Just bought the Babyliss Big Hair! Any tips?

[outtheothersidefinally]

After hearing lots of good things about it here, and wanting great hair without having to go to the hairdressers (the Big Hair is loads cheaper!), I just bought it!

Had crap hair since I stopped BF 18m ago and can't stretch to regular cuts. Just thin and never looked nice. Went for the 42mm as I have shoulder length hair, layers and a side fringe, plus I want to grow my hair (but will still have payers etc). It's certainly big enough.

What heat protection do I need (though, after one use, it takes such little time and your hair is practically dry when you use it that it must get less heat than a normal hairdryer?)? Anything else?

I use the BedHead Queen for a Day thickening spray and think it's brilliant. I don't use a separate heat protection spray but then I tend to use the BBH before my hair is completely dry - for the final third of the blow-dry, if that makes sense.

Thank you! Never thought of looking at Bedhead for a thickening spray.

After you use it do you need to straighten your hair?

No, hair lovely and smooth! Only used it once but first time worked better than expected.

Think I need to invest in one

Do! I have brilliant hair every day now! Effortless and time saving! And money saving!

I have BBH and don't use it that much, but on Saturday night I did! Got a raft of compliments (doesn't happen often). I use a setting type lotion, squirt that into my hair after towel drying especially in roots, comb through, blast off with hair dryer then section hair & use BBH. Awesome.

Disclaimer: I have MASSES of hair and it is naturally thick, so BBH tames & makes mine look slick.

It is brilliant! I always rough dry first with hairdryer then use the big hair.

Tigi Superstar is very good for lift.

Yes. Pop it straight in the loft

Only 9.30 and 3 people at work already asked me if I've had a haircut! Loads of compliments! Took less than five minutes to do my hair with a toddler running around - let it dry first over breakfast! Why don't they hand these to all new mums?!
