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!
