1. The WEN blower brush styling tool has become my top choice for straightening my naturally curly hair. I even bring it along on my trips!


I've tested nearly every type of brush blow dryer available, and hands down, this one is my favorite. (Yes, I've even tried the Dyson Airwrap, but the WEN still wins, although the Dyson is excellent!) I've been using it for months after asking Chaz Dean directly about all its standout features that set it apart from other tools. Suffice to say, I’m impressed! Here are some features I haven’t found in many other brush dryer models: a cord that *actually* swivels; thick, abundant bristles that keep your hair away from the hot metal parts; a removable vent cover for cleaning out lint; a heat-resistant, anti-roll mat; a tool for removing lint and hair; and a very secure attachment-locking mechanism. (One dryer I tried recently had a weak locking mechanism that caused attachments to fall off mid-blow-dry... which can be dangerous!) On my recent travels, I packed the base and the smaller brush attachment, which was perfect for my hair needs!
Get it from WEN by Chaz Dean for $275 or QVC for $247.98.
