INFINITIPRO BY CONAIR Spin Air Rotating Styler/Hot Air Brush, 2-inch, Black

Great Product but not for hair that is extrememly thick, coarse or tight curls.
I stand by my orginal reveiw but please be sure to see my updated comments at the bottom!I will begin this review by mentioning that I am a licensed cosmetologist with over 25 years experience styling hair and an unabashed hair appliance junky. When I walk through a store that sells blow dryers, flat irons, hot rollers I always peruse them. I have at least a dozen flat irons, ten curling irons, 4 sets of hot rollers, hooded dryers both hard top and bonnet style. This does not include the dozens of things I’ve given away over the years or the things I’ve bought and didn’t like so I returned. The bottom line is there is not a type of hair appliance on the planet I haven’t tried and I have never been more impressed by the performance of a hair appliance than I am with this Infinitipro Spin Air Rotating Styler. I’ve used products similar to this many times but this is far superior to anything I’ve ever used. That ridiculous waste of money InStyler, which I returned, doesn’t do a thing. I colored my hair dark blond for many year and last year I got carried away making it lighter and lighter platinum until I finally fried it to the point of no return. So last January had no choice but to cut off my beautiful long thick wavy hair and what little hair was left was still extremely damaged. I brought my color back to the medium/dark brown I was born with but it was still damaged and so short I couldn’t do a thing with it. I began slicking it back in a French twist and wearing clip on hair pieces. This has worked well because my hair always looks good and it’s so easy to do, but I missed being able to style my own hair. Using a blow-dryer and flat iron was so much work and the results were always disappointing. When I saw a commercial for this and became curious. I was dubious that the large 2 inch barrel would not work well in my short hair, while my length is nearly to my shoulders because of the damage I had to layer my hair, so it is about five inches around. Also because of the layers my hair has become very curly and gets knotted and frizzy. Not very attractive! In a review I read a when I was thinking about buying this a woman complained about having to still dry her hair most of the way before using this. The fact is your hair should always be about 80% dry before you start to style it. When I’m blow drying a clients hair I use the blow-dryer to take out most of the moisture before I pick up a brush. For my own hair I usually let it air dry. So with my hair damp and I started using the Infinitipro first at the bottom and it easily starts to glide through my hair, no tangles or knotting, just effortlessly gliding. Plus even though the bristles are soft it is easily picking up my hair. I’m psyched but this is the longest part of my hair so I go to the top and that is when I discover you can easily switch directions, I never read the instructions, so now I’m getting really excited because it is light and easy to hold and I don’t have to twist my arms in to odd ways to hold he Infinitipro where I need it. Then the most amazing thing happened, as I’m holding it at the top of my Occipital bone the brush starts to pick up hair from below buts it isn’t knotting. It’s just gliding. If I hold my hand steady it doesn’t do this but so If I want to add fullness to one spot, but that gliding and picking up hair is great for smoothing. I was finished in about ten minutes and my hair looked amazing for the first time in a year. I used my flat iron just to make it a bit straighter, it took about three minutes because it was alreasy nice and smooth and it looked fantastic. I almost began to cry with joy that my hair actually looked good for the first time in a year!I went to cosmetology school in high school and in the twenty five years I have done this professionally I have used at least a hundred different hair appliances. I’ve tried every sold on TV gimmicky product, every type of professional product and every type of drug store product. This product is unique and exceptional so buy it with confidence. Make sure you dry your hair about 80% before using it and be AMAZED at the results!Product Update December 2, 2012:I still love this product and still give it 5 stars but a recent question Amazon asked me to answer about using this is African American hair made me want to update my review. I have moderately thick hair with a loose natural curl but the texture is not coarse. I don’t think this product will work well in hair that is coarse in texture, very thick or with extremely tight curl. The bristles are very soft and I find I need to take small sections and on the top I need to softly cup the brush so it will pick up my hair. They probably make the bristles so soft so they don’t tangle the hair but I think they could make them a bit firmer without that happening. I also think it would help if they made out a 1 ½ inch brush. For thicker coarse hair I recommend the Conair 2-in-1 Hot Air Brush which I also own and like a lot. I never had any use for the regular bristle brush but the 1 ½ inch brush with the plastic bristles works really well. IMPORTANT NOTE: There are several models of this brush make sure you get the one with at least 1000 watts of power or it won’t get hot enough to smooth your hair. It doesn’t spin on its own but it’s still easy to use if you work section by section and spin the appliance yourself. Take about a one inch section and starting at the scalp pull the brush down the section, then roll the section up let it heat up well, and then pull it down again. Repeat this on the section until you get the smooth result you’re looking for. This will give the hair some flip so if you’re looking for straight you’ll need to finish with a flat iron, but it will only take a quick pass or two. This is also true of your hair is very coarse, you may get better result and have them last longer with a quick pass of a flat iron. I still think it is a good product and does what it says it will do. Once again both of these items are styling products so you need to dry your hair about 80% before using it or it will not work well. Good Luck! One last suggestion, don’t waste your time or money on cheap flat irons, buy a Chi, Rusk, Bayless, anything that normally retails for at least $150, you can find them much cheaper on Amazon or even at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. Cheap flat irons don’t work nearly as well or as quickly.

When I first purchased this blow drier I was looking for a tool that could give me an edge, that could help me not work so hard to get a salon simulated blow out. When it arrived, it took a few tries to get used to it in my hand. My hair was shoulder/ collar bone length and when I used the drier it wasn’t giving me the bounce I had hoped for. I was beginning to think it was a waste of money. But a few weeks later I cut my hair to The middle of my neck and re-tried using this drier.Now at this length I can say — IT IS THE BEST TOOL EVER! I love this drier. Combined with some volumizing mousse my hair has crazy amounts of volume. It looks like a professional blow out.Things to note:🔹I have medium fine hair – but a lot of it.🔹My hair hasn’t been coloured🔹And as mentioned it sits at the base of my neck✅ Is it worth the money 💲 – YES✅ Would I order another one 💯 per cent.Hope this helps.💋

I used the brush only once, but I got the expected results. It was easy and I finished the job in a short period; I do have long hair and usually it take me a long time to style it. I still need to get used how to properly use the rotating setting, but overal, I am happy with my purchase.

I love the way it smooths my hair and the way it places them, they stay that way for the whole day. I have thick hair and so I haven’t figured out yet how to get more volume, and that is one thing I would love to have. It’s easy to use but you have to be a bit careful. The first time I used it, I managed to get a huge knot in my hair but with I fine comb I got it out. Now I’m more careful and I still love it. Totally worth the money.
