INFINITIPRO BY CONAIR Spin Air Rotating Styler/Hot Air Brush, 2-inch, Black

I had the non rotating version of this (from another brand) in my shopping cart for a long time but just never quite clicked that CHECK OUT button - it just felt too gimmicky. But recently, having had it with my blah flat straight hair to the point where I was contemplating hara-kiri of the hairy-kind SPIRAL PERM(!), I decided to finally try this as a last ditch attempt. Known for OCD like last minute re-checking of other reviews right before buying a heavily researched item, I upped the ante with the switcheroo to add 'self rotating' to the blow dry brush gimmick. Going for broke here, what's the worse thing that could happen right? (Conjures 'Exorcist'-like head spinning image from the powerful rotating action) My first impression of said product was that is was too big, like an instrument of torture, like it can't be held with one hand comfortably (I say 'like' a lot)...and that it reminded me of ...ehem. Aanyhoo, upon first examination I felt dubious that its rotating bristles won't rip apart every single hair follicle that I am (at this stage in life) desperately trying to save like some endangered specie. Then to add to my chagrin, the first time I turned it on and pressed rotate button - it did not. Thankfully, reading the instructions (duh) revealed that the cool setting disabled the rotate feature. I was intrigued why so, but I guess it didn't feel the need to divulge the catastrophic repercussions of allowing rotate while in cool mode. Sure enough, changing setting to the warm activated the rotating brush. Whew! I know at this point you're wondering, 'when will she tell us if the product actually works or not?!' Patience, this is definitely a product that you don't want to use on your hair the first time you turn it on. You have to keep it a safe distance from your or another person's hair (... or a hairy pet/person) the first time you experiment with its various settings since you don't know if the heat will be comfortable for you and that you can control the rotation first. Its common sense really, but they don't have these 'Too Dumb to live Darwin Awards' for nothing. Long story short - IT WORKS end of review... Haha, I kid! Long story long, once I mastered the gumption to actually use said product on my hair (90% dry), the bristle that I though should've had those ball tips thingy actually didn't irritate my scalp at all - it was very soft. My first use actually yielded the result I wanted - which was noticeable body and shine, and it was easy to style my hair Jennifer Aniston-ish (without the ex-hubby baggage/angst weighing it down). It takes getting used to picking the right rotation direction when using on the back of your head (like trying to write on glass window so person on the other side can read it correctly - its just annoying that it just doesn't read your mind and know which way to rotate, you actually have to think a little in the beginning) It does pull the hair a little (and sometimes I tend to press it harder when I want it to stop instead of releasing - but that may just be a user lack-of-coordination defect.) It doesn't tangle your hair but just remember to not panic when it start getting tight which means you have to release the rotate button ( and not do like I do >_<). I also find it helpful to put my other hand on top of my hair as it's being rotated kind of like as a guide, it may just be a psychological thing on my part ...and definitely use the cool setting to finish for that shiny salon blow dried look. For my hair type for sure I can say it will replace my hair straightener, it'd something I can use everyday provided I allocate ample time for hair prep. Like another reviewer said, it doesn't shorten the prep time much, just makes it easier to get that salon blow dried look with less products and tools.

I stand by my orginal reveiw but please be sure to see my updated comments at the bottom! I will begin this review by mentioning that I am a licensed cosmetologist with over 25 years experience styling hair and an unabashed hair appliance junky. When I walk through a store that sells blow dryers, flat irons, hot rollers I always peruse them. I have at least a dozen flat irons, ten curling irons, 4 sets of hot rollers, hooded dryers both hard top and bonnet style. This does not include the dozens of things I've given away over the years or the things I've bought and didn't like so I returned. The bottom line is there is not a type of hair appliance on the planet I haven't tried and I have never been more impressed by the performance of a hair appliance than I am with this Infinitipro Spin Air Rotating Styler. I've used products similar to this many times but this is far superior to anything I've ever used. That ridiculous waste of money InStyler, which I returned, doesn't do a thing. I colored my hair dark blond for many year and last year I got carried away making it lighter and lighter platinum until I finally fried it to the point of no return. So last January had no choice but to cut off my beautiful long thick wavy hair and what little hair was left was still extremely damaged. I brought my color back to the medium/dark brown I was born with but it was still damaged and so short I couldn't do a thing with it. I began slicking it back in a French twist and wearing clip on hair pieces. This has worked well because my hair always looks good and it's so easy to do, but I missed being able to style my own hair. Using a blow-dryer and flat iron was so much work and the results were always disappointing. When I saw a commercial for this and became curious. I was dubious that the large 2 inch barrel would not work well in my short hair, while my length is nearly to my shoulders because of the damage I had to layer my hair, so it is about five inches around. Also because of the layers my hair has become very curly and gets knotted and frizzy. Not very attractive! In a review I read a when I was thinking about buying this a woman complained about having to still dry her hair most of the way before using this. The fact is your hair should always be about 80% dry before you start to style it. When I'm blow drying a clients hair I use the blow-dryer to take out most of the moisture before I pick up a brush. For my own hair I usually let it air dry. So with my hair damp and I started using the Infinitipro first at the bottom and it easily starts to glide through my hair, no tangles or knotting, just effortlessly gliding. Plus even though the bristles are soft it is easily picking up my hair. I'm psyched but this is the longest part of my hair so I go to the top and that is when I discover you can easily switch directions, I never read the instructions, so now I'm getting really excited because it is light and easy to hold and I don't have to twist my arms in to odd ways to hold he Infinitipro where I need it. Then the most amazing thing happened, as I'm holding it at the top of my Occipital bone the brush starts to pick up hair from below buts it isn't knotting. It's just gliding. If I hold my hand steady it doesn't do this but so If I want to add fullness to one spot, but that gliding and picking up hair is great for smoothing. I was finished in about ten minutes and my hair looked amazing for the first time in a year. I used my flat iron just to make it a bit straighter, it took about three minutes because it was alreasy nice and smooth and it looked fantastic. I almost began to cry with joy that my hair actually looked good for the first time in a year!I went to cosmetology school in high school and in the twenty five years I have done this professionally I have used at least a hundred different hair appliances. I've tried every sold on TV gimmicky product, every type of professional product and every type of drug store product. This product is unique and exceptional so buy it with confidence. Make sure you dry your hair about 80% before using it and be AMAZED at the results! Product Update December 2, 2012: I still love this product and still give it 5 stars but a recent question Amazon asked me to answer about using this is African American hair made me want to update my review. I have moderately thick hair with a loose natural curl but the texture is not coarse. I don't think this product will work well in hair that is coarse in texture, very thick or with extremely tight curl. The bristles are very soft and I find I need to take small sections and on the top I need to softly cup the brush so it will pick up my hair. They probably make the bristles so soft so they don't tangle the hair but I think they could make them a bit firmer without that happening. I also think it would help if they made out a 1 ½ inch brush. For thicker coarse hair I recommend the Conair 2-in-1 Hot Air Brush which I also own and like a lot. I never had any use for the regular bristle brush but the 1 ½ inch brush with the plastic bristles works really well. IMPORTANT NOTE: There are several models of this brush make sure you get the one with at least 1000 watts of power or it won't get hot enough to smooth your hair. It doesn't spin on its own but it's still easy to use if you work section by section and spin the appliance yourself. Take about a one inch section and starting at the scalp pull the brush down the section, then roll the section up let it heat up well, and then pull it down again. Repeat this on the section until you get the smooth result you're looking for. This will give the hair some flip so if you're looking for straight you'll need to finish with a flat iron, but it will only take a quick pass or two. This is also true of your hair is very coarse, you may get better result and have them last longer with a quick pass of a flat iron. I still think it is a good product and does what it says it will do. Once again both of these items are styling products so you need to dry your hair about 80% before using it or it will not work well. Good Luck! One last suggestion, don't waste your time or money on cheap flat irons, buy a Chi, Rusk, Bayless, anything that normally retails for at least $150, you can find them much cheaper on Amazon or even at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. Cheap flat irons don't work nearly as well or as quickly.

Ok, I've never written a review for a product before, and trust me, have made many an Amazon purchase. I love this contraption. I have fine hair (but tons of em...) that has absolutely NO body on its own. If I blow out my hair, using a large, round brush, using the heat then cool method, I have body and bounce that lasts all day... otherwise, flat right away. To do this, I have had to clip up sections of hair at a time, to keep the top hair off of the section I am working on, working my way to the top. It's not easy to get the ends to stay around the brush, it takes forever, and it's difficult to spin while drying. Enter the Infiniti Spin Air Rotating Styler! This thing does a fantastic job! It takes a bit longer than a high power blow dryer does, but I must confess that most times I use both... which, in my opinion, is genius =). I hold the spinner in one hand, and my standard blow dryer in the other. My hair dries extra quick, and allows me to set in my style with my blow dryer's cool button. My hair is full of bounce and shine, and holds its body all day long. The ends are smooth, eliminating the need to use a straightener. I noticed some complaints about this thing weighing a lot, but honestly, it weighs quite a bit less than my blow dryer... maybe I'm just tougher than some??? I would give it a full 5 star rating if the spinning feature worked on the cool setting...Anyway, I love, love, love this thing. Would buy it again in a heart beat.

I bought both the Infinity Pro Hot Air Spinner 2" and the John Frieda Salon Shape 1.5 Inch Hot Air Brush ( JF for short). Both are great products. The Infinity by Conair is rated #1 and JF is rated #2. I had a hard time trying to decide which to buy. Then bought both. I wanted to share the differences between the two in case it helps someone else choose one or both. I love both products. The biggest difference is that the Infinity spins and the JF does not. The other noticeable difference is that the Infinity spin brush has very soft bristles. My hair is a medium- longish bob. The bristles are soft and won't just "grab" my hair unless I use the spinning option. It works great and it gives you the blow out look. The JF may not spin but the bristles are soft and they have some sturdier bristles mixed in which does grab hair very easily. It also will give you the blow out look. If you have shorter hair, the 2' Infinity Pro Spin won't really be small enough with the overall shape or size. I would opt for a smaller barrel. I believe the Infinity does come smaller. The JF 1.5" grabs shorter hair easily ( it has some harder bristles). It was used on my mom's hair because her hair is shorter. The Infinity worked too spinning, but a smaller barrel size would've worked better on her hair. The JF worked great. As I said, both are great products and I'm glad to have both. Mine is the Infinity and the JF is my mom's. So I have been able to use both and see the differences, pros and cons. Both have 3 settings, high,low and cool. Both style very well. I have never been able to perfect the art of using a brush in one hand and a hair dryer in the other to dry my hair. I use the Conair styling hair dryer that has a brush attachment to "dry my hair". Another thing is that both the Infinity and the JF work best when your hair is about 75-80% dry. Then you can fix any frizziness or curl with either product. ( Both my mom and I have curly hair). I know this review is being written on the Infinity page, I did the same on the John Frieda review. I love how the Infinity spins nicely, and it spins in either direction which is great! It does not tangle and shapes my hair very easily. I can understand why it's rated #1. I love it and have had no problems. It's a learning curve, but an easy one. I used to have the Instyler, and I had a hard time with that one. Mainly because the tip got too hot. The tips or the ends on the Infinity and JF both warm up and can get quite warm. Thermal gloves work fine if you need something, but you can buy cheap gloves at Walgreens and they work just as well. I haven't found a need for either. The only thing I wish the Infinity had was a few harder bristles mixed in with the very soft bristles. They would help in grabbing hair if not using the spin option. I wouldn't take off any points for that. As I said, both products are great! They both shape and smooth while styling! Both work great at the roots providing extra lift! I hope this review helps someone make a decision if needed. Both come in different sizes which is good. Both work very well which is great! I love the Infinity product and highly recommend it! Hope this helps someone!! I know I had a hard time deciding, and I'm glad I bought both. I do use my Infinity all the time. I do not use my mom's JF as often but she does use it and she loves it too! . Sorry I used the word "both" so many times! :) Thanks! I hope this helps someone!

I have owner the Revo curling brush for over 10 years. I am a die-hard Revo fan and when mine died I was devastated! But, I finally decided to give this product a shot. The problem is though that the brush is different - there aren't as many bristles, the heat is practically pointless - there is just not enough and - the biggest problem of all - the barrel is just too small. I have naturally wavy/frizzy hair that is crazy fizzy and unkempt when left to naturally dry. When I used to use the Revo, the brush bristles were PERFECT for it. The brush tamed every strand and left my hair feeling shiny, soft and smooth. I would get so many complements on my hair! With this brush, there is just not enough bristles and I do find I get my hair tangled in it somehow?! No idea as there aren't many bristles. I did find if I kept cleaning the thin layer of hair that built up on the bristles, it would grab my hair better, but not by much. Also, my hair doesn't slide through the bristles like with my Revo. As for the hair dryer part of it - COMPLETELY worthless! I found my hair can be no less than 90% dry for me to use this brush on it and even then it takes FOREVER to dry. With my Revo, I would be done ini 10 minutes. With this thing, it's more like 20 minutes and the brush STILL can't dry it enough - I can tell it still feels damp which is your worst nightmare for those of you that have hair like mine. As it dries on my way to work, it ends up curling up. By the time I get to work 20-30 minutes later, my hair is crazy curly. Now if you wanted curly hair, this is your brush. I do not tough. With my Revo, the brush was really fat and it left my hair in these large slight waves. It would be straight but not sickly anemic straight like with a CHI. The Infinitipro needs to be just a bit bigger so your hair doesn't end up curling up on you. Totally hate it. Now, I'm not going to have to shell out the hundred bucks to get a new Revo.

I am one of the cosmetically clueless. 30 years old, and since i mastered the ponytail at the age of 18 (yes that's right, it took me until age 18 to figure out how to do a decent ponytail!), I rarely do anything to my hair for the sole reason that I am no good at it at all. A few years back, I went to a very patient stylist who labored to teach me the hair dryer/round brush method of doing my hair, and I managed to learn how to use a straightener after to tame the fluffed up broken strands that resulted from this process. At the end of all that, I ended up with a passable head of hair that would look decent for about an hour until i touched it, came in contact with wind, rain, sleet, sun, snow or otherwise did anything other than sit with my head perfectly still. Then I got this bad boy. I will adnit it takes some getting used to (a 5 minute learning curve for something hair inept like myself). I was concerned at first with the width of the brush. It is easily the size of a full two inch round brush or iron. I first tested on dry hair as soon as I got it out of the box. It did nothing really for my dry hair, except make it big and static-y. I do NOT recommend it for dry hair unless you have some sort of tamer or prewet it. This morning I used it on my freshly showered, shampooed and conditioned hair. I was worried about it pulling out strands, or tangling in my hair, but they have designed it so in order for it to rotate, you have to hold a button down (you can also direct the rotation clockwise or counterclockwise by pushing different buttons-super useful when switching sides of hair). Even when holding down the button I did not manage to cause tangles, rips, or pain in anyway (which i ALWAYS manage when using a manual round brush.) It took about as much and maybe even a few minutes less time to dry may hair, but I didn't need the straightener step. My hair feels smooth, has a nicely contoured shape and looks as good (or better) than when it is freshly done from the salon. My husband (the man of few compliments) even commented positively on it (Okay, so he said "How much did that cost me?"....but that's glowing praise coming from him :-) ) Now for the disclaimer. This is NOT for short hair. with this big of a brush, I would assume your hair would need to be shoulder length or better (mine is just around my shoulders). I don't recommended using for touchups to dry hair, unless you're looking for that "Just touched a light socket" look. Be careful at the roots. This is a BIG FAT brush. When you put it to your roots on spin, you will end up with BIG FAT hair if you overdo it. Be careful just past the roots. This is a BIG FAT brush. If you put it under your hair towards the top of your head, you could end up with UFO shaped hair. Take the time to get your manual dexterity into alignment. You have to hold the button and position the brush. You have to make sure you're pushing the right button so that it spins the direction you want. Once you get used it, you'll realize that this is a GODSEND and worth every penny you paid for it. Thanks for reading, I'm off to look in the mirror and pretend I'm in a shampoo commercial :-)

My old hot-air curling iron broke and so I searched for quite awhile to find a suitable replacement. After reading the reviews on the Infinitipro Spin Air Rotating Styler, I decided to buy it. After all, it seemed superior to the kind of hot-air styler I had before (non-rotating). First impressions: It is really big. 2" around to be exact. Also -- it is kind of loud but not too bad. The product worked as it is supposed to but works much better when rotating. I would say that the bristles are too soft and the brush too big for it to be of any use when it is not rotating. YMMV. Overall, I wasn't super impressed with this product. I do like it but I think they need a few more sizes (smaller sizes) to get more diversity out of it. As it is now, it's kind of a one-note product. You can get a good blow-out but if you have long hair, you might find that you don't get very good volume without putting a lot of product in your hair first. Side note: If your hair is super wet, this brush does not work very well. You want mildly damp hair. I recommend wrapping your hair in a towel for a few minutes before using.

This is the best product ever! This is my 2nd time owning this styler. It makes it so much easier to handle and leaves a smooth texture on your hair! My first one I had for 10 years and was so disappointed when it died; afraid I couldn’t find another. It’s so easy to use. I love it!

Tengo poco tiempo con el Cepillo hasta ahorita funcionando bien

When I first purchased this blow drier I was looking for a tool that could give me an edge, that could help me not work so hard to get a salon simulated blow out. When it arrived, it took a few tries to get used to it in my hand. My hair was shoulder/ collar bone length and when I used the drier it wasn't giving me the bounce I had hoped for. I was beginning to think it was a waste of money. But a few weeks later I cut my hair to The middle of my neck and re-tried using this drier. Now at this length I can say -- IT IS THE BEST TOOL EVER! I love this drier. Combined with some volumizing mousse my hair has crazy amounts of volume. It looks like a professional blow out. Things to note: 🔹I have medium fine hair - but a lot of it. 🔹My hair hasn't been coloured 🔹And as mentioned it sits at the base of my neck ✅ Is it worth the money 💲 - YES ✅ Would I order another one 💯 per cent. Hope this helps. 💋

I purchased this last yr in the US. The rotating barrel was slightly smaller but faster. This one is a little bulky and not as quick. Needs a lot more pressure. Meets expectations and definitely worth the price. I really love the results but its been a little over 1.5yrs and the rotating brush has stopped working. I use it on a regular basis to smoothen my bangs, that's all. Its a pity it doesn't work anymore, have spent additionally on the converter and plug for the same. It is a good product. Just not built to last.

¡Excelente producto! Lo compre como regalo de navidad Para mi mamá que sufre por su cabello ondulado y esponjado Y la verdad nos sorprendió. Es muy fácil de usar y quita el frizz al instante, no podía creer los resultados. Lo recomiendo.

I used the brush only once, but I got the expected results. It was easy and I finished the job in a short period; I do have long hair and usually it take me a long time to style it. I still need to get used how to properly use the rotating setting, but overal, I am happy with my purchase.
