Questions and answers

How is a thermal brush different from a hot air brush?

A thermal brush heats the barrel itself, so hair is shaped by contact with the hot surface. A hot air brush blows heated air through vents while the brush shapes. The Dryhsip relies on barrel heat, so it gives more direct hold but less airflow.

Is the ceramic barrel better for my hair?

Ceramic heats more evenly than bare metal, which helps avoid hot spots that can over-dry one section. It does not make the brush damage-free, so keep it moving and use a heat protectant.

Can I use it on wet hair?

It works best on towel-dried hair that is still slightly damp, since the heat sets the shape as moisture leaves. Soaking wet hair takes longer and exposes it to heat for longer.

Will it work on short or very thick hair?

It suits medium to long hair best, where the round barrel can grip and bend the ends. Very short hair has little to wrap around the barrel, and very thick hair may need sectioning and extra passes.

Do I need clips or a glove?

Sectioning clips help you work in layers for even results. The barrel gets hot, so keep fingers on the handle and avoid touching the coated surface.
