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

Pros: Great product, very easy to use, I don't sweat like I did using a dryer and a brush anymore. Great for fast touch-ups when you're on the go, and just need a minute or so. The brush has a great grip, because they are real hair bristles, and if you have curly hair that is a definite plus, because it helps you to really straighten your hair. I keep the dryer taught at my roots, and pull the brush forward to add volume before going backward. I also rotate the brush as I am drying my hair, since the brush itself does not spin or rotate, and it helps to keep the hair taught and make it straighter. I like the fact that there is no hair on the floor when I finish drying my hair, whereas with the blowdryer there would be strands of hair all over the house. With this product, all of the strays stay within the brush itself, which makes for very easy cleanup, you just clean as you would a normal brush. My husband is happy to not find hairs everywhere! Cons: It does take a long time to dry your hair, which is why it is a good idea to let your hair air dry (or use your dryer) until it is about 80% dry, and then start to use this. Make sure to section your hair into clips for a faster process. This product works better when there are smaller amounts to dry at a time. It would take forever on wet hair, and I think it would destroy the product. I do have to say that maybe because I have curly hair, my hair is still a bit frizzy after using this, so I do need the flat iron, but, I like the volume that the John Frieda gives my hair, so I only use the flat iron towards the ends of my hair to create a sleeker look. I would have liked a longer cord for this brush, and the directions say "do not plug into an extension cord," so I had to stand next to the bathroom mirror and outlet plug for half an hour to dry my hair. That was inconvenient. Conclusion: Overall I really like this product, but have only used it twice so far, I hope it is a long-lasting product. In the future it would be great if they can make a longer cord.

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!

I am somewhat conflicted on this product. One the one hand, it leaves me with shiny, soft, silken hair with the perfect Kate Middleton curled tendrils. I was so frustrated with my hair, I considered chopping it, until a friend recommended this product and it changed my life. I rough dry the hair with a normal hair dryer to 80% dry, then use the John Frieda 1.5 Inch Hot Air Brush to smooth the cuticle. Coworkers actually noticed how shiny my hair has become, and I look like I have a perfect blow-out every single day. As I said, the product has changed my life, and it gives me a very polished look which is invaluable as I work in a professional environment. On the other hand, I am disappointed in the cheap quality of the product. I initially bought this product a couple years ago; it flicked off a couple times and then completely died (right before work, by the way, leaving me with half a head of perfect coiffed curls and half a head of a frizzy disaster). I just ordered a new John Frieda 1.5 Inch Hot Air Brush, but it's disappointing the first died after a short period of time and I essentially had to spend over $60 on two cheap Hot Air Brushes, when I could have originally bought a hot air brush for better quality. Looking into returning the original product because it died before the warranty was up. Depending on the price, it could be worth it. I originally bought it for about $39 on Amazon ---- not worth it because the product is so cheap, unreliable, and died before warranty was up. The second time, I bought it for about $25 - I still expect the product to last through the warranty but since there aren't many comparable products at that price point, it lessens the blow if it does die. Bottom line: Keep your receipt.

...and I like them both! They are just different. I will try to describe those differences here to help people who are trying to decide between the two. Conair SpinBrush: I have had this one for about a year now, and once I figured out the rotation directions (after only a few uses) it's a breeze to use. I have never had it get tangled in my hair, but I also do not use the spinning feature constantly since my hair is fine textured and that would just result in static, frizz, and probably some breakage. I mainly use the spin feature to "grab" onto my hair, then let it sit for a few seconds to create shape and volume, then spin the opposite direction to release. I usually only use the low setting, and it gets plenty warm enough to do what I need without being overly hot. I don't find the unit heavy or uncomfortable to use, though I only use it to finish shaping my hair when it's mostly (90%) dry. It's a 2" brush so it is larger than my new 1.5" John Frieda Hot Air Brush, but it worked great on my medium-long hair. However, I recently cut my hair back into a chin-length bob, so it's a little too large to work on my shorter hair for right now. John Frieda Hot Air Brush: I purchased this one to try with my shorter haircut and have had it about a week, so here are my initial reactions in comparison to the SpinBrush: (1) I don't miss the spinning because I don't find it necessary -- the bristles of this brush "grab" my hair just fine without it, and (2) it is definitely hotter, since I have only used the low setting on it as well. Due to the heat and smaller size, this one seems to make a more defined curl at the bottom of my hair, and since I can get it closer to the roots I get more volume there as well. In fact, the first time I tried it I made my hair HUGE! So overall, based on my experience with both products I would recommend them for fine to medium textured hair, and definitely one of the JF brushes if your hair is above your shoulders. Those with longer, thicker hair may be able to take more advantage of the continuous spinning feature of the Conair, but I can't really speak to that. The Conair's bristles are a bit softer so it needs its spinning feature to really get ahold of the hair, while the JF brush is more like a regular round brush. They are both great products for those of us who have never bothered mastering the round brush blowout technique!

I have long, wavy, superfine fluff hair. I bought this as a replacement for a more inexpensive Revlon model that I have. That one gets hair caught in the barrel sometimes, and has now started to forcefully eject the barrel entirely if I try to tug it through a moderately-fluffed section of hair. It had to go. Enter the John Frieda Salon Shape. First impressions - way better construction. As a brush, it's great. Head massagey, almost. As a hot brush...meh. The old one, though a bit rugged, would dry my hair reasonably quickly, and I could twist it at the ends of my hair to get a nice curl at the bottom. The John Frieda just doesn't seem to have enough heat to make that happen. That would be forgiven if it compensated for that lack of shaping ability with extra shine and smoothness, but it doesn't. I tried again yesterday drying my hair with this brush. I didn't even try to get it to curl - I just wanted to see if I could get nice, smooth hair. Maybe that's where this thing excels. Nope. Hair = Extra Fluffy. I'm going to end up returning this because I simply can't find what it's good at. I don't have particularly thick or hard to manage hair; I mean I can get a decent curl by twisting my hair around my finger long enough, so I don't know who this is for if not someone like me. Other users have gotten good results, so maybe I'm missing something, but overall this brush was just disappointing.

(NOTE: UPDATED BELOW) LOVE this - found out about it on a Buzzfeed list of hair products for lazy people and boy are they right. It makes my hair look AMAZING - you know how your hair looks right after you've had it done? Like that. I NEVER have the patience to work the round brush with the dryer, just usually tip my head over and blow my hair around, then sort of brush it into place, then run a flat iron over it to smooth it out. This smooths/softens/curls/flounces/makes amazing. It takes a little more time/patience but completely worth it because it looks fantastic. Pro tip: shot of cold right at the end sets the style. I can go three days without washing my hair and my blow-out looks fresh. For this price it's a steal. AND I don't end up with loose hair stuck all over the bathroom walls (TMI, I know, but really - bonus). ************* So I used this for a few months - very lightly, as I only wash my hair twice a week. One morning it just stopped working, maybe 2-3 months after I bought it. Wiggled the cord, it came back on. Turned out that you had to now hold it a certain way or it wouldn't work. So I can't twist it anymore, therefore I can't make big bouncy curls anymore - so what good is it? It's just a hot air brush. So it was past the return date; I bought another one with a smaller brush circumference to get smaller, tighter curls that might last longer with my fine hair. Same thing: three months go by and the thing stops working if you turn it a certain way. And I amd NOT hard on this equipment - I was my hair twice a week, and sometimes just air dry if I'm not going out. Funny how it works until just past the return window.... Bummed!!!!! Now I have TWO hot hair brushes that I can't use to make curls. I guess I should just throw them away but I'm so mad at myself for falling for this twice.... If I'm *super* careful I can get it to work, but it takes forever and conks out every two minutes. Frustrating!!!!!

Works great

OMG this is the BEST HAIR TOOL for haircut with layers!! I recently got a haircut (3 layers in the back & 2 in the front) because i loved how it looked on others. When I tried to style it at home with a regular blow dryer and round brush i couldn't do it like the my hairstylist did it, it came out flat and straight, then i tried a Conair round brush dryer similar to this one, same frustration no results and it pulled on my hair causing breakage. I was frustrated, regretting getting this new haircut i had never tried before. I couldn't style it, it looked horrible and then i came across this AMAZING JOHN FRIEDA HOT AIR BRUSH, i read the reviews and thought i'll give it a try. I am SOOOOO GLAD i did. THIS PRODUCT IS TRULY EVERYTHING!!! It is LIGHT WEIGHT makes it very easy to hold, the heat temperature on high is perfect (first i thought it wasn't hot enough, but it's perfect to style hair without causing heat damage), THE BRISTLES are soft, hair slides through, does not pull on hair, no breakage at all. The feature that i LOVE is that it HAS A COOL SETTING to let curls cool down before releasing them (NO NEED TO USE HOT ROLLERS). This hot air brush is so great that I had to purchase one for mom as soon as i was done using it. CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS HAIR TOOL . I never bother leaving a product review but i just had to share my experience. How I use it: I use the high setting on the roots all the way down to the ends, I rolled up the ends and leave it there for about 20 secs (high setting) and then I put the cool setting on for about 10 secs, then i start unrolling the brush and gently remove it to reveal bouncy & natural looking curls. SIMPLY AMAZING!!! PICTURES SHOW RESULTS OF MY HAIR USING ONLY THIS HAIR TOOL ** <3

Fabulosa!! Mi pedido lo realice el dia 3 y su entrega se estimaba el dia 12 de febrero y llego el dia 5 de febrero, mucho antes! Y en cuanto al cepillo es perfecto! tengo muchisimo cabello muy difícil de peinar y con el cepillo no batalle para nada y me lo deja espectacular como recién salida del salon! Mega recomendado!, tener el cabello humedo al utilizar.

fast delivery, good product. I love it.

My first hot air brush dryer was a 3 1/2" and worked well for my longer hair. I had never owned one before so I really didn't have anything to compare it to. Now that I am keeping my hair shorter (chin length) I needed to purchase a smaller barreled brush. I was surprised how well this one dried, styled and was very lightweight, which is a plus! I am very happy with this model. Easy to use, bristles are softer than my previous hot air brush and the 1 1/2" size is much easier to manage.

This product is great, the waves/curls hold well until the next day even when you've slept on it. It's not TOO loud, and it's perfect for hair that's *damp/almost dry*. One thing that I had hoped for this product was that it would be faster than a curler -- it is! It dries and curls at the same time. But I do find that I can't use this straight out of the shower, I do have to wait until it's at that stage where it's still a bit damp but not all the way wet or dry in order to use this for a reasonable amount of time. Still faster than a curling iron where you have to wait for it to be fully dry. It's also not too loud but drying time of each section of hair will really depend on how wet your hair is to begin with. It doesn't get very hot, so if you're straight out the shower, it could take 2-3 minutes to dry one section of hair. It's not heavy so it won't tire your arms out while styling. Overall this is a very good product, just don't expect it to cut down styling time significantly. The curls you get are gorgeous effortless soft waves. Definitely does not have the stiffness of some curling irons out there. They look very natural, bouncy and voluminous. TLDR; still takes a bit of time to style hair with this, but the results are amazing and better than a curling iron.

Received the product well within time. And yes it does work well on frizzy hair. It takes some time but does the job satisfactorily. So a good buy overall
