Our take on the Drybar The Half Shot Small Round Blow-Dryer Brush

The Half Shot is Drybar's small round hot air brush, built around a 1.5-inch barrel for shorter hair, layers and touch-ups. It combines a dryer and a round brush in one tool, with two speeds, three heat settings, a cool shot, ionic conditioning and a 9-foot swivel cord. It suits fine, shoulder-length or shorter hair and anyone who wants volume and a smooth finish without juggling a dryer and a brush. Against larger one-step volumizers, its smaller barrel gives more control at the roots and on short cuts, but it moves less air and takes longer on thick or long hair. Owners like the light, easy handling and the salon-style bend it gives; some find the bristles stiff and the airflow modest.

Questions and answers

Is the Half Shot good for long hair?
Not really. The 1.5-inch barrel and modest airflow suit short to shoulder-length hair; long or thick hair takes much longer and is better served by a larger brush.
How is it different from Drybar's full-size brushes?
It has a smaller barrel and less airflow than the full-size Single Shot and Double Shot. That gives more control at the roots and on short cuts, at the cost of speed on long hair.
Does it work on wet hair?
Yes. It is designed for damp, towel-dried hair; rough-dry excess water first so the brush can shape rather than just dry.
What settings does it have?
Two speeds and three heat settings, plus a cool shot to set the style. There is no separate concentrator or diffuser in the box.
Is it dual voltage for travel?
No. It runs on AC mains and is not a dual-voltage travel tool, so it needs a converter abroad.
