Dear New York Post Shopping readers, you probably know by now that if there’s a new blow dryer to hit the market, we’re going to try it!
So, when Moroccanoil debuted its newly minted 4-in-1 Blow-Dryer Brush (quite literally, as it’s embossed in the brand’s signature mint shade), we simply had to give it a go. After all, we’ve reviewed plenty of hair tools, from amika to Dyson.
Not only that, but my haircare closet is pretty stocked to the brim. After more than two years of testing the best shampoos and leave-in conditioners — oh, and we can’t forget about hair mousses and hair sprays — I’ve gained expertise on what’s worth the buy and what isn’t, as well as what makes a good hair product standout from the rest.
After reaching for Moroccanoil’s Everlasting Curl Titanium Curling Iron ($160) for years now, I had an inkling the brand would turnover a blow-dryer brush sooner rather than later. How could it not? Its products are all easy to use, make your hair look and feel amazing and — the cherry on top — have been seen backstage during New York Fashion Week.
Ahead, find my full review on the Moroccanoil 4-in-1 Blow Dryer Brush. Lord knows I need another blow dryer in my collection, but hey, it’s a whole lot of fun to style my hair and compare.
The Moroccanoil 4-in-1 Blow-Dryer Brush is said to be suited for all hair textures, helps tame frizz and even increases shine — a feat the brand is applauded for among its catalog of formulations.
What’s more, this hair tool was designed with advanced ionic technology to help reduce drying time and static. Its far-infrared light helps reduce thermal exposure, too.
While reviewing the Moroccanoil 4-in-1 Blow-Dryer Brush, here’s the checklist we ran through to compare it to some others we’ve used:
Blow-dryer brushes are notorious for being easy to use, and the Moroccanoil 4-in-1 Blow-Dryer Brush is no different. It’s nearly identical to the Drybar’s The Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush ($155) in both shape and maneuver, though the Moroccanoil model has a few key characteristics that made me pleasantly surprised while styling.
First things first, prime your hair with a good heat protectant. Fittingly, I used the Moroccanoil Perfect Defense Heat Protectant ($30) and followed with the brand’s new Frizz Shield Spray ($30) to prep my hair and prevent those flyaways.
On other days, reaching for the Moroccanoil Smoothing Lotion ($36) isn’t a rare event; this pump-style bottle is one of my favorite miracle-workers.
To cut right to the chase, the Moroccanoil 4-in-1 Blow-Dryer Brush has an array of easy-to-use heat settings (which allows for wonderful customizability), keeps your hair taut and in place while styling (without pulling your hair; it gently tugs it, keeping your sectioned-off hair nicely wrapped around its bristles) and leaves your hair polished and exactly how I prefer it to look.
Oh, and drumroll please: this blow-dryer brush is the quickest to use, allowing me to style my hair in just 10 minutes!
If you wish, you can grab your favorite curling iron or wand to accentuate your blowout after use.
Though I don’t have as much body with the Moroccanoil 4-in-1 Blow-Dryer Brush compared to others I’ve tested, I do appreciate how it leaves me with a polished, virtually frizz-free look. In fact, this is ideal, because you can always up the body on your hair with the Moroccanoil Dry Texture Spray ($30) — how I like to end my hair-styling time to achieve a bit more fullness.
As mentioned, rotating my blow-dryer brushes makes styling my hair exciting and fresh post-shower (hint hint, full blow-dryer brush review coming soon). Below, I outlined how the Moroccanoil 4-in-1 Blow-Dryer Brush measures up to others I’ve tried:

The Moroccanoil 4-in-1 Blow-Dryer Brush impressed me. I’ve been using the brand for years and found the design, efficacy and ease of styling to be a trifecta of hair-goodness. Now, all you have to do is buy (trust me, it’s worth your hard-earned coin).
