I’ll faux that I’m resistant to the affect of TikTok, however the Wavytalk Thermal Brush has simply confirmed that I’m undoubtedly not. After months of scrolling previous rave evaluation after rave evaluation, I caved and spent $46 on it regardless of being a magnificence editor with a closet stuffed with luxurious hair instruments I normally obtain freed from cost. I don’t prefer to admit it, however TikTok was proper about this one.
This heated spherical hairbrush is the star of, I child you not, tens of 1000’s of movies highlighting its potential to ship a near-effortless, high-volume blowout on hair varieties starting from thick and kinky to nice and straight. As its inexpensive worth suggests, it’s a quite simple instrument: a heated spherical hairbrush with a one-and-a-half-inch barrel and two warmth settings (350 and 410 levels Fahrenheit). It doesn’t tout any hi-tech options. It doesn’t blow air to dry the hair, though it seems to be prefer it ought to. Hell, the mannequin I’ve doesn’t even flip itself off after a sure time-frame (a sizzling instrument function I’ve by no means risked going with out as a result of I’m a forgetful girlie). However don’t let that forestall you from experiencing its near-unbelievable effectivity.
I don’t know what secret magic the Wavytalk Thermal Brush accommodates, however it’s given me probably the most voluminous hair I’ve ever had. For context: I’ve very nice hair that’s additionally very flat on the high. Recently, I’ve been styling my hair completely in wavy blowouts with a spherical hairbrush and blow-dryer, a method that offers me a number of texture and quantity however usually falls flat fairly shortly, even when I flip my head upside-down after and douse my hair with texture and holding sprays.
However the first time I used the Wavytalk brush, it delivered related outcomes however in half the time—and, magically, my outcomes held up by a whole night time out in New York Metropolis with fewer styling merchandise (only a texture spray and a few pomade for flyaways) than I’ve beforehand been utilizing. Most individuals use this brush to straighten their hair and provides it slightly bump inward or outward on the ends, like a basic ‘90s blowout, however I take a barely totally different strategy, utilizing an outward twisting movement to realize waves like I usually would whereas drying my hair with a spherical hairbrush. I additionally brush upward a bit on the roots to accommodate for my hair’s lack of God-given vertical. And since this brush appears catered to hair that’s a lot thicker and longer than mine, I’ve to work in actually massive sections as a result of if I don’t, my hair will slip proper off the comb. Which will sound like an annoyance, however it means I can model my complete head in lower than 10 minutes.
