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 assessment after rave assessment, I caved and spent $46 on it regardless of being a magnificence editor with a closet filled with luxurious hair instruments I often obtain freed from cost. I don’t prefer to admit it, however TikTok was proper about this one.
This heated round hairbrush is the star of, I child you not, tens of thousands of videos highlighting its capacity to ship a near-effortless, high-volume blowout on hair sorts starting from thick and kinky to positive and straight. As its inexpensive value suggests, it’s a quite simple device: 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, regardless that it appears to be like prefer it ought to. Hell, the mannequin I’ve doesn’t even flip itself off after a sure timeframe (a sizzling device function I’ve by no means risked going with out as a result of I’m a forgetful girlie). However don’t let that stop you from experiencing its near-unbelievable effectivity.
I don’t know what secret magic the WavyTalk Thermal Brush comprises, however it’s given me essentially the most voluminous hair I’ve ever had. For context: I’ve very positive hair that’s additionally very flat on the prime. Recently, I’ve been styling my hair solely in wavy blowouts with a spherical hairbrush and blow-dryer, a way that offers me numerous 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 comparable outcomes however in half the time—and, magically, my outcomes held up via 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 a little bit 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 large 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 fashion my entire head in lower than 10 minutes.
