In a few months I’ve been testing blowout brushes, especially a model in which I have to see it on my list of must-try touts online: BondiBoost blowout brushes. Bondiboost produces a few different hairstyle tools, including aloe-infused deresided hair and a virus infrared bouncing brush ($98), which is designed for dry hair (more below), but I’m eager to pick up my hair on Bondiboost’s blow-on brush to see how it looks like compared to Luwright, drybar and T3.
While the Bondiboost Blowbrush has one of the lower prices and retails for $70, it’s shockingly similar to the more expensive Drybar two-man ($155). Bondiboost leaves a large volume at the roots, and some sleek, slightly curly ends that are evocative. It was an impressive experience, especially for brushes that are still on an affordable scale.
It’s so good that it can’t be achieved. While the Bondboster blowout works great, the problem is that it may not always continue to work. The number of online reviewers on Amazon and Bondboster’s own websites is shocking, and it has collapsed in just a few months. The PR team at Bondiboost did not comment on why this happened, but confirmed they do have a 30-day warranty – less than other competitors, seeing broken windows in these complaints.
It makes buying this brush a gamble and asks the question: would you rather risk buying this brush multiple times or invest in a more expensive brush from the start?

Bondiboost blowout brushes have fairly standard features. It has a 75mm oval version ($70) and a 51mm round brush ($70). I tested the oval version, although the smaller version has a removable head, so you can use the brush as a targeted hair dryer before styling your hair with the brush attachment, probably because the brush is much smaller.
The Bondiboost blowout brush has a good temperature range from 93 degrees Fahrenheit in the cool setting to 165 degrees and 194 degrees in the two heat settings. These are significantly lower than some competition – Revlon’s one-step plus (7/10, wired recommendation) is up to 240 degrees, while the T3 Airebrush’s low heat setting is 170 degrees, but up to 213 degrees.
My hair is good, so the lower calories attract me because my hair doesn’t need higher calories to tame it. My hair can also bend and curl alone, so I tend to touch lower heat and air levels to tame the frizz. People with rough and thick hair may prefer brushes with higher calorie levels, such as T3 or Revlon.
Results and investment

I would say again and again: I am very satisfied with Bondboster’s blow-brushed hair. It made my entire hair very well, didn’t make my end look unfinished, and it wasn’t so hot that I had to worry about my hair blowing up.
