Thanks to celebs like Sabrina Carpenter, voluminous blowouts are all the rage right now. While plenty of salons offer blowouts, they can get pricey — especially if you’re going multiple times a week. And if you’re like me, achieving this look by yourself can be a bit tricky. For one thing, you have to juggle both a blow dryer and a round brush, which takes a certain amount of coordination I don’t seem to possess. Additionally, blow dryers can get very noisy, and if you live with roommates (or in a thin-walled apartment), you may have to get creative with the timing of your styling sesh.
Enter the Wavytalk Thermal Brush, which helps you achieve the blowout of your dreams without using an actual blow dryer. I bought this tool during one of my recent bimonthly “just got paid” online shopping sprees. I had previously purchased the hair straightening brush from the same brand, and I loved it so much that I decided to give the thermal brush a whirl. Here’s my honest review of this affordable heat styling tool.
This tool is essentially a round brush and a curling iron in one. It consists of a heated tourmaline ceramic barrel surrounded by plastic bristles, and it’s all attached to a corded handle with two buttons and an LED display. There are five temperature settings — 300°F, 330°F, 360°F, 390°F and 420°F — which correspond with different hair types. (My hair is very thick and naturally curly, so I use 390°F.) And thanks to the negative ion technology, this tool helps reduce frizz and add shine to your hair.
As with many heat styling tools, there’s a technique to the Wavytalk Thermal Brush. First, your hair has to be 100% dry to use it. It’s also imperative that your hair is completely detangled; otherwise, it’ll get caught in the bristles (which is kind of a nightmare — trust me).
I find it easiest to work in 2- to 3-inch sections when styling my hair, and the Wavytalk actually comes with two complimentary sectioning clips to assist with this. For each section, you’ll wrap the hair over the barrel at the root to create some tension, then slowly pull the tool down the length of the hair. When you reach the ends, you can twist the barrel a few times to create a more exaggerated, flippy curl. (Beauty influencer and Wavytalk ambassador Danielle Athena has a brief tutorial on using this tool, which you can find here .)
The only minor gripe I have with the Wavytalk Thermal Brush is the design of the handle. The power button is positioned in such a way that it’s easy to accidentally turn off the tool while you’re in the middle of styling. It’s not a huge deal for me, but it’s something to keep in mind when using it.
Overall, I love this tool, and plenty of Amazon reviewers agree with me. One five-star reviewer lauded the Wavytalk as a “must-have product,” and another reviewer was thoroughly impressed by how quickly and effectively it styled their hair. “This thing is amazing. I can’t believe how well it works,” said the reviewer . “Believe the hype!”
Although there is a slight learning curve to master the Wavytalk Thermal Brush, the results are very much worth it. I use it at least once a week, and I’ve gotten numerous compliments on how shiny and healthy my hair looks. So, if you’re ready to level-up your at-home blowouts, you can grab this tool for under $50 on Amazon right now. Happy styling!
