Is this av half-round brush suitable for blow drying hair?

I prefer a fully round one. This one combs very nicely through your hair though and I would recommend it for thick hair. I have not used it for blow drying.

Not unless you have a European adapter. Plus, the brush does not stay on. I had to super glue it to stay on the blow dryer.

Hi, LeAnn:Though I do like this blowdryer, I like the Babyliss Pro BABP2800 even more. I use the 2800 as a rule now because not only does it do a better job drying my hair without actually drying it out, but it also makes it look like I spent time styling it. Usually, I just brush my hair a little while I'm drying it and occasionally run my fingers through it to aim the air where it needs to go. I have gotten some nice compliments on my hair since using the BABP2800. I think if volume is what you're after, then that will be the blowdryer for you. Hope this helps! :)

I have fine hair too. I'm not very good with the brush but the curling iron attachment worked well and the hair dryer attachment is great because the blower isn't too strong and it doesn't blow my hair flat like other hair dryers do. The issue I had with the curling iron attachment is that the cord doesn't spin very well and the cord wore out. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of options for things that work well with short, fine hair.

I think that it would work fine, this isn't the most powerful dryer and the airflow is differant than a regular blowdryer.

It would be fine for any kind of straight hair I would think. Or if you want to straighten curly hair. It just doesn't work with a diffuser.

I believe it is. I love it and at least 6 of my friends have it and love it- great for thick hair - drys quickly.

Yes, I have quite thick hair and it's fine. The bristles are various lengths and don't bend easily.

Yes absolutely! Be sure and get the proper brush-head, because there are two different kinds I believe.

It depends on te Brush you use! I love it! Forget about the frizze! Half of the time you used to dry your hair

Yes, it does. I have a variety of brush brands & they're fine in the Dry & Shape.

I am a hairstylist and if I were you I would not but the straight boar bristle brush but buy the Mason Pearson that had half plastic bristles and half boar. I use that one on my clients with fine hair and you get the same beautiful shiny effect of the Mason Pearson without ripping and tearing the hair. Straight boar is too aggressive. Hope that helps!

Yes! My hair is super long and wavy too. I straighten it as best I can. This brush is the right one for you.

I don't think so. There is no dryer component to it. However, straighten my hair after blow drying it and this styler takes the frizz out.

It's hard to say because I have thickish hair that has natural volume so for me it kind of helped tame it. I feel like it's more about the brush you use. If you use a big round brush when blow drying you will be able to maintain volume and have shiny smooth hair as well.

I don't know about the afro hair. I have somewhat curly/frizzy hair, and I find the wood bristles are a lot lower friction than plastic brushes. I have both this and the oval one, and I have small hands, so I find the smaller one easier to use when blow drying, but I bring this one to my hair salon, and my colorist LOVES this brush. She uses it to dry my hair. I hope this helps you decide if you want it.

It is not a blow dryer. You need to use it on dry hair since the manufacturer says clearly not to use on wet hair. It is still a great styling tool.
