BaByliss Big Hair...It's my favourite styling tool ever


So I thought it was about time I got round to reviewing my favourite hair tool of all time….ever….I couldn’t live without it…I actually have a spare one in case it ever breaks.. The BaByliss Big Hair.
I’ve mentioned it to many or my brides and clients and I couldn’t recommend it enough. I heard about The BaByliss Big Hair a few years ago from one of my brides and it was honestly life changing…it made me unfaithful to my GHD’s and that’s saying something!
My hair is incredibly curly and frizzy and whilst on holiday that’s great for beach waves, at home I was needing to curl or straighten my hair everyday without fail with my GHD’s…not good for heat damage.  Even when I take the time to blowdry my hair with a round brush, it still doesn’t banish the frizz to produce a salon smooth blowdry but with the BaByliss Big Hair it’s so easy!
There are two sizes of big hair, a large barrel for longer hair and a smaller barrel for shorter hair. I use the large barrel but I bought the smaller one for my mum and they’re both brilliant. The BaByliss Big Hair airstyler has a rotating brush to add dramatic volume and shine. It has three settings to use; stationary and then two rotation speeds for total control. The barrel can rotate in both directions also so no need to worry about being left or right handed or which side of your hair you’re styling.
I start with my hair damp rather than soaking wet, then taking sections starting underneath at the nape of the neck and then working up to and finishing at the parting. (Check out the BaByliss video here: http://www.babyliss.co.uk/new-big-hair-50mm.html) It takes about 15 minutes to dry and style hair in total and it really is so easy to do and no…it doesn’t tangle up in your hair! Make sure you still use some styling products and heat protector, I like L’Oreal Mythical Oil to help add moisture and shine and VO5 Smoothly Does It Lotion.
It’s also great to use just on your parting section if your hair needs a little boost in the mornings. Give it a go and be patient, it might take a few attempts before you get the hang of it. For £45 it’s the best investment I’ve ever made!
