How is the 2.0 different from the original amika brush?

amika says the 2.0 has upgraded internal components and mechanisms and was tested for longevity. The styling format, oval barrel and bristle mix carry over.

What hair types is it for?

amika rates it for all hair types, from curly to color-treated. The three heat settings let you drop to 115°F for delicate or fine hair.

It has three heat and speed settings at 115°F, 190°F and 230°F. The top setting is cooler than many hot-air brushes, which suits fine and damaged hair but slows drying on thick hair.

Does it work on wet hair?

It is a blow-dryer brush, so it is meant for damp hair. Towel-dry first and detangle, since the bristles can catch on knots.

The box contains the Hair Blow Dryer Brush 2.0 with its attached 9 ft, 360° swivel cord. No separate attachments are listed.

Can I use it on short hair?

The oval barrel is sized for shoulder-length and longer hair. On very short hair it is harder to grip the ends and build shape.

About the amika Hair Blow Dryer Brush 2.0

The amika Hair Blow Dryer Brush 2.0 combines a round brush and a blow dryer in one tool. This upgraded version has enhanced internal components and mechanisms and was tested for longevity. It is suitable for all hair types, from curly to color-treated.

The large oval barrel adds volume at the roots and smooths along the length of the hair. It has a tourmaline coating that generates negative ions and infrared heat to smooth hair and minimize frizz. Long nylon ball tip bristles detangle and smooth, and short bristles add bounce, shine and polish.

Three heat and speed settings let you adjust the blowout. Turn the brush on by rotating the temperature control dial clockwise to the setting you want. The 9 ft cord has a 360° swivel for easy handling.
