Your hair is lovely Ginand.

I've been persevering with mine but the results aren't improving and my hair keeps getting tangled in the barrel.
However, I'm having my hair cut this week, it's a long time overdue. Trying to use the big hair in it's current state is like trying to untangle damp spider webs with a garden hoe.

Hopefully the haircut will improve the results I'm getting and just generally look better

I’ve been using mine for a few days now and I definitely think it’s an improvement on the ‘standard’ BBH. It feels kinder to my hair.

What I love about the BBH is that my hair stays ‘done’ looking all day for just 5 mins effort in the morning. If I just use the dryer, it looks great for 5 mins then goes limp and frizzy. If I put Velcro rollers in after the dryer, it stays looking pretty good, but they need to stay in for about 1/2 an hour which is no good if you are in a rush. The BBH is by far the best styling gadget I’ve ever had for both speed and results.

Tried mine from wet today. As in I blasted my hair for a bit with the hairdryer and then used the big hair care.

Hate to say this. Think the old one was better. Can't seem to get my hair looking as good. Feels really fluffy and flyaway.

Can actually see the frizz.

Like another poster though I am seriously due a trim

Ok tested mine today.
Background is my hair has totally changed in the last 10 years, used to be pretty straight and silky.
Now I have random ringlets and flat on top and frizz all over. Overall this is NOT a good look.

I will be 50 in January, I've no issue with that but rubbish hair at 50 is a no for me.
Had a BBH for years so am a bit of a pro but it's getting harder to see good results.

First attempt took 11 minuets and was impressive for a quick go.
Only drawback so far was tensioning the hair with the powerful pull of the brush made my arm ache towards the end.

Hopefully before and after attached.

I received mine on Saturday and have been using it daily since. I like it a lot and actually prefer to the old one. I’ve had the old one for a couple of years now and consider myself a pro at using it.
My hair is flat, lifeless messy straight-ish and I can only sacrifice 10-15 minutes to make it right in the morning.
The new BBH is easier to use than the old one, a lot less tangling. It also seems to be gentler on my hair, perhaps because of the bristles being further apart. Styling takes less time than with the old one and de-frizzing results are good and long lasting.
In short, I’m a convert. And I love the new colour!

Other testers - what am I doing wrong to make my hair tangle around the small gap at the end of the brush? I've tried smaller sections but it seems to blow the hair that way.

My old one doesn't do this, and I think I'm using them both in the same way.

Any ideas?

I just got mine as was at the sorting office. Very excited to try it tomorrow!

@Tequilamockingbird mine keeps getting stuck there too. I've just been using much smaller sections, but that then has the knock on effect of taking ages. Let me know if you figure it out

Tried it for the first time today. My hair is long and curly, I used the old BBH to get it sleek with waves at the end I.e. not poker straight like with straighteners, and was quite good at it before it died on me.

Unfortunately my first attempt with the new BBH has left me with a head full of frizzy. It basically looks like it does at the hairdressers before they take the GHDs to it!

I may just need more practice so will give it another go tomorrow.

I’ve got shoulder length, thick hair which is wavy on some bits and frizzy on others.

I’m having the same problem as Tequila , with tangling in the gap and breakage, and other posters with leftover frizz and it not feeling hot enough.

Will persevere but a bit disappointed at the moment
