[Unpaid/Sample/Affiliate/Ad] I’m endeavoring not to swear, but after dealing with a bug last week, I’m currently down with Covid, which means I’ll only be doing one post per day until I feel up to doing more. Although I’m not feeling severely ill, given that this has followed another virus, I believe it’s important for me to be cautious. Today, I’m experiencing the charming sensation of sweating.

You might recall my review (HERE) of the Revlon One Step Dryer from a couple of years ago, which I still use fairly regularly. However, currently, I find myself leaning more towards the Dry Bar Double Shot Blow Dryer Brush. It feels lighter and more powerful to me, delivering the sort of salon finish that’s often elusive when styling at home. The main functionality lies in the pull-through action. The bristles latch onto the hair much like those of a stylist’s brush, with the strength to straighten out all the kinks, although I’ll never be as swift as my hairdresser. So, with the grip and heat combined, you typically only need to run it through your hair two or three times to get a particular section done. I would recommend sectioning into two or three parts – that’s half the solution because without sectioning, you won’t achieve that layered and smooth effect. This way, you dry your hair in layers rather than in a lump. It took me quite a while to learn the art of sectioning!

Although these pictures are not great due to Covid and a worn-out appearance, hopefully, you can see how I’ve sectioned the hair and the subsequent smooth look. Upon comparing the specs with the Revlon (currently available at TKMaxx for £39.99 [HERE]), it appears that they have different wattages, making the Drybar more powerful and faster in terms of drying. It’s lighter and slimmer (apart from the brush, which seems the same size to me) and, to be honest, much more visually appealing. I think the Drybar version is suitable for anyone seeking guaranteed sleek hair in minimal time, particularly those with medium to thick hair. It’s priced at £125 [HERE]. I remember feeling quite torn about my Dyson hair dryer, which was a sample, and questioning the idea of spending £329 [HERE] on something that performs a bit faster than others with similar functions. However, I’ve had it since 2016, it’s still going strong, and I would buy it again without hesitation, despite the initially high cost (although it was £299 back then and had fewer attachments). I even used it to dry my pet, Honey, and she didn’t seem to mind because it’s relatively quiet. I have a feeling I might look back and feel the same way about the Double Shot.
Apologies for another quiet week – I hope you don’t mind. This is the best time for a break, as even though I have some lovely things to share with you, they’re in shorter supply than usual due to the holiday season.
