The TYMO Ring and TYMO Ring Plus are easy to use hair straightening tools that offer fast and long-lasting results. Unlike hair straightening irons, these 2-in-1 comb and flat irons won’t leave your hair flat and lifeless after use, instead, you’ll have a full-bodied bouncy hair. We compare the two below to help you pick which one is right for you.
TYMO Ring vs TYMO Ring Plus Comparison Chart
Design
The TYMO Ring Plus has an LCD screen that displays the temperature while the TYMO Ring has LED light indicators.
When it comes to form factor, the TYMO Ring and Ring Plus are similar in that they look like a standard brush. The handles have just the right amount of thickness, so they are easy to grip. On the Ring, the handle has a glossy finish while the handle of the Ring Plus has a slightly textured finish for better grip.
Both the TYMO Ring and Ring Plus have three buttons for controls. There’s a power button and + – buttons for adjusting the temperature. The buttons on the Ring Plus are slightly recessed, so they are less prone to accidental button presses. The Ring’s buttons, in contrast, are flush with the handle. On the Ring are LED light indicators that tell you the current temperature setting in use. Meanwhile, the Ring Plus has an LCD screen that spells out the exact temperature. Needless to say, the Ring Plus’ LCD screen is more convenient and user-friendly than the LED light indicators on the Ring.
The brush portion of the TYMO Ring features a ceramic heated 3D brush with anti-scalding. The TYMO Ring Plus is also equipped with a 3D brush, but it now sports a nano titanium coating. While both need a wall outlet to power them, they are still very portable. They are lightweight, weighing around 1lb, and they also come with travel bags, so you can easily carry them anywhere.
Features
They have similar features, but the TYMO Ring Plus is upgraded with more temperature settings and faster heat up time.
The TYMO Ring and Ring Plus have similar features that include an auto-off function after 30 minutes, an anti-scald feature and a 360° swivel cord for better handling. They also have a wide temperature range for various types of hairs, as well as a fast heat up time.
They have the same feature set, but a couple of those features are improved on the Ring Plus. First, the temperature range is widened to 250°F to 410°F. The TYMO Ring, in comparison, has a temperature range of 266°F to 410°F. The difference here is small, but it’s still worth mentioning as it can make a difference for those with thinner hair.
Another difference is the number of temperature settings. The TYMO Ring has five temperature levels whereas the Ring Plus has nine. You’ll have better control with the TYMO Ring Plus with this upgrade.
Lastly, the heat up time is also improved on the TYMO Ring Plus. The TYMO Ring heats up in 60 seconds, which is quite good, but the Ring Plus heats up 30 seconds after turning on the device, which is a substantial improvement.
Performance
They have similar results, but the TYMO Ring Plus offers a better user-experience.
Using these hair straightening brushes is about as easy as using a regular brush. You just turn them on, set your preferred temperature level, then brush you hair. You don’t have to worry about scalding since these have an anti-scalding feature for safety.
The result from these hair brushes is very good, quite different from when using flat straightening irons. Instead of having flat, limp and lifeless hair, hair brushed with either the TYMO Ring or TYMO Ring Plus is full-bodied and bouncy. It also helps that these brushes are efficient, so your hair is not exposed to heat damage.
While they have similar results, the TYMO Ring Plus offers a more user-friendly experience than the TYMO Ring. Having an LCD screen means that user-error when setting temperature is minimized or completely eliminated, faster heat up saves your time and having more temperature levels to choose from gives you better control.
