A salon blowout can cost $60 to $120 in Australia. If you go once a week, that is $3,000 to $6,000 a year. A blowout brush lets you get the same smooth, volumised result at home in under 10 minutes — for the cost of a single salon visit.
But not all blowout brushes deliver the same results. The difference between a good blowout and a frizzy mess comes down to three things: power, barrel material, and barrel size. This guide explains how to choose the right one — and compares the most popular options in Australia side by side.
What Is a Blowout Brush and How Does It Work?
A blowout brush combines a hair dryer and a round brush into one tool. Instead of holding a dryer in one hand and a brush in the other (which requires skill and practice), a blowout brush does both simultaneously — blowing hot air through heated bristles to dry, smooth and volumise your hair in a single step.
The G&C Blowout Brush goes wet-to-dry, meaning you can use it straight out of the shower on towel-dried hair. No separate blow dryer needed.
Why Wattage Matters More Than You Think
The number one complaint about cheap blowout brushes is that they take ages to dry hair. That is almost always a wattage problem.
Under 800W
Most budget brushes. Barely enough airflow to dry fine hair. Thick or long hair will take 30+ minutes and still feel damp.
800 - 1000W
Mid-range. Acceptable for fine to medium hair. Will struggle with thick or very long hair.
1200W (G&C Blowout Brush)
Professional-grade power. Dries and styles even the thickest hair in under 10 minutes. The same wattage used in salon dryers.
The cost comparison: A single salon blowout costs $60 to $120, so the G&C Blowout Brush pays for itself after about two salon visits. Over a year, it saves thousands compared to weekly salon visits.
Choosing the Right Barrel Size
| Hair Length | Best Barrel Size | Best G&C Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Short to medium (pixie to shoulder) | Small / compact barrel | G&C Mini Blowout Brush (54x93mm head) |
| Medium to long | Large oval barrel | G&C Blowout Brush (full-size oval) |
| Thick or frizzy | Large barrel + high wattage | G&C Blowout Brush 1200W |

Best Value for Money
The G&C delivers 1200W with titanium ceramic technology at a standard $170, and ongoing promotions may be available. The Revlon is cheaper but at 1100W the gap is noticeable on thick hair.
Best for Thick Hair
The G&C at 1200W and the GHD at 1600W are the clear leaders. The Revlon at 1100W tends to struggle with very thick hair. If you have thick or dense hair, wattage is the single most important spec to check.
Best for Fine Hair
The G&C's Low heat setting makes it easy to use a gentler approach. The Revlon's cool shot option also works well for fine hair.
Best for Travel
The full-size G&C Blowout Brush is 220 - 240V, so for travel see our Travel Hair Tools Guide covering the G&C Mini Blowout Brush with dual voltage for worldwide use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a blowout brush on wet hair?
Yes, the G&C Blowout Brush is designed for wet-to-dry styling. Start with towel-dried hair (about 80% dry for fastest results) and the brush dries and styles in one step. No separate blow dryer needed.
How long does a blowout brush take compared to a salon blowout?
With a 1200W brush like the G&C, most women can achieve a full blowout in under 10 minutes. A salon blowout typically takes 30 to 45 minutes because of the two-hand technique with a separate dryer and round brush.
Will a blowout brush work on thick hair?
Yes, but wattage matters. Brushes under 800W will struggle with thick hair. The G&C Blowout Brush at 1200W has the same power as a professional salon dryer, which is enough to dry and style even thick, dense hair effectively.
What is the difference between the G&C Blowout Brush and the Mini Blowout Brush?
The full-size Blowout Brush has a large oval barrel and 1200W of power, ideal for medium to long hair. The Mini Blowout Brush has a compact barrel (54x93mm) and dual voltage (110 - 240V), making it better for short to medium hair and international travel.
