Thermal Brush vs Blow Dry Brush - What's the Difference? 

When it comes to achieving that salon-quality hair at home, choosing the right tools can make all the difference. Two popular thermal brushes and blow dry brushes, each designed to help you create smooth, voluminous styles. But what’s the real difference between these two tools, and which one is best for your hair type and styling goals?

Let’s dive into what sets these tools apart, plus a look at Mermade Hair's must-have brushes for achieving gorgeous styles with ease.

What Is a Thermal Brush?

A thermal brush is an electric styling tool that not only smooths and straightens your hair but can also shape it by adding volume, curve, and bounce. Unlike traditional brushes, thermal brushes have a heated barrel that uses technologies like ceramic or infrared to distribute heat evenly. This allows you to style your hair while maintaining its natural body and texture. It doesn't have any air coming out. 

For example, the Mermade Infrared Thermal Brush is a versatile tool that not only straightens your hair but also adds volume and creates a soft, bouncy shape. The infrared heat gently penetrates the hair, smoothing it while retaining moisture and reducing frizz, all while giving you the ability to shape your hair into voluminous, defined styles.

Best For:

  • Creating smooth, shiny hair with added bounce
  • Shaping hair with volume and soft waves or curls
  • Taming frizz and flyaways
  • Quick styling for all hair types, especially when you're looking to maintain natural body and movement

How It Works: The thermal brush heats up, allowing you to shape your hair as you brush. The Mermade Infrared Thermal Brush specifically uses infrared heat to gently style your hair while preserving its moisture and shine. This makes it perfect for creating volume at the roots or shaping your ends for that polished, bouncy finish. It can only be used on dry hair.

What Is a Blow Dry Brush?

A blow dry brush combines the power of a hair dryer with the structure of a brush, giving you the ability to dry and style your hair in one step. These brushes are perfect for creating smooth, voluminous blowouts quickly and easily, cutting down on styling time while delivering professional results.

The Mermade Blow Dry Brush is an all-in-one styling tool that dries and shapes your hair simultaneously. It’s ideal for creating a bouncy blowout with minimal effort, and the adjustable heat settings make it gentle on all hair types.

Best For:

  • Creating volume and smoothness in one step
  • Reducing styling time
  • Achieving a salon-worthy blowout at home
  • Suitable for all hair types, especially for those looking for an easy, all-in-one tool

How It Works:

The blow dry brush blows hot air through its bristles, allowing you to style, smooth, and dry your hair in one motion. The Mermade Blow Dry Brush is made to create lift at the roots and smooth the ends, giving your hair a voluminous, sleek finish with plenty of bounce and shine.

It all depends on your styling goals and routine. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide:

  • Thermal Brush (like the Mermade Hair Infrared Thermal Brush) are for those who want sleek, smooth hair with added volume and shape. It’s great for giving your hair curve and bounce, whether you’re looking to straighten, add waves, or create a polished blowout finish.

I have curly hair, can I use a thermal brush? 

You can, but it will not work as well as a Blow Dry Brush which takes your hair from wet to dry.
