We compared two 2-in-1 hot air styling brushes: the Revlon One-Step hair dryer and Volumiser and the Remington Blow Dry & Style Air Styler AS7100.
What we looked at
Stated technology, attachments included, hair length suitability, guarantee, and price.
The verdict
If you want ionic and ceramic technology, a listing claiming 22% more shine and 36% less breakage than a leading brush and dryer, and a 4-year guarantee, the Revlon One-Step is the fuller-featured pick for mid to long hair, at £31.99. If you would rather pay £17.00 less for a 400W styler with two brush attachments (19mm and 25mm) aimed at shorter hair, the Remington AS7100 is the value option, at £14.99.
A £31.99 ionic-and-ceramic styling brush with a 4-year guarantee, best for mid to long hair.
A £14.99 styler with two brush attachments, aimed at shorter hair.
