Are you looking for the best airstyler? The MAE Airstyler 5 in 1 is a great choice to consider. The Airstyler 5 in 1 is a styling tool that gives you versatility with your hair. In this blog, we'll compare the MAE Airstyler 5 in 1 with the Philips Airstyler.
The Philips Airstyler
Philips has multiple variants of airstylers. The most well-known is the Philips Hairdryer Brush, which consists of several attachments:
- Concentrator nozzle
- Flat straightening brush
- Round brush
- Volumizer
- Heated round brush
With the Philips hairdryer brush, you dry and style your hair simultaneously.
Review: Philips Airstyler 3000
A well-known Philips hairdryer brush is the Philips Airstyler 3000, also known as the BHA305/00. Unlike other airstylers, this variant only has three attachments:
- Concentrator nozzle
- Round brush
- Heated round brush
The unique element of the Philips Airstyler 3000 is the brush with retractable bristles, which allows it to function as both a hairdryer brush and a curling iron. However, in practice, this attachment doesn't seem to produce a very different effect than the round brush. The curls are just as tight and don't last as long.
The Philips Airstyler 3000 is an option if you're looking for a hairdryer brush, but if you want tighter curls that last longer, we recommend an alternative: the MAE Airstyler.
Review: Philips Airstyler HP8656
In addition to the Airstyler 3000 from Philips, the HP8656 is a well-known hairdryer brush. This one has multiple attachments, namely five. These are the same as the variant described above, plus a volumizer and a flat brush.
The volumizer genuinely creates a lot of volume in the short term, but unfortunately, this quickly fades. The flat brush is a good addition if you are looking to style natural hair. This attachment functions well as a straightener.
The Philips Airstyler HP8656 is a better option than the cheaper Philips variant, but it doesn't replace the function of a true curling iron.
MAE Airstyler 5 in 1 vs. Philips Airstyler: The Difference
In summary, both products are good choices. If you're purely looking for a hairdryer brush, the Philips variants are a good option. If you want more options and the ability to create various styles, we recommend the Airstyler 5 in 1 from MAE. The advantages of the MAE Airstyler are:
- With MAE, you receive five attachments as standard instead of three, namely the following:
Airstyler 30mm left, Airstyler 30mm right, Hairdryer base, Flat dryer brush, Pre-styling hairdryer, Round volume brush;
- With MAE, you also receive a heat-protective glove, a manual, and access to our tutorials on how to best use the product;
- The MAE Airstyler consists of airwrap attachments with special technology for better curls. The airstyler attachments feature coanda technology and negative ions, which results in less heat damage to your hair;
- The MAE Airstyler creates tighter curls that last longer;
- The Philips Airstyler is cheaper, but you get less for the price.
In summary, both airstylers are good options if you are looking for a hairdryer brush, but we are big fans of MAE's airstylers. Of course, we are a bit biased.
At MAE, we are committed to continuous learning, development, and constant improvement of our products. That's why we continue to test and share our findings with you.
