Reddit mentions of John Frieda Hot Air Brush

Get one of these! (I can't say for sure whether or not this is a legit brand/model to go for since I'm not from the US, but something similar). I have a very similar hair type to yours, and this gives me what I like to think of as a look similar to Kate Middleton ;) Plus I'm not very coordinated, and can't get to grips with the brush and blowdryer technique!

I let my hair air dry for a bit (which takes significantly less time since getting layers, so maybe look into that) or just go over it with a regular hairdryer until a lot of the excess water is gone. Then I section in into 2-3 inch chunks from the bottom layers upwards, and just go at it. Once you get in some practice you'll be able to do your whole head in about 15 minutes.

If in doubt, look up tutorials on Youtube. Also, look for a model that has a high temperature and/or wattage, or that specifically states it is for drying the hair - some are just for adding volume once your hair has already been styled, so don't need to be as hot/powerful.
