Big Hair

I have frizzy curly hair so doing anything to my hair can be a pain. Being a mum of 3 I really struggle to look after my bottom length hair. Got it cut to armpit length so I could style it whenever i wanted to but still had it tied up all the time because straightening took too long and using a dryer made me look like hagrid 😂 the only time my hair looked good was the day i got back from the salon. This brush is amazing. I've managed to blow dry my hair salon style which is a huge achievement for me having always tied my hair up 24/7. It takes a bit of time getting used to but results are amazing. Only downside is its fast so i kept getting my hair stuck and pulled out. Then again it was first try and i think the speed is essential to get good results. The key is to take thin sections, it really helps getting it done quicker. Also would have loved the barrel to be a bit smaller. Other than that I'm a happy lady who will be doing her hair up much more often!

OMG! absolute game changer. I've just used this dryer brush for the first time and WOW it's amazing! No more arm ache from holding a heavy hairdryer and brush, it's super lightweight and I styled my hair in just 10 minutes from towel wet. I do have a short bob and probably hadn't realised I had purchased the Big Hair dryer, however, the rotating brush picked up every strand and has left it looking like I just came out of the salon, even the back is perfect and I didn't have to use the hair straighteners at the end as I usually do. So much body and lift, I would certainly recommend this, will be ditching my old hair dryer for sure.

Good value for money. It does what it says it does. Hair is much more voluminous for great styling. Only one tool for comb and hairdryer makes blow drying much easier.

UPDATE: 22 April 2018 I still highly rate this brilliant appliance BUT the cool setting stopped working after about one month of light use, only 2-3 times a week at most. Have to deduct one star accordingly to be fair. I know I'm not the first person to flag up this fault. Thought it wasn't a big deal but actually it's pretty vital to 'set' the curl/wave, for my hair type anyway. On another matter, in my opinion the two heating settings are hot to very hot, i.e. not warm to hot so I only ever use the first setting as the second setting is way too fierce for my hair, plus it would take out any last bit of moisture. DECEMBER 2017: I've just used it for the first time and I'm over the moon! I have very fine hair but loads of it and in the right hands, i.e. a great stylist, it can look fab. I'm rubbish at blow drying and styling with a brush at the best of times. But this appliance has just given me that 'salon' look: root lift, smooth and shiny hair with NO STATIC just lovely soft waves. I didn't even pin any of my hair up or back, just dried it to about 80% as per instructions, brushed out a section at a time and got on with it. No tangling or knotting. Tbh I'm really pleased how incredibly easy it is to use, got the knack of it in a flash. If like me you have longish hair your arm will get a bit tired lifting and getting the back in shape but it's so fast it's nothing at all. Believe me, if I can produce great looking hair, anyone can. Even my other half was really impressed with the results, very complimentary. It's banished my bad hair days!

The BaByliss Big Hair Rotating Hair Dryer Brush is a fantastic styling tool and makes drying and styling hair in one step very easy. The rotating brush does most of the work, helping to add volume and shape without needing a separate dryer and brush. The two speed and heat settings are simple to use, and the alternating rotation makes it easy to style both sides evenly. Hair feels smooth and looks well-styled without excessive heat damage. It’s particularly good for creating a salon-style blow-dry at home. Overall, this is a great time-saving product that delivers excellent results. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an easy and effective hair styling solution.

I bought this after using my aunt’s rotating hair dryer with a smaller barrel, which I loved. This larger barrel smooths my shoulder-length hair well and adds volume. I part-dry my hair first and then use this brush to smooth it. The three settings (cool, medium, and high) are fine, though rotation only works on medium and high. I do find the handle quite bulky and feel I’d have more control if it were slimmer. Was happy until I wasn’t! Unfortunately, my hair repeatedly gets caught in the gap where the circular top meets the brush body. It gets stuck so badly that hair has to be pulled out, broken off, or cut free. This has happened three times and pulled out small chunks of my hair. Because of this design flaw, I can’t fully recommend it.

I am the biggest fan of babyliss big hair products (though they seem to have brought one out that doesn't blow hair dry too, which I think should be renamed as It would be really easy to buy it by accident.). If I get even a hint mine is about to conk out I buy a new one. Nothing controls my hair as well as this. If they ever stop making it I will have to stockpile as many as I can afford. I have thin, but really fine semi curly/frizzy hair. Im not one for straighteners as I like a bit of body and bounce and the babyliss big hair gives you that, especially if you have some layers in your hair.. I usually get the standard barreled one, then last time got the one with changeable large and medium barrels. This is a good option if like me you can go ages between cuts. My latest haircut is a lot shorter, layered to about the shoulders. Though I think the petites were intended for shorter hair, I hoped I might get a tighter curl out of these. And I do! In fact my hair still looks fine the next day with the petite, more so than it does with the bigger barrels. I use john frieda frizz easy mouse plus an oil product on my hair after washing. I then use a hair dryer to get it almost fully dry before using the big hair (It takes way too long if you do it from fully wet, though it does still give good results, you dont need to waste so much time). From the point I put the hair dryer down after drying it off, to finishing using the big hair is less than 10 minutes once you get the hang of it. Im rubbish with other hair devices, like the secret curl, wands etc but this is easy to use. I find that I do have to concentrate more when using the petite as it is easier to get your hair tangled if you dont pay attention. It really grabbed my hair the first time I used it and I had to slow down a bit, and feed less hair onto it. Like all big hairs I have previously bought, it seems to take a couple of uses to get going. Its hard to explain but they feel a bit jerky on the first use or two. I think its because you get used to using ones with somewhat flattened bristles, so when you get a new one it just doesn't feel right at first. The bristles on this petite seems to have flattened really quickly and the hair isnt being brushed between the bristles, its more going over them. Its possible this has always happened and I haven't noticed. This one certainly has bristles that look as splayed as the one I bought previously which Ive used most days for 2 years. Keep any receipts and check returns options if they conk out before 12 months. I have had 3 of these over they years that haven't lasted a full 12 months. This has been with almost daily use though, which I guess is a lot, but they should last longer. On all three occasions I had kept the receipt and boots replaced all with a new one. Im hoping I'll get the same service from Amazon if it happens with this one. So for all the quirks of this device, nothing makes my hair look as nice. And from now on, after trying the petite, I think I will always need a petite version and a regular to hand, unless babyliss make another with 2 barrels, one of them being the petite and one a regular sized one.

This is the best rotary hair drying styling brush . I have tried and Ive tried a lot. It’s great for my shoulder length blade hair. It has lows and height heat speeds. Rotates unwind and wind at a push of a buttons to make it rotate get use to the button before putting to hair slide the on off to setting above are two left and right buttons to start rotation of bush. keep pressed for wave and curly just don’t put to much hair at once round the brush let it fee it self . now I am used to the way I want my hair styled. It takes me five minutes and the compliments I get all my friends and family now have tried mine and brought one them self or buying one. Fast delivery and all round excellent
