Frequently Asked Questions: Helen of Troy Styling Tools
Which Helen of Troy brush is best for my hair length?
Choosing the right barrel size is key to your styling results:
-
1/2" and 3/4" Barrels: Best for short hair, pixie cuts, and styling bangs/fringe.
-
1" Barrel: The versatile choice for medium-length hair and defined curls.
-
1.5" Barrel: Our most popular size for long hair, providing maximum volume and soft, bouncy waves.
Can I use the Helen of Troy Hot Air Brush on wet hair?
For the healthiest results, we recommend using your hot air brush on towel-dried hair (about 80% dry). This allows the tool to shape and polish your hair while finishing the drying process, giving you that signature "salon blowout" look without excessive heat exposure.
What is the difference between a Hot Air Brush and a Brush Iron?
-
Hot Air Brush: Vented barrels that blow warm air. It dries and styles at the same time.
-
Brush Iron: A heated thermal barrel (no air) with bristles. It is used on dry hair to create curls, flips, and smoothness with the tension of a round brush.
How do I prevent my hair from tangling in the bristles?
Helen of Troy tools feature tangle-free bristles. To ensure a smooth glide, work in small sections (1–2 inches wide) and ensure your hair is detangled with a wide-tooth comb before styling. For extra volume, hold the brush at the root for a few seconds before gliding to the ends.
