Pro Artist 1-Inch Hot Air Styling Brush
$34.40
This Hot Tools brush has a 1-inch vented barrel that is small enough to curl pixie cuts and short bobs. A switch releases the barrel so it rotates and lets hair slip out without tangling. Towel-dry first, since it is meant for styling rather than drying soaking-wet hair.
