in-1 hot brush: Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1

Why we love it: Incredibly versatile and suitable for all hair types, the Shark FlexStyle has a variety of functions and even doubles as a hair dryer. It comes with a variety of attachments too, including auto-wrap curlers, a paddle brush, an oval shape brush, as well as a diffuser and concentrator. It’s ideal for straight, wavy and thicker hair and leaves hair feeling much smoother, making it a reputable ‘dupe’ for Dyson’s design.

What makes this popular brush really stand out is how well it balances performance with hair health. It features intelligent heat control to prevent extreme heat damage – ideal for regular use – and dries hair surprisingly quickly for a non-traditional dryer. Whether you’re going for a voluminous blowout, a smooth everyday style, or beachy waves, it’s basically a full glam squad in one handy, compact tool. Our only issue? It’s pretty weighty, so expect a good arm workout as you’re styling.
