Tymo Ring vs. Drybar The Brush Crush Heated Straightening Brush

Jodhaira Rodriguez
I’m a writer and product tester at Consumer Reports with waist-length, box-dyed curly hair. My 3B-2C curls are dry and frizzy. Usually, I wear my hair natural, but when I straighten my hair, I use a Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer and a flat iron. My biggest issue with the Revlon One-Step Volumizer has always been how difficult it is to maneuver around my roots.
