Explore Avanti FreePlay and Ultra by the finish you want and the controls you use. Compare plate width, fixed versus adjustable heat, barrel size and brush grip, then pair your dryer with the right attachment.
1-inch flat irons
AFRSTYLE171C offers five settings from 265–450°F; AV-GENC offers six settings and longer plates. AVTG1C uses extra-long titanium plates and digital control, while AVSLEEKC adds a touch-screen display. Select the control format and plate length you need; maximum heat is a specification, not a target for every head of hair.
Wide titanium flat irons
Both linked tools offer 1-3/8-inch floating titanium plates and digital heat control. AV-CROCIRC is the infrared model; AV-CROCC is the separate Ultra reference. Wider plates change section coverage and access around short layers; compare that trade-off with the one-inch models.
Mini flat iron
The mini AFRFLAT161C uses narrow 5/8-inch plates and a fixed 410°F setting. Choose it for small sections and packing space; it does not offer the adjustable temperature range of the larger digital models.

FreePlay curls and waves
Choose the spring-clamp iron when you want the tool to hold the section, or the wand to control wrapping by hand. The catalogue offers 1 and 1-1/4-inch formats; the smaller diameter shapes a tighter bend. The FreePlay iron is fixed at 430°F, so choose another temperature-control format if your technique requires a lower setting.
Turbo and FreePlay dryers
All three listings specify 1,875W, but that does not make them the same dryer. Turbo A-TURBOC has a switchable ion generator; FreePlay AFRAIRC uses a DC motor and includes a nozzle and diffuser; AFRAIR2C is the AC tourmaline/ceramic model. Compare handling, controls and supplied attachments.
Dryer diffusers
The folding 69SILC accommodates dryer barrels up to 47 mm; measure the outside barrel and check its shape. The 69AVAUC uses a different flexible fitting arrangement. Choose attachment fit and diffuser shape before packability; a universal name is not an exact model match.

Thermal round brushes
The gel-handle family offers 16,25,33,44 and 53 mm; the standard vented family offers 25,33,43 and 53 mm. Choose diameter for the bend and section length, then compare grip. The extra-long EXT-44C/EXT-53C references are separate medium/large choices, with longer working barrels.
Cushion brushes
Compare the rectangular and oval bristle fields for section width and access around the head. The gel-handle ceramic cushion brush is another grip choice. These are manual brushes; use shape and bristle layout to choose the contact you want.
Vent and skeleton brushes
The open skeleton frame lets airflow through a broad open structure; the tunnel vent has a different backing and grip. Ultra TF-VT8C uses eight rows of bristles. Compare airflow openings and the amount of bristle contact needed to direct the section.
Choosing with confidence
Are all Avanti tools adjustable?
No. FreePlay curling irons specify 430°F fixed heat and the mini iron 410°F. Other irons offer stepped or digital adjustment. Start with the temperature control your technique needs.
Does brush diameter transfer between ranges?
Read the exact range option: the gel family lists 44 mm where the standard family lists 43 mm. Medium and large are relative names, so use the linked reference and listed size within each family.
