Last non NAS nas purchase....

So this was my last purchase for NAS but not on sale. I stopped coloring my hair when covid hit. I wear it in a sleek inverted bob and I like it glass smooth. Although I'm only 12-20% silver those strands are much wavier and I already have wave in my hair I don't enjoy plus I have a huge tendency to frizz in the summer with rain and humidity. So I've been very unhappy with my texture. I had tried the GHD hot brush, okay but I didn't love it and was worried about heat damage. Same with GHD flat iron. To decrease heat damage I actually bought the dyson air wrap (an open box sale on amazon) but I find the brushed are too wide to have good grip on my fine and short hair. But it was better than even the best blowdried. Next tried the dyson dryer straight and changed product to drybar prep rally. Better but still not great. Anyway I was scoping out the NAS sale and saw the drybar single shot on sale, which is a great price plus you get products. After reading a lot of reviews and watching youtube videos, I decided on the drybar reserve 3 in 1, which has the dryer, paddle brush and single shot attachment. It arrived this am. I use the innersense organic shampoo for fine hair and conditioner. Just sprited the drybar prep rally and started to play with the new toy both the paddle brush and oval brush. Wow is all I can say. I clearly have no idea what I am doing yet, but my hair is smoother than it's been since I stopped coloring it. Not as perfect as when my hairdresser blows is out but has that same feel like it's not going to frizz. I wanted to put this out there as there are a few more hours to the sale and if anyone is waffling on the drybar single shot that is on sale I would totally recommend you try it out!

I considered trying something like this, cause attempting to blow dry and style at the same time is a challenge. Gonna have to wait on it since I took an unpaid month off work though (worth every penny)!

Thanks, Gryffin! I was looking at the same item, actually. Thanks for the review! Glad you're pleased, and this is good validation.

Your hair is a little longer than mine, I think? But not LONG. Can you share which videos your watched? I can only find them for looooooong hair, which I haven't found helpful yet....

Thanks Gryffin, I will keep an eye out for something similar here. I can’t do a flat blow dry so I rely on my GHD. I prefer my hair smooth but with some body, not as ultra flat as my hairdresser does it (although what she does lasts a lot longer than my attempts). The GHD gives good results in dry weather but struggles in humidity. We’ve had very wet weather for most of the year. So my hair has been really depressing me! Good to have another option.

Suntiger - I haven’t had a month off since high school!! Well done! I’m so thrilled you got quality time. You can wait till the holiday sales. I’m sure if you are interested a bargain will come through.
Angie - my back is wedged up about 4.5 in. Then it comes down at an angle pretty much jaw length. But the round brush catches fine in the back. Think you are good with your longer length. If you are going to go short again you might want to check out the new 1/2 shot. https://www.drybar.com/catalog.....yer-brush/
I was thinking if the single shot was too big I’d get that for the back. But I think I’m fine playing with this for now. But I may consider getting the 1/2 shot, which I only see on drybar’s site just like I usually use two different sized brushes.

Angie the video is not specific to drybar. Had good tips. I watched a lot of review videos. I think drybar had tutorials also

Brooklyn - I hear you!! Humidity sucks. I like the ghd flat iron but I’m afraid of damaging my hair with regular use. It’s baby fine. I have a lot but very fine.

Working hard on another project though, so it definitely wasn't a vacation per se, but I highly recommend it Normally I wouldn't be able to, but was between contracts and I insisted (meaning kept pushing back start date)!

Thanks, Gryffin! I'll look at the videos soon.

Thank you for the review, Gryffin. I have been trying to find the perfect hot air brush for years. I can't remember all the names of the ones I have tried. The one I like is Babyliss. I could go on and on about this, but it is all about my hair type. I only dry my bangs and the top layer of my hair.
