One hand instead of two · review
A rotating hot air brush with two round brush heads at 40 and 50 mm (1.97 in) plus a root booster for volume, on a ceramic coating Remington states is enriched with keratin and almond oil. Hair clips are included.
Where it leaves us Two barrels and a root booster, where most brushes on this shelf ship one.
A thousand watts, automatic rotation, and three attachments: a 40 mm (1.57 in) round brush with soft thermal bristles, a 50 mm (1.97 in) with mixed bristles, and a root booster for volume at the base.
The two diameters are the reason this is the entry pick rather than a compromise. Barrel size is the specification that decides what a hot air brush can do — volume at the root or curl at the tip — and most brushes on this shelf ship one and leave you with the other job undone.
Remington states the ceramic coating is enriched with keratin and almond oil; that is a manufacturer claim about the surface, reported as published. What the listing does not give is the number of heat settings, so that field is empty here.
One operating note worth reading, and it comes from Remington itself: the heads only start turning once the temperature has been set.
Where this brush sits on a shelf of ten is a matter of heads rather than watts. Two barrels plus a root booster, against four heads across three diameters on the BaByliss, two barrels on the Rowenta, and a single barrel on each of the American brushes apart from the $140 eight-piece TQCIR. A thousand watts matches the Rowenta exactly and sits below the BaByliss’s twelve hundred. The two blanks are the heat-setting count, which this listing omits, and the price: six of the ten brushes here publish one, from $27 to $140, and this is not among them. The Rowenta CF9540, BaByliss AS122E and Revlon RVDR5222 are on the same hot air brushes shelf, and getting volume at the roots compares the brush with a dryer and a round brush.

The published rule is geometric rather than a matter of taste: a larger barrel puts volume at the root and cannot complete a turn on short hair; a smaller one shapes the ends. This model supplies 40 mm (1.57 in) and 50 mm (1.97 in) so both are available. Remington gives the diameters in millimeters, which is the figure to match against your own hair length.
Remington states in its own listing that the heads begin rotating only once the temperature has been set. It is worth knowing before deciding a new brush is faulty.
