In the months I've been testing blowout brushes, one model in particular has been on my must-try list after seeing it touted online over and over: the BondiBoost Blowout Brush. BondiBoost makes a few different hair tools, including an aloe-infused hair straightener and the viral Infrared Bounce Brush ($98) which is designed for dry hair (more on that below), but I was itching to get my hairs on BondiBoost's blow-out brush to see how it compared to the likes of Revlon, Drybar, and T3.

While the BondiBoost Blowout Brush has one of the lower price points, retailing for $70, it gave me shockingly similar results to the more expensive Drybar Double Shot ($155). The BondiBoost left my hair with a nice amount of volume at the roots, plus some smooth, slightly curled ends evocative of a professional blowout. It's been an impressive experience, especially for a brush that's still on the affordable end of the scale.

It felt too good to be true—and it was. While the BondiBoost Blowout Brush works well, the problem is that it might not always keep working. An alarming number of online reviewers on both Amazon and BondiBoost's own website have reported it breaking down after just a few months. BondiBoost's PR team didn't comment on why this could be happening, but confirmed they do have a 30-day warranty—much less than other competitors, and outside the window in which these complaints saw breakage.
