Thermal brushes are the hottest buy for summer 2024 and everyone is coveting them because they can easily transform your hair from air-dried to straight or '90s bouncy waves.
According to trendspotters, searches for the brush have skyrocketed by 436% in the last year, and there's one version that everyone's after.
Compared to other products, it's easier on your wallet, gentler on your hair, and reduces breakage caused by excessive heat.

When it comes to heat brushes, more than most other tools, you want to be sure that the brush you buy for your hair won't burn your hair with excessive heat, so choose one with temperature control that doesn't get too hot, especially if you have fine hair.
With a tool like the Dyson Airwrap, you don't have to worry about overheating, as it checks the temperature multiple times every second. But what about other products on the market, like Shark, Revlon, and Conair? How do cheaper brands fare on the heat front?
Thermal Control
Some thermal brushes can go up to 230 degrees, but this is the maximum temperature the brush can reach. This type of heat is only suitable for thick, very coarse, or curly hair, and as your hair weight or type decreases, your heat exposure should decrease accordingly.
For example, if you have wavy, medium or fine hair and want to smooth it out or make it bouncy with '90s-style curls, and want to prevent breakage and frizz, you'll need a temperature of about 120 to 150 degrees. That's why you should look for a thermal brush with a wide temperature range. And there's one product that keeps coming up again and again that everyone seems to be looking for: the scrub brush.

On social media, everyone's talking about the BondiBoost Infrared Bounce Brush, a brush that revives second-day-after-wash hair and can smooth or curl it. Use only on dry hair, the brush's heat range is 120-230 degrees but keep it as low as possible for fine hair, and be sure to use a heat-resistant spray before heat styling.
This brush has aloe-infused bristles to moisturize hair and negative ions that flatten hair cuticles to keep them smooth and shiny. Once selected, the brush automatically locks to keep the temperature consistent. This Aussie brush has just launched on LookFantastic.ie and comes with free delivery. As a heated brush, it's sure to sell out in summer 2024.
