Hot ToolsPro Signature One-Step Detachable Blow-Dry & Volumiser (Activated Charcoal Bristles, Direct ION Technology, Oval Design, Thermaglide Ceramic Coating) HTDR5586UKE

Up front, I am a novice with styling tools. I blast my hair dry with a dryer and no brush as I have reduced mobility in my hands/arms, and struggle to use both together. I have used straighteners in the past, but only when the occasion demands it, and I usually need assistance to use them well/evenly all round my head.But I have really enjoyed using this product. I towel dry/roughly hairdryer my hair to almost dry, then use this as a finishing tool. It gives me a professionally blow dried appearance with so little effort, leaving hair smooth and glossy, and because it is a thick-handle appliance, I can manage it with my hands comfortably.The head detaches with a simple lock mechanism, but is so secure I didn't appreciate this feature existed until my daughter showed me it.My only slight frustration is it is of a size where I have to choose between packing this or another dress in my holiday case. Not really, this will take the space every time now!Excellent value for money!

I got this so that I didn't have to use a regular dryer and straightner. I like that it's lightweight so I don't have to keep putting it down to rest my arm, and really powerful so it dries my fine, long hair very quickly, and it leaves it smooth and straight so there's no need to use straightners. Note that the barrel is HUGE, and that it doesn't turn - both those things work for me, but I know some people prefer a smaller barrel and want it to turn (I don't, I always end up in a mess with a turning barrel). The only thing I'd change about it is that the switch is around the bottom of the handle so I have to use two hands to turn it on and off - I'd prefer the switch to be a regular type that you can do with one hand. But I like it, am happy with it, and would recommend it.

Right ...firstly I am 60 something and I have arthritis - my old air styler only lasted 6 months from another company - I missed the oval brush dryer so much needed a replacement without huge budget - I can't use tools and dryers all at same time - single handed lady - I am not a stylist or hairdresser just Joe public - for one it's much heavier- but easier to grip strangely - but it's powerful en toough to dry thick old grey hair - 3rd of mine in the photo is piled on my head in a clip. Leaving my hair to air dry for 20 odd mins and scoup it up in one clip - hot tools wizzed through my thick hair with no problem ....other than the oval barrel is not designed for shorter lengths - what hair I could get in ..or on to the barrel it did with ease and did not burn my scalp or rip out hair from the roots. The detached oval means it is easy to store in the bag I had bought for the Dyson dupe...so no loss on that item! My manky hands managed a somewhat good job and I would think longer hair would find it a breeze ! I hope it lasts more than 6 months - it came beautifully boxed and can only fault the size and weight. Night if weight lifting and beauty may be a new thing ...it's only that I am meager in the upper arm region I give it 4...but it's worthy of 4.5 and 5 stars if it's lasting a year or more :)

I have naturally wavy hair and a lot of it! It normally takes me around 50 minutes to dry my hair with a hairdryer and round brush, my hair is shoulder length. It then takes me around another 20 minutes to smooth over with my straightener.I decided to give this a try as in my opinion, it is cheap when compared to my hairdryer (£90) and even the round brush that I use (£15).I used this for the first time today and I am seriously impressed with the ease of use (check out some how to videos online), the weight and the speed of styling is so good! I dried and styled all of my hair in 30 minutes!!!I did go over my roots with my hair straightener which took around 10 minutes but only to smooth out some frizz which I also get with my hairdryer and round brush. In total I have managed to cut back my hairstyling time by at least 30 minutes which is incredible for me :)I’m really happy with my purchase and found the grip on the brush to be amazing! I could reach the back of my head too! I was also surprised that I only used the first heat setting, I normally use the highest on my hairdryer. Two hours later and I’m still pleasantly surprised!If you have thick wavy/curly hair I would suggest styling in smaller sections for a better result, especially around the crown which is where I tend to get some frizz.Seriously for the price, I personally don’t think I could have found something this good that actually works for me!

This product is brilliant it allows you to blow-dry and style your hair with one item. No need to dry and manage a brush and hairdryer. My hair feels really soft and shiny after use.

I leave my hair to air for an hour then use the hot tool . My hair comes out lovely .,smooth & it lasts for a few days . Easy to use . Not heavy to use . It does not get caught in my hair .

I have the Hot Tools 24K 110V model and love it a lot. Hair is always perfect and smoother than the Revlon One-Step. The heat seems less intense than the Revlon, but I have fine hair so that suits my needs. I bought this one for UK/EU travel and actually don't know if it works yet, but will find out on my trip abroad in the fall; crossing fingers. Shipping was faster than predicted. Price was fine, and really like the detachable head for packing/storing convenience, the head/brush size, as well as the detachable adapter piece for EU plug. Recommend it. A+

Interesting product. Head is removable. A bit loud. The cold mode is warm. It does not reach the head root. It is practical. The effect wont last long but it helps to avoid saloons.
