Product description
The essentials
If you want a quicker way to add shape and some volume without getting a separate round brush, this TRESemmé Volume Smooth and Shape Hot Air Styler is aimed at exactly that: everyday blow-dry styling, with interchangeable brush heads for different effects. It’s a hot air styler, so you’re essentially combining airflow and heat in one tool to help smooth and style as you go.
On paper, the big selling point is the flexibility. You get two interchangeable brush heads, two heat settings, plus a cool setting for finishing. That combination matters because hair doesn’t all behave the same way—especially if you switch between using a wider thermal brush for lift and a softer bristle brush for a more controlled feel.
That said, it’s worth tempering expectations. A hot air styler like this is best for fast, repeatable styling rather than serious salon-level precision. If you’re after very specific curling or ultra-defined results, you may find yourself wanting something more specialised or a separate tool.
What you’ll notice in use
A typical “quick tidy” session looks like this: section your hair, start near the roots, then pull through slowly with the brush head you’ve chosen. If you’re aiming for lift, the thermal 38mm brush head is the one you’d lean on. For a different feel—especially when you’re trying to keep things smoother or more controlled—the 20mm soft bristle brush head can be the better match.
The cool setting is also genuinely useful. In many routines, you don’t just want heat—you want a moment of cooling at the end to help set the shape. It won’t magically override hair type, but it can make the difference between “it looked good for five minutes” and “it holds up better through the day”.
Key features and where they fit
- Interchangeable brush heads (2): lets you switch between a larger thermal brush for volume-focused styling and a smaller soft bristle brush for a different finish.
- Two heat settings: handy if you want more control depending on how thick, fine, or heat-sensitive your hair is.
- Cool setting: useful for finishing and setting.
- Brush sizing called out clearly: 38mm thermal brush and 20mm soft bristle brush are both specified, so you can choose based on the style you’re trying to create.
Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you’re the kind of person who styles most days and wants one tool that covers a couple of common looks. If your routine is usually a brush plus dryer, this is the sort of device that can simplify things and keep your workflow consistent.
It might not be a great match if you prefer tools that focus on one job only (for example, creating very tight curls or very flat blow-dry finishes with total control). Also, if your hair needs a lot of heat management, you’ll want to be cautious with technique and heat choice—this model offers two settings, but not more granular control.

Care & practical tips
Hot air stylers tend to be at their best when you keep them clean and use consistent technique. After a session, let the tool cool down fully before handling it, and remove any loose hair from the brush heads so airflow isn’t affected. Also, start with the lower heat setting if you’re unsure how your hair reacts—two settings is helpful, but it still depends quite a lot on hair thickness and dryness.
You’ll get better results if your passes are steady rather than rushed. If you go too quickly, the styling effect can feel inconsistent, slow down slightly and pull through with even tension.
Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you want an everyday hot air styling tool with two interchangeable brush heads (38mm for volume lift and 20mm soft bristles for a different finish), plus two heat settings and a cool shot for ending your style.
You may want to skip it if you’re expecting highly specialised results from a multi-purpose styler, or if you need more precise heat control than two settings offer. It’s not the most “advanced” approach compared with more dedicated styling tools, but for many UK routines it’s a practical compromise: fewer steps, repeatable shaping, and brush head options that cover more than one look.
If you prioritise quick volume and smoother everyday styling without building a full tool kit, this is the kind of device that can earn its place on the counter.
Mini FAQ
Will the cool setting help with hold?
The cool setting is designed to finish and set your style. It won’t guarantee the same hold for every hair type, but it can help reduce that “falls flat quickly” problem.
What’s the difference between the 38mm and 20mm brush heads?
The 38mm thermal brush is positioned for volume-focused styling, while the 20mm soft bristle brush is for a more controlled finish with a different brush feel.
Is it suitable for all hair types?
It’s intended for general styling use with two heat settings. Your results will depend on hair thickness and how your hair responds to heat, so it’s wise to start with a lower setting if you’re not sure.
How many brush heads are included?
