I have had a babyliss big hair for a very long time i think i have only replaced it once over the past 8 years. The big hair worked fab for me except that the cool shot began to blow hot air instead which couldn't be good for my hair. It also takes me a while to dry my hair as i need to use a hairdryer then use the big hair to style as i am hopeless with those big round brushes.
So i went for this option as it's of similiar price £35.99 currently on offer, and apparently does the drying and the styling.
Now i have mixed feelings about this hair dryer - i want to be in love with it but I'm not.
Round brush head - 3/5
Doesn't rotate by itself and as i said i am no good at styling. I find that if i roll the brush up manually then unwind again it leaves my hair frizzy -and if i pull the brush down doesn't quite give me the same bounce as the big hair did. (I added a picture to show you what I mean) I do however prefer the bristle on this as it will catch and pull lesser hair.
Perhaps I need some more practicing with -although I'm not entirely convinced on it
The flat brush head - 5/5
This one took me by surprise. Infact it actually beats the round brush head as it dryed my hair beautifully at the roots. I have coloured hair growing out so my roots tend to stay wet for longer and so this brush worked perfect. I didn't get a bouncy blow dry effect but it dryed my hair gently without need of a seperate brush.
Dryer tip 5/5 -
This is also good. Similiar to the flat brush it does wonders for drying. It is also much lighter than you average hair dryer - and the air flow is better if you want to dry your roots first - or roots only and head out.
Curling tong 2/5 -
Takes alot of time. Didn't work for me or rather I don't have that sort of patience. Perhaps it's because of my hair but honestly if you are looking for air styles-do you really want hot copper on your hair? Or maybe you do.. it's ok But in my opinion this isnt efficient.
Heatproof gloves 5/5 -
A very pleasant addition. Perfwct size and not too thick so you can still run fingers down hair without making it greasy and hold tip of heads.
So all in all - if this lightweight styler had the ability to rotate like big hair then i would be jumping up and down with joy and raving about this as it would be the only thing I use. My sole purpose was to make space in my drawer but now i have an extra thing to make space for.. haha.
I am giving it a four star because it is hard to find a styler with 1000watts as they usually are 700-800watts. The extra power on this is what Makes it possible for your to dry your hair. I think if you are comfortable styling with a round brush then this will not disappoint you. The cord is the same length as the big hair - the switch button is easier to use in this than big hair as it doesn't get stuck.
Also I trust babyliss over the very cheap china alternatives thats found here.
Sorry about the long review but hopefully you'll know what to expect now and hope it helps you make a decision.
Happy hair!!!
