This Might Be the Only Hair Straightening Tool You Need

The Bluvol I11 Apex cordless straightening comb has been touted as potentially the ultimate hair straightening tool. This compact device impressed the author, a former curl wearer, with its efficient performance and cordless convenience. Upon receiving the Bluvol I11 Apex, the author compared it to their long-time favorite Tymo Ring hair straightening brush.

The Bluvol model proved to be a more impressive cordless straightener. Its lightweight design and comfortable grip made it easy to handle, with a well-crafted feel. After charging, the author and a cousin with thick, curly hair tested the Bluvol's capabilities. The straightening comb features three heat settings (320, 365, and 410 degrees Fahrenheit) and an LCD screen to monitor temperature and battery life.

The comb's upgraded ceramic glazed plates prevent singeing and allow multiple passes without hair damage. Its wide heating area ensures consistent heat distribution, making it ideal for quick touch-ups or full hair straightening. The Bluvol also releases "200 million negative ions to smooth hair and reduce static and frizz." While the author couldn't confirm this claim, they noted that the comb left her hair smoother than her usual flat iron and required fewer passes.

The I11 Apex comes with a charging cable and recommends using a 15-watt or higher adapter, providing up to 45 minutes of styling time on a full charge. However, the author noted that the comb's layout might not be ideal for very short hair. The device also has a physical lock switch to prevent accidental activation while in a bag.

Bluvol offers the I11 Apex for $90 on Amazon, currently with a 22% discount for Prime Members. For those seeking a versatile styling tool, the Bluvol I11 Apex offers a convenient, portable solution. Alternatively, Tymo has introduced a two-in-one straightening brush with a built-in traditional flat iron for those who don't require portability.
