This brush is a pioneer among such devices, and every second girl in our vast country dreams about it. This most popular toilet brush has all possible care and convenience. The quality of materials is amazing: an unusually pleasant to the touch Thermoplastic, ceramic coating and 100% natural bristles nozzles, feminine design, the longest cord among tested models – 208 cm. The nozzles fit gently and immediately correctly, although there are no identifying marks to identify the position of the nozzle.

Simply press the button on the side of the hair dryer. The bristles on both heads are soft and firm. It combs my hair well, gives it shine and smoothness, without damaging the cuticle. Because of their soft bristles, the bristles need to be stored carefully in their original plastic containers.

If you store the hair dryer directly with the nozzle on a horizontal surface, the bristles will quickly fluff up and fail. The ionizer is activated at the same time as the hair dryer, and gives your hair extra care during styling: negatively charged ions release static.

NOZZLE ROTATION

The nozzles rotate in both directions at 2 adjustable speeds, low and high. For those who are used to this device, we can recommend the second speed, it is also suitable for thick and long hair.

Not very convenient that the gear switch is on the bottom of the body: you can not change the speed directly during styling. It also prevents you from getting tangled in the buttons and switches, of which there are several.

TEMPERATURE MODES AND BLOWING SPEED

The switch is the first to activate the cold actually warm air mode at maximum blowing speed. This mode is suitable for gentle drying and styling, but does not correspond to the snowflake that it is labeled. Next comes mode 2 – hot air at the same blowing speed.

The last switch position is mode 1 – moderate hot air at medium speed. Note that mode 2 is quite hot, but really effective for almost professional styling, and the long 15 mm bristles allow you to keep the nozzles a short distance from the scalp, even when creating volume at the roots of the hair.

Comparison – devices “twins”: ROWENTA Brush Activ 1000 and Philips HP 8665 Dynamic Volumebrush

Spot the 10 differences!

Rowenta Brush Activ 1000 – the first brush with rotating nozzles, all others – including a very high-quality model from Philips – repetition. Although hair dryers differ in each of their original design, yet the basic technical parameters are very similar. They have the same power, the way the nozzles are attached, the nozzles themselves are almost identical, the speed of the nozzles is adjustable, both nozzles rotate in both directions..

The same disadvantage – the air intake grille is not removable, so you have to monitor its cleanliness to avoid rapid failure of the motor: it can overheat from falling dirt. And yet – the differences:

1. The Rowenta Brush Activ 1000 has a 30 cm longer cable, which is comfortable – and gives you more styling freedom.

2. The Rowenta Brush Activ 1000 speed selector is not located ‘under your finger’ – less convenient, but safer: you can’t accidentally increase the speed.

3. The Philips HP 8665’s directional rotation keys are larger and have a non-slip surface.

4. The Philips HP 8665 does not have the Cool Air mode, as Rowenta Brush Activ 1000 has, but it has the CARE mode, which is fairer! In fact, it’s the same thing – quite warm air. The Rowenta Brush Activ 1000 activates the first of the three modes when you switch modes, and the Philips HP 8665 activates the last. As convenient? – Very individual.
