BaByliss Diamond Heated Smoothing and Straightening Brush

Product Information

She is not so good at blow-drying or straightening her hair at home, but the Babyliss Diamond Heated brush changed her life.

As far as straightening goes there are two options, both firm and soft smoothing brushes, which you can play around with depending on just how sleek you want to go (soft brushes tend to make hair sleeker).She has thick, curly hair that usually takes her an hour and a half to straighten, but she says this brush got her down to a maximum of 45 minutes. You can get right down to the roots without worrying about your scalp or head getting too hot, thanks to the cool-tip bristles. Straightening brushes are designed to be easy to use: simply pull the brush through dry hair to create sleek, silky locks. It’s lightweight, small enough to fit in your handbag and features the same technology you’d expect to find in the brand’s standard plug-in models. This will prevent you from having to pass the device through your hair multiple times, thus reducing the chance of damage.

Before using a hot brush, don’t forget haircare’s golden rule – always use a heat protect spray to prevent damage and breakage. Our hair wasn’t left poker straight, but rather it became a smoother, glossier version of its natural look – in short, it was still our hair, but better. Hot tools with a range of temperature settings are great for hair health, allowing you to select a lower temperature for finer hair.

Finally, we confirm the weight and dimensions of the straightening brush and note any extras included in the box. The 3-D bristle structure means it covers more surface area than your usual heated brush, so makes light work of whipping through long and thick hair. It was genuinely hard to pick between this smoothing brush and Drybar’s for best overall since they both perform so flawlessly. This is because it is ceramic plates feature dual-zone technology, meaning a consistent optimum styling temperature of 185C is maintained for healthy-looking results. One charging session will give it power for forty minutes, and the lithium batteries mean that you can take it through the X-ray machine at an airport.

The brainchild of Dyson, a company best known for its high-tech vacuum cleaners and cooling fans, the corrale is packed with innovative technology to help combat heat damage.

An automatic switch-off function is also a good feature to have to avoid accidental fires from leaving the brush switched on when not in use. No piece of hair was in too awkward a place – we could always reach it – and found it was ideal for smoothing out kinks or adding a touch of volume when on-the-go. The brush is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre through even long or thick hair, and the long cord makes styling super-easy.
