I had a Revlon hot air brush that burned off random locks of hair! I need volume but want to save my hair. Has anyone had problems with burnt hair?

It doesn't burn your hair. I felt it didn't style it. It worked more like a hair dryer.

I've been using this for about 2 months and haven't noticed any damage at all. My hair is generally healthy and I do wait until it's about 80% dry before styling though. I start each section on high for about 10 seconds and then switch to the cooler setting for about the same amount of time. I generally have my free hand near the brush as I'm styling and I haven't ever felt that it was getting too hot to touch. As another person mentioned, it styles my hair in loose curls or waves, partially because of the size of the brush and perhaps because it's not as hot. Not for you if you want dramatic curls, imo.

The john Frieda I have does not burn my hair. It has 2 heat and 1 cool setting and it works great. If your hair is burning, that means the settings are to high and keep moving the hot air through your hair. Dont let it stay in one place to long and use a cream for hair drying to protect the hair. Good luck

i had this problem a few months ago, however if you remover the brush and remove the hair from it, it works. Hope this solves your issue.NB I watched the YouTube video on how to clean the brush

I would sta wih the brush reccommeded by the wig or hairpiece manufacturer. The wood bristles caused static in my natural fine hair.

Hi Turtlesaver...thought I'd share with you this update on another flat iron. I took a chance and bought the Conair YOU flat iron....while it doesn't get super hot (two settings hi-lo)...it has "plates" that curve around the sides which seem to deal well with the rough ends issue. It works best if you've straightened your hair with a round brush and hair dryer first....which is what I typically do. If you're going from wavy to straight the Conair You won't be hot enough. The Infinity Pro I ended up returning it was awful. Here's the link to the other if you want to check it out :) Conair YOU Style Straightener Hi Turtlesaver...thought I'd share with you this update on another flat iron.

Hi Angela . . . I think I know what you're talking about. It's a plastic type brush with holes so the air can go through it . . . yes? I think sometimes it's call an "anti-static" brush - 2pcs Curved Blow Drying Vent Brush Barber Salon Hair Brush Hair Styling Brush Anti-static (Amazon's title). Other times it's a styling brush - Spornette Metro Collection Tunnel Styling Brush. I also saw another brush at the Sally's Beauty supply site (www.sallybeauty.com) - Brush Strokes Anti-Static Tunnel Vent Brush. Is this close to what you're looking for? If yes . . . YAY!

Hi Elizabeth,I think the bristles are too soft. There are two types of bristles on the brush- thin short ones which are fairly soft, and a bit longer ones slightly harder. They sit next to each other but even so, in combination, did not grab my hair and hold it in place. For this reason I returned the brush. My hair is short, thick and curly and I try to straighten every time I blow dry. I have yet to find a good hot air brush that would do the job.

I noticed a 'burnt odor' emanating from the hair dryer before initial use and was also concerned. After a few weeks of daily operation, the odor's dissipated. We've had our Remington hair dryer for several months now, and there's no unusual odor, just normal from what you'd expect from a very hot heating element.

Honestly, I do not suggest you buy this model. Maybe I just got a bad one, but it didn't work and I returned it. I suggest you try one made by Revlon. They all blow hot air, but with less force than a blow dryer. The barrel does get hot, be careful if you hold your hair around it. I actually love the hot air brush as opposed to a curling iron, it's gentler on your ends, but the result is more subtle and doesn't last as long as a curling iron. It works best if you use it on damp, not wet hairI hope this helps.

I had mine for longer than only a few months but it did start losing heat. I think it may be because of element getting clogged due to hair product but I would check with manufacturer to get clear answer and possible solution.

Hello! If you're asking about the hard bonnet hair dryer on the rolling stand, the answer is no! I only used it once before it copped out on me. It was loud and smelled like burning. I now use the Gold n Hot soft bonnet portable dryer, which I love. I've been using it for 2 years and it works very well. Hope this helps!

If you can find Conair Instant Heat Hot Brush 1" or smaller I would recommend it. I have the one that's 1 1/4" as Ihave long fine hair (shorter on the top) and I love it...have been using it for years....Good Luck

My hair is slightly thin and it has done no more damage than my straightener. Just use a heat protection product also.

No. I manually turn the tool when I dry my hair. This is the 3rd one I have purchased because I really like it. I am not very good with a blow dryer and a hair brush. The Hot Tool Prof 1073 is much easier for me.

I just received this hair dryer and can't seem to find a diffuser that works. If anyone can answer this question, I'd be grateful, otherwise I'll have to return the dryer.

I've never had this problem. This brush is amazing...it make drying my hair so effortless. No need to tug on hair as you pull hair through while using blow dryer...almost effortless! Best brush I've ever owned to blow dry my hair.

This gets hot..I rarely use it at hottest setting..I love it..it blows my hair shiny and smooth without much effort..I can just use condenser, and aim down..little brush work needed.

450! 450 does not burn your hair at all, it just works better and quicker. However, it does leave a kind of "burnt" smell in your hair, but you can expect that smell to go away in 1 or 2 days. Also, if you do not want to deal with the smell in the first place you can buy a heat protecter spray, my friend uses this one and it works great: Silk Elements MegaSilk Heat Protection Spray. here is the link: Silk Elements MegaSilk Heat Protection Spray
