✨ Quick Take: Is It Worth It?
The InfinitiPRO Spin Brush is a unique pick in the hot air brush category thanks to its rotating barrel, which mimics salon-style blowouts with less effort. At just 13 oz and equipped with two tourmaline-coated round brushes, it’s a compact, affordable solution for adding shine, curls, or volume. On the flip side, its lower heat output (max ~180°F) and 500-watt motor make it less effective on thicker textures.
✅ Best for: Short to medium-length hair, users wanting an automatic rotating brush for easy body and bounce
❌ Skip if: You need higher heat or more durable build quality

❌ Need for better bristle durability or dual voltage
✨ Design & Build
The InfinitiPRO Hot Air Spin Brush is designed for precision and ease, with a compact, lightweight body and two interchangeable round barrels:
- 1.5″ barrel — for shaping bangs and shorter layers
- 2″ barrel — for adding volume and body to medium-length hair
The 3.3″ brush section is shorter than most hot air brushes, which improves control on short or layered styles but requires more passes on long hair.
The tourmaline ceramic-coated barrels distribute heat evenly while adding shine and reducing static. The 0.6 cm tufted bristles glide through hair gently but, without nylon pin rows, they don’t provide the strong grip needed for coarse or very textured strands.
Best suited for curling, flipping, and smoothing fine-to-medium hair, this tool is more about gentle shaping than heavy-duty detangling or straightening.
👉 If you’d prefer a compact oval barrel for root lift and short cuts, see the Drybar Half Shot review.
💡 Performance & Technology
Powered by a 500W motor, the Spin Brush is notably less powerful than oval dryers in this category. It offers three modes:
- Cool (~100°F) — airflow only
- Low (~150°F) — safe for fine or fragile strands
- High (~180°F) — effective for shaping, though limited on coarse or dense hair
Lab testing showed the high setting peaked at ~180°F, making it gentler than most hot air brushes. Still, studies confirm that even moderate heat above 150–160°F can alter hair proteins and weaken fibers over time, so heat protectant remains essential.
The rotating function mimics a salon blowout, turning left or right at the touch of a switch, reducing wrist strain and helping create smooth curls or bends. Airflow, however, is modest, meaning thick or long hair takes extra time to style.
The handle stayed cool at ~80°F, one of the lowest readings in our tests — making this brush very comfortable to use during longer sessions. Frizz control is moderate thanks to the ceramic coating, though without a dedicated ion generator, results are softer than with premium tools.
👉 If you need stronger heat and multiple barrel sizes for precision, the CHI 3-in-1 Round review is a better option.
🔌 Ergonomics & Convenience
At just 13 oz, the Spin Brush is among the lightest tools tested, reducing wrist fatigue and making it especially easy for smaller hands.
- Handle width: 1.55″ — slimmer than average, improves grip
- Cord length: 6 ft swivel — shorter than the 7.6 ft category average, limiting reach
- Tool length: 12.5″ — compact, ideal for daily use or travel
- Noise: 85 dBA — the quietest brush we tested; according to NIOSH, this sits at the safe daily exposure threshold, making it more comfortable for shared or quiet spaces
While easy to maneuver, the attachments can be stiff to detach, and bristles may bend with frequent use, so durability is a trade-off. It runs on 125V single voltage only, limiting international travel use, but includes a 3-year warranty, which is generous for its category.
👉 For users wanting louder power with bigger volume, consider the Revlon Original One-Step review.

💬 FAQ: Spin Brush Questions Answered
Q: Can you turn the spin off?
A: Yes! You can use it with or without the rotating function.
Q: Is it better for short or long hair?
A: Best for short to mid-length styles. Long hair requires more passes.
Q: Can I use this to dry wet hair?
A: Yes, but rough dry first — it’s not strong enough for soaking wet hair.
Q: Does it work on curly hair?
A: Works best on loose waves or fine curls. Not powerful enough for coily hair.
Q: Dual voltage?
A: No. U.S. use only (125V).
🏁 Final Verdict
The InfinitiPRO Hot Air Spin Brush is a great pick for short to shoulder-length hair that wants easy curl, flip, and shine. Its auto-rotating round barrels and light 13 oz build reduce wrist work and deliver soft volume fast. You give up muscle — lower heat (~180°F) and a 500W motor limit results on dense or coarse hair, and bristle durability is mid-tier — but for beginner-friendly, quiet, rotating styling, it’s a solid value.
